Learn how to catch Crappie in a lake!

Step 1: Crappie

Crappie is one of the best tasting freshwater fish out there. They can be found in just about every state which means most people have the opportunity to target them. Generally, they'll be found in lakes. During the summer months they'll be deeper in the lake where it's cooler. However, another cool thing about Crappie is that during the winter when most fish "hibernate" crappie are still active which makes them a great fish to target during winter months.
