Crappie
Ames, Oklahoma, provides some great crappie fishing, especially at Lake McMurtry. This lake is known for its abundant crappie population, offering opportunities for both novice and experienced anglers. The best time to target crappie here is during the spring spawn, typically from late March through April, when they move into the shallows to breed. Another good time is in the fall as they feed heavily before winter. A local secret is to focus on submerged brush piles and standing timber in the coves. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits, fished under a bobber or slow-trolled. Be aware that McMurtry can get crowded on weekends during peak season, so consider fishing during the weekdays for a more relaxed experience. Crappie in McMurtry average a good size, with some reaching upwards of two pounds.
