Crappie
For slab-sized crappie in Central Texas, Belton Lake near Belton is a worthwhile destination. This lake offers diverse crappie habitat, including submerged timber, bridge pilings, and brush piles. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move shallow to spawn. Target these areas with jigs or minnows under a slip bobber. Fall is another excellent time, as crappie school up near deeper structure. During the summer and winter, focus on submerged timber and brush piles in deeper water. A local tip is to use a fish finder to locate submerged structure and crappie schools. Several public access points and boat ramps are available around the lake, including those at Cedar Ridge Park and Overlook Park. Belton Lake is known for producing some hefty crappie, so be prepared for a good fight. Remember to check the Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for creel and size limits before your trip.
