Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing around Pattison, Texas, centers on the quieter backwaters and sloughs connected to the Brazos River. These areas provide the calm, stained water that crappie prefer. Look for submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks – these are crappie magnets. Early spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the best time to target them, but you can find them year-round by adjusting your tactics. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits, fished under a bobber or slow-trolled. A local tip: many anglers have success fishing the deeper holes near creek mouths where they enter the Brazos or its backwaters. Pay attention to water clarity, as crappie tend to prefer slightly murky conditions. Be mindful of private property along the river; always obtain permission before accessing the water from private land.
