Crappie
If you're chasing crappie near Oklahoma City, you've got several good options. Lake Hefner and Lake Overholser are popular choices, but smaller city lakes can also hold surprisingly good populations. Spring is prime time, as crappie move shallow to spawn. Target brush piles, submerged timber, and docks in 5-10 feet of water. A simple jig suspended under a bobber is a classic and effective method. As the water warms in the summer, crappie tend to move deeper, often suspending near submerged structure. Try trolling jigs or minnows at various depths to locate them. Fall can also be productive as crappie feed up before winter. Hefner can be wind-swept, so be prepared for potentially choppy conditions. A local tip: many of the smaller city lakes are easily accessible from shore, making them great options for anglers without a boat. Oklahoma crappie are known for their good size, so you might just land a slab!
