Crappie
Southlake, Texas, offers some decent crappie fishing, particularly in the creeks and coves surrounding Grapevine Lake. While not a trophy crappie destination, it's a convenient spot for anglers in the DFW metroplex. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie as they move shallow to spawn, but fall can also be productive as they fatten up before winter. Focus on submerged timber, brush piles, and docks – crappie love structure. Minnows and jigs are classic crappie baits; experiment with colors to see what the fish are keying on. A popular access point is the Murrell Park boat ramp, which provides easy access to the main lake and its many coves. Be aware that Grapevine Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends, so plan your trip accordingly. Check local regulations for creel and size limits before heading out.
