Crappie
If crappie is your target near Grapevine, Texas, Grapevine Lake offers a productive fishery. Look for them around submerged brush piles, docks, and standing timber, especially in the coves and creek channels. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is undoubtedly the best time, when crappie move into shallow water. Use small jigs or minnows under a bobber near these structures. In the fall, they school up again as water temperatures cool. A local hotspot is around the bridges and culverts. Be aware that Grapevine Lake can get windy, so check the weather forecast before heading out. Crappie in Grapevine Lake tend to be of decent size, and the population is healthy, making it a great spot for both novice and experienced crappie anglers.
