Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing in Mansfield, Texas, centers around Joe Pool Lake, known for its healthy crappie population. The spring spawn is the most popular time, when crappie move into the shallows to reproduce. Focus on areas with submerged brush, standing timber, and boat docks in the coves. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits, fished under a slip bobber or by slowly trolling. During the summer months, crappie will move deeper, congregating around submerged structure and creek channels. Use your electronics to locate schools of fish. Lynn Creek Park offers good boat access and fish attractors. In the fall, as the water cools, crappie will move back into the shallows again. Joe Pool Lake is subject to fluctuating water levels, so be sure to check the lake conditions before you head out. Local tip: try fishing around the numerous bridge pilings for some surprisingly productive crappie action.
