Crappie
Crappie fishing around Sulphur Springs, Texas, can be quite rewarding, especially in the numerous lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area. Lake Sulphur Springs is a popular destination, but don't overlook smaller, less-pressured bodies of water. Spring is undoubtedly the peak season, as the crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, brush piles, and docks. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits, and many anglers find success using a slip bobber rig to present their bait at the desired depth. A local tip: During the spawn, crappie often congregate in very shallow water, sometimes only a few feet deep. Use a long pole to reach these areas without spooking the fish. As the water warms in the summer, crappie tend to move deeper, so adjust your presentation accordingly.
