Crappie
If you're looking for Crappie near Gearhart, Oregon, you'll need to venture inland to find suitable habitat. Cullaby Lake, a short drive from Gearhart, is your best bet. This lake offers the shallow, weedy areas that crappie love. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Use small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles fished under a bobber near submerged structure or weed edges. Early morning and late evening are typically the most productive times. Another tip is to try trolling slowly with small crankbaits through deeper water near the lake's center. While Cullaby Lake isn't known for monster crappie, you can find good numbers of pan-sized fish. Keep an eye on water clarity, as clear water can make crappie more skittish.
