DFW

My son and I are new to crappie fishing. About 3 months now. Having a hard time and would like suggestions. Lake Arlington is where we fish most. We manage to get one or two each time but are having a hard time finding schools. Have a boat w/ Lowrance hook2 7 triple shot.

Arlington ain't much of a winter crappie lake best I can tell you....might go east some ....tawakoni maybe ?

mind you come late march Arlington should be about really good shallow

Thanks, I’ve been thinking about changing but Tawakoni may be a little rough for my small boat.

Welcome, I am new to crappie fishing as well. I live on Lake Tawakoni and am learning the lake as well. If you ever want to venture out shot me a message maybe we can learn together.

I’d love to go to Tawakoni it’s just too big for my boat. We tried Ray Robers a couple of times and if the wind blows we really get tossed around. I only have a 15’ flat bottom. It’s an 82 Bass tracker so it’s pretty unstable. I think for me I should stay on lakes 7000 acres or less.

So I’ve decided to change lakes. Any suggestions for DFW area? I guess I’m open to
Larger lakes as long as there’s a boat ramp close to good fishing. We have a small boat so we want to try to stay away from having to cut across the main part of the lake.

so, I think Lewisville. Any advice?

Just fish the 2 mile bridge at Tawakoni. I have a little 10ft Pelican and I fish 2 mile all the time. Heck you don't even have to fire up the big motor. Trolling motor only is fine. There is a ramp at the foot of each end of the bridge.

So Tawakoni is the place? If you’re good with a 10’ boat I guess we’ll be okay. Thank you

Thank you

Tawakoni under the two mile bridge right now. Fish slow and keep moving . Use minnows on slip cork and also jig at the same time. Have fun.

You’ll probably have to spend a decent amount of time searching Arlington right now, from past experience. The guys that know the lake/spots do alright though. Easier come spring as said above.

Try Lake Lavon. Especially near the dam or bridge pilings.

Twok has ramps on both sides of the 2 mile bridge. you can pick based on wind speed. Lewisville has allot of spots close to ramps just look at a goggle earth or Texas Parks and wildlife and you will be able to see many of them. Ketchum is right you have to move to different lakes to find fish some lakes are to shallow and hard to find biting fish. you may need to find feeder creeks and hit some of those areas. This time of year I look for lakes that have more than 20' of water.
