Crappie
Crappie enthusiasts will find opportunities around Burlison in the backwaters and sloughs connected to the Wolf River. These areas offer the calm, shallow water that crappie prefer, especially during the spawning season in early spring (March-April). Target submerged brush piles, fallen trees, and weed beds with jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber. As the water warms, crappie will move to deeper water near structure. Trolling small crankbaits or jigs can be effective for locating these schools. A local angler secret is to fish near the mouths of small creeks entering the Wolf River; these areas often hold concentrations of crappie. The crappie in this region tend to be a mix of black and white crappie, with some reaching impressive sizes. Be sure to check the local regulations for creel limits and size restrictions before you head out.
