Crappie
If you're heading to Buffalo, Texas, in search of crappie, you'll want to focus your efforts on Lake Limestone. This reservoir, formed by the damming of the upper Navasota River, is known for its healthy crappie population. Spring and fall are prime times, as the crappie move into shallower waters to spawn and feed. Look for them around submerged timber, brush piles, and bridge pilings. Local tip: the Old Union Road bridge area is a consistent producer. During the spawn, try using minnows or jigs under a slip bobber. Later in the year, focus on deeper structure with crankbaits or live bait rigs. The crappie here tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Be sure to check the lake levels before you go, as they can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall.
