Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing near Cross Roads, Texas, centers around Lake Lewisville and Ray Roberts Lake. Both lakes offer ample habitat for crappie, including submerged timber, brush piles, and bridge pilings. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits, fished under a slip bobber or by tight-lining around structure. In the fall, crappie will often school up around deeper cover. On Lake Lewisville, try fishing near the Highway 380 bridge pilings or around brush piles in coves. On Ray Roberts, the heavily timbered areas can hold large numbers of crappie, but be prepared for some snagging. Crappie in these lakes are known for their good size, with many anglers reporting catches of fish over a pound. Local bait shops can provide up-to-date information on where the crappie are biting and what baits are working best.
