Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing around Pantego can be quite rewarding, particularly in Joe Pool Lake and Lake Arlington. These lakes have plenty of submerged timber and brush piles that provide excellent habitat. Spring is peak season, as the crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Focus on areas near creek channels and coves in 5-10 feet of water. Small jigs or minnows fished under a bobber are the go-to presentations. Many anglers use spider rigging techniques from boats to cover more water. A practical tip: try fishing around bridge pilings and docks; crappie often congregate in these areas. Lake Arlington can get crowded, especially on weekends, so arrive early to secure your spot. Check the TPWD website for any specific regulations regarding crappie size and bag limits.
