About Crappie
Pomoxis spp.. Covers both black crappie (P. nigromaculatus) and white crappie (P. annularis). Schooling panfish around brush, docks, and submerged timber. Spring pre-spawn is the prime season — small minnows and 1/16-oz jigs are the go-to.
Preferred water temp: 50–80°F (ideal 65°F). Preferred tide: either.
