Night Fishing for Crappie
Pomme de Terre Lake - Hickory, MO
Anglers are finding success with black crappie this week! A recent evening trip yielded a solid catch in just about an hour, proving that the bite is active. Crappie are being caught in good numbers, with many anglers reporting "a nice mess of slabs."
For the best results, focus on brush piles, submerged timber, and drop-offs, as crappie are sticking to structure. Live minnows, jigs, and small plastics are producing steady action. Evening hours seem to be particularly productive, so plan for a sunset fishing session for a higher chance of landing quality crappie.
As water temperatures continue to shift, expect crappie to adjust their depths. Keep an eye on your electronics and adjust presentations accordingly.
Tight lines and happy fishing at Pomme de Terre!
