Moving to Nacogdoches area

Hello, I am moving from Hot Springs Arkansas down to Nacogdoches next month. I have never been fishing in Texas, so what lakes in the area are crappie favorites? I am thinking about renting a guide just to get familiar with the lakes, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

will check around , think there is a good guy down that way , a younger fella with one a them there LS thingeez ....

Tyler is 1 hour away from Nac and Lake Palestine is a great lake for crappie. There are a couple smaller lakes there, Lake Nac and the other one I cannot begin to spell but phonetic spelling is something like Lake Nacaniti.

Thanks for the info. I am looking forward to tying it out.

you might ask Sk if he guides in your area , he is good folks for sure :cheers2

Hey there is a lake near Naq, but also close to Big Sam Rayburn and about 70 miles or a little less to Toledo Bend. I live on Toledo Bend at 6 Mile area.

Welcome to the area, I live just a little further south in Lufkin. Lots of good options which have been covered above. Lakes Nacogdoches and Naconiche will be your closest. Tons of standing timber at Naconiche. As far as crappie guides they are plentiful on the bigger lakes. I get around quite a bit but i'm still learning a lot about these waters myself.

Bet you will miss Ouachita!!

Thanks! I am going to be checking them out soon.

you hit some standing timber in the late morning when the sun makes some shade on some of the local waters down that way and you likely won't miss other water bodies near as much , just saying :cheers2
invest in a big straw hat before you go and thank me later ...

Welcome to Texas! The mighty Lone Star State as they say. I don’t live out that way, but glad to have you here.
