Crappie
Crappie anglers visiting the Texas Panhandle should set their sights on Lake Meredith and Lake Alan Henry. While other smaller lakes may hold crappie, these two offer the best combination of size and numbers. Spring and fall are the prime times to target crappie, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed before winter. Look for them around submerged timber, brush piles, and bridge pilings. Minnows are a classic crappie bait and are always a good starting point. Jigs, especially tube jigs and curly-tail grubs, are also very effective. Many anglers find success spider-rigging multiple rods with different jig colors and depths. A local tip: check with local bait shops for information on recent crappie hotspots. Be aware that fluctuating water levels can impact crappie location, so adapt your fishing strategy accordingly. The crappie in these Panhandle lakes tend to be relatively good-sized, with some reaching over two pounds. Remember to check the specific lake regulations for crappie size and creel limits.
