Crappie are a favorite for most anglers
because they are easy to catch and they taste
great. There are 2 types of crappies: black
and white. Black and white crappie share
most of the same waters, however, black
crappie are most abundant in northern lakes
that are cool with a gravel or sand bottom.
White crappie are most common in reservoirs,
lakes, and rivers. They tolerate darker water

than black crappie and they thrive in southern lakes with soft or hard
bottoms. Both species live in rivers and streams, however, black
crappie prefer calmer water and they also tolerate a higher salt
content, which is why they are common in estuaries. Crappies feed
heavily in the morning, evening and throughout the night. Most
crappie fishermen target these fish during their spawn because they
are easy to find and catch. During the summer, crappie will move out
to deeper water and they will be much harder to find and catch.

Most crappies are caught in the 6 to 9 inch range, however, much
bigger crappie are caught every year. In some southern lakes such as
Kentucky Lake, crappie in the 10 to 12 inch range are common with
many 14 to 15 inch fish caught and some as big as 18 inches.
