Crappie
Crappie fishing near Elgin can be a rewarding experience, particularly in the smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the region. Although not a renowned crappie destination, these waters can hold decent populations of both black and white crappie. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the prime time to target them, as they move into shallow water near brush piles and submerged vegetation. Small jigs and minnows fished under a bobber are effective tactics. Many of the smaller lakes are privately owned, so securing permission is often necessary. Check local bait shops for information on public access points and recent fishing reports. The crappie in these smaller waters may not reach trophy sizes, but they are often plentiful, making for a fun and productive trip, especially for families. Remember to check Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for creel and size limits.
