Crappie
Crappie fishing on Lake Fork near Emory, Texas, is incredibly popular, and for good reason. This lake is known for producing slab-sized crappie. The key to success is locating submerged timber, brush piles, and bridge pilings, as these provide excellent cover for crappie. Spring is prime time, as crappie move shallow to spawn. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits, and many anglers prefer to fish with a slip bobber to control their depth. During the summer and winter months, crappie often move deeper, so you'll need to adjust your tactics accordingly. A local tip: the Highway 154 bridge and the FM 515 bridge are known crappie hotspots. Be sure to check the TPWD regulations for creel and size limits. Also, consider using a fish finder to locate submerged structure and schools of crappie.
