Crappie weather is here

Crappie is a springtime favorite of Oklahoma anglers. These tasty fish can be caught near shore in great numbers during their spring spawn. Small soft plastic lures, hair jigs and live minnows are essential crappie fishing tackle. March through May is the peak window for bank anglers targeting crappie. Areas with hard bottom, standing timber and brushy cover are ideal habitats.
