Crappie
Crappie fishing near Schertz, Texas, can be quite rewarding if you know where to look. While Schertz itself lacks large, well-known crappie hotspots, nearby Canyon Lake is a solid option. The key to crappie fishing here is finding submerged structure. Look for brush piles, submerged trees, and docks in coves and along the main lake points. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target crappie, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. Try fishing under a slip bobber to present your bait at the right depth. A local tip is to invest in a good sonar unit to locate submerged structure and schools of crappie. Also, be aware that Canyon Lake can experience fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before you go. Remember to consult Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for size and bag limits on crappie.
