Crappie
Crappie fishing around Fort Worth can be a rewarding experience, especially if you know where to look. Eagle Mountain and Lake Worth are popular destinations, offering plenty of submerged structure where crappie congregate. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target them, as they move into shallow coves and around docks to spawn. Use jigs or minnows under a bobber, and focus your efforts near brush piles or submerged timber. During the summer months, crappie tend to move deeper, so try fishing near bridge pilings or submerged ledges. A practical tip is to check the local fishing reports for the most recent information on water levels and crappie activity. Also, be aware that crappie can be finicky, so experiment with different jig colors and retrieve speeds until you find what they're biting on. The crappie in these lakes are known for their good size, making for a tasty fish fry.
