Crappie
Crappie fishing near Cresson, Texas, can be quite rewarding, especially if you know where to look. Lake Granbury is your best bet, offering plenty of submerged structure that crappie love. Target brush piles, submerged timber, and boat docks in the coves and creeks. Spring (March-May) and fall (October-November) are the peak seasons, as crappie move into shallower water to spawn or feed. Use jigs or minnows under a bobber, and experiment with different depths until you find the fish. A key local tip is to use your electronics to locate submerged structure. Many anglers have marked productive spots, and finding these hidden gems can significantly increase your catch rate. Also, be mindful of the wind; Granbury can get choppy, making boat control challenging. Numerous public boat ramps provide easy access to the lake.
