Crappie
If you're looking for crappie near Pecan Gap, Texas, you'll want to focus on the numerous smaller lakes and ponds scattered throughout the region. These waters, often overlooked in favor of larger reservoirs, can hold some real slabs. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move shallow to spawn. Look for them around brush piles, submerged timber, and docks in relatively shallow water (4-8 feet). A simple jig tipped with a minnow is hard to beat. Another productive time is the fall, as the water cools and crappie begin to school up again before winter. A local tip: many of these smaller lakes are on private land, so always get permission before fishing. Also, pay attention to the water clarity – if it's muddy, try using brighter colored jigs to attract the crappie's attention. The crappie in this area tend to be good eaters, so don't be afraid to keep a few for a fish fry!
