White Crappie
Tyler, Texas, is a great place to find some white crappie action, with several lakes in the area offering good fishing. Lake Tyler and Lake Palestine are two popular choices. These lakes have plenty of submerged timber, brush piles, and creek channels that hold crappie throughout the year. Spring is a particularly good time to fish for crappie as they move shallow to spawn. Try fishing around docks, brush piles, and submerged trees in the backs of coves. Small jigs or minnows fished under a bobber are effective techniques. Fall is another good time, as the crappie move back into deeper water near creek channels and structure. A local tip: Lake Palestine can get crowded on weekends, so consider fishing during the week if possible. Also, be aware of any fishing tournaments that might be taking place. The crappie in these lakes are known for their good size and numbers, making for a productive fishing trip.
