Oklahoma Crappie moving shallow
Check out this week's fishing report from lakes across Oklahoma
and you
will soon detect a recurring theme.
"Crappie fishing good on jigs in shallow
water near brush."
The reports, compiled by Oklahoma Department
of Wildlife Conservation
personnel and other individuals, are singing a similar tune -
crappie
fishing is picking up. Crappie fishing is one of the most popular
fishing
opportunities available and the action is heating up across the
Sooner
State.
"This is certainly the time of year
when anglers begin catching crappie
in shallow water," said Barry Bolton, assistant fisheries
chief for the
Department.
According to Bolton, crappie can be found
moving into shallow water to
spawn once the water temperature reaches the upper 50s to lower
60s.
Crappie spawning generally takes place in water only 18 to 36
inches deep.
"The best place to fish for crappie
this time of year is around brush in
shallow water," Bolton added. "A small jig or minnow
is often very
effective and the nice thing is, you can be very successful fishing
from
shore."
