Crappie
If you're looking to fill your cooler with crappie, Dyersburg, Tennessee, should be on your radar. The Forked Deer River and the numerous sloughs and backwaters connected to the Mississippi River offer prime crappie habitat. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target them as they move shallow to spawn. Focus on submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and cypress knees in 2-6 feet of water. A simple jig under a bobber or a minnow on a small hook is often all you need. Local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. The Forked Deer can get muddy quickly after rain, so look for clearer water in the back channels and sloughs. The spillway at nearby Lake Isom National Wildlife Refuge can also be productive, but be sure to check refuge regulations before fishing there.
