Crappie
Crappie fishing near Pottsboro, Texas, on Lake Texoma, is a popular pursuit, and for good reason. Texoma's numerous submerged brush piles, standing timber, and bridge pilings provide excellent habitat for crappie. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as crappie move shallow to spawn, but fall can also be productive as they begin to school up again before winter. A local tip is to focus on the submerged brush piles around the bridges and along the creek channels. Live minnows are a classic bait, but jigs in various colors can also be very effective. Try varying your presentation depth until you find where the fish are holding. Remember to be mindful of the wind, as it can make boat control challenging. Several marinas and boat ramps around the lake offer easy access. The crappie in Texoma are known for their good size, with many anglers catching fish over two pounds. Be sure to check the local fishing reports for current conditions and crappie activity.
