Hello,
I am new to this forum, but love crappie fishing, and am excited to have found it.

I lived at Longview for a few months, and caught a few crappie. I had better luck with catfish and large brim. The most consistent place I found to catch crappie was around the pylons of the bridge. Fish deep with minnows. Crickets work too oddly enough. Other than that, it was hit or miss for me fishing the tops. The locls there know the "spots", but are kinda stingy about telling where they are.
