Crappie
If you're after crappie in the Gonzales area, focus your attention on Lake Gonzales. This reservoir on the Guadalupe River provides a decent habitat for crappie, especially around submerged structure and bridge pilings. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move shallow to spawn. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. Anglers should also try targeting crappie in the fall as they begin schooling up in deeper water. A practical tip: the FM 2091 bridge crossing offers bank access, and you can often find crappie holding near the bridge pilings. Boat access is available at several points around the lake, but be aware that the lake can get crowded on weekends, especially during the spring spawn. The crappie in Lake Gonzales tend to run a bit smaller than in some other Texas lakes, but what they lack in size, they often make up for in numbers.
