Crappie
Crappie fishing near Odem, Texas, often means a trip to Lake Corpus Christi. While not as renowned for crappie as some other Texas lakes, Lake Corpus Christi still holds a decent population, offering anglers a chance to catch some tasty slabs. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, brush piles, and bridge pilings. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits, fished under a bobber or slow-trolled. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move shallow to spawn. Look for them in coves and along the edges of vegetation. Fall can also be productive as the water cools. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating submerged structure and schools of crappie. Be mindful of the wind conditions, as Lake Corpus Christi can get choppy. The Nueces River arm of the lake often provides more sheltered areas. Remember to consult the TPWD website for current fishing regulations.
