Crappie
If you're looking for slab crappie near San Antonio, don't overlook Selma. While not directly on a massive lake, Selma provides easy access to several excellent crappie fisheries. Canyon Lake, just a short drive north, is a prime spot. Medina Lake to the west is another option, but be mindful of water levels which can fluctuate. Lake Dunlap, closer to Selma, is also worth exploring. Spring and fall are your peak seasons. During the spawn in early spring, focus on shallow coves and submerged timber with jigs or minnows under a bobber. As the water warms, crappie move deeper, so switch to deeper presentations around brush piles and structure. A local tip: check recent fishing reports for Canyon Lake before you head out, as the crappie can be very structure-oriented, and knowing where the hotspots are saves time. Also, be aware of boat traffic, especially on weekends.
