Crappie fishing near Blue Eye, Missouri, centers around the renowned Table Rock Lake. This vast reservoir is a crappie angler's paradise, offering abundant habitat and a thriving crappie population. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie here, as they move into shallow coves and creek arms to spawn. Look for brush piles, submerged timber, and docks in 5-15 feet of water. A local tip is to use a small jig or minnow suspended under a bobber, and slowly work it around the structure. During the summer months, crappie tend to move deeper, so focus on submerged brush piles and ledges in 15-25 feet of water. Table Rock crappie are known for their size and abundance, and it's not uncommon to catch limits of fish over 10 inches. Be sure to check the local fishing regulations regarding size and creel limits before you head out.
