Crappie
Crappie fishing around Sour Lake, Texas can be quite rewarding, especially if you know where to look. The key is to target structure in the freshwater lakes and reservoirs nearby. Lakes such as B.A. Steinhagen Lake or even smaller, local ponds hold populations of crappie. Spring is the classic time to fish for them as they move into the shallows to spawn, but fall can also be productive as they fatten up for winter. Look for submerged timber, brush piles, and creek channels. A simple jig tipped with a minnow, suspended under a bobber, is a highly effective presentation. For boat anglers, using your fish finder to locate submerged structure is crucial. Bank anglers can find success fishing around docks, piers, and any visible cover. Remember to check the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department regulations for creel and size limits before heading out.
