Crappie
If you're looking for some Texas crappie action, Three Rivers offers some solid opportunities, particularly in the Nueces River and Choke Canyon Reservoir. The reservoir, about an hour's drive, is the real draw. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, timber, and creek channels. A simple minnow under a bobber is tough to beat, but small jigs in white, chartreuse, or black/chartreuse also produce well. Fall can also be productive as the water cools and crappie start to feed up for the winter. Local tip: check the lake level before you go, as water levels can fluctuate significantly. Also, be aware of the wind on Choke Canyon – it can pick up quickly and make boat control challenging. The crappie in Choke Canyon are known to grow to respectable sizes, so be prepared for some quality fillets!
