Crappie
If you're after Crappie near San Antonio, the local lakes and rivers offer some great opportunities. Medina Lake, despite fluctuating water levels, can be a crappie haven when it's up. Look for submerged timber and brush piles, which these fish love to congregate around. Spring is the peak season as they move shallow to spawn, but fall can also be productive as they fatten up for winter. A local tactic is to use minnows or jigs under a slip bobber near bridge pilings or boat docks. Another option is Lake Calaveras, where the warmer water allows for a longer crappie season. Be mindful of wind conditions, as it can pick up quickly on these open lakes. The crappie in this region are generally good-sized, and you might even find yourself reeling in a few slab crappie if you know where to look.
