Crappie
If you're looking for slab crappie in North Texas, Ravenna offers some excellent opportunities, particularly at Lake Bonham. This lake is known for its healthy crappie population and relatively clear water compared to other nearby reservoirs. The best time to target crappie here is during the pre-spawn in early spring (late February through April) when they move into shallower water to prepare for spawning. Look for them around submerged timber, brush piles, and docks in the coves. Another great time is during the fall when they school up again before winter. A local tip: minnows and jigs are your best bet, but pay attention to water clarity – sometimes brighter colors work better in stained water. Access to Lake Bonham is easy with several boat ramps around the lake, but be aware that it can get crowded on weekends during peak season. The crappie here tend to run a bit larger than average, so be prepared for some good fights!
