Crappie
If you're chasing crappie near New Waverly, Texas, you'll want to focus your attention on Lake Conroe. This large reservoir is known for its healthy crappie population, offering both black and white crappie. Spring is prime time, as the fish move shallow to spawn. Look for them in brush piles and around docks in the coves. Fall can also be productive as the water cools and crappie feed up before winter. A local tip: the FM 1097 bridge area is a popular spot. Use a depth finder to locate submerged structure and brush piles. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. Be aware that Lake Conroe can experience heavy boat traffic, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly. The crappie in Conroe tend to run on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. With the right approach, you can easily put together a nice mess for a fish fry.
