Crappie Fishing Spots
There are numerous crappie fishing spots located twenty minutes to 3 hours from my home in Memphis Tennessee. Like I mentioned earlier on another page, the Midsouth area is blessed to have so many lakes to do some serious crappie fishing. The current record crappie was caught at Enid Lake in Mississippi.

Heading Out To Your Favorite Crappie Fishing Spots?
If at all possible, call or check with the
local Wildlife office to see what the Lake stages
are and if they are low (which they have
been for the past two years) to find out what boat ramp is
open to launch your boat.
Creel Limits and Size
Most lakes post what we call
creel limits and size. Stick to it
Mississippi this year has dropped crappie from
30 to 20 per person.
Tennessee last year came up with a law stating the Bass that you keep must be at least 15 inches long. I saw a Game Warden handing out tickets for fish that were too short and tickets for too many fish that were kept. I know that for a fact every crappie over 20 will cost you $150.00 per fish, and no, it was not me. Think Safety: Let Someone KnowA couple of thing to remember: If someone is not going with you, always let someone know where you are going and what time you should return. Fishing and Water Temperatures
Small lakes and ponds and lakes turn
faster than the big reservoirs do. What I mean is the
water temperature will warm up faster
and the fish will start bitting sooner.
Water temperatures do affect fishing: Crappie like 50 to 65 degree water, Bass are most active in 65 to 75 degree water, Bream 73 to 85 degree water, and Catfish like 68 to 90 degree water. Fishing Private Lakes and Ponds
If you find a lake in your area that is
owned by a land owner sometimes if you're real
nice and explain to him you would like to be
able to fish his lake in return for helping him
with the up keep of the lake they will let
you.
Ask him then if he wants you to
return the fish that you catch back
to the lake, or remove a few small ones for supper
that night, even go as far as to
offer the land owner if he would like some fish that
you catch and clean for him.
A little kindness can go along way. Always
respect his wishes and never leave
any trash when you're done and that includes fishing
line. I can not tell you how many
times I have walked around a lake and get all
tangled up in someone's mess that
they have left on the ground.
I carry a small kitchen
bag with me to pick up the trash as I
come up on it. Believe me, the land owner
will be watching you and that alone
impresses the land owner.
One rule to stick with
if he will give you a written permission slip that is for
you and you only to fish his lake,
don't show up with your whole neighborhood the next
day to fish.
