Best big crappie lake?
Which lake, or lakes, if you had an all expense paid trip to use, would you go to for QUALITY crappie. I'm talking about 3lb+. Which lake do you feel would give you the best chance of catching one, or more. Here in the state of Texas only. I have a chance to go where ever I want for a crappie trip, with whatever guide service I want to use, anywhere in the state. I can fish my area lakes and catch all the 2lb and under that I can muster, but what I really want to do is go after that " wall hanger ", and want to know what lake ya'll would go to.

Put some more money in the deal and go to Grenada Lake or Arkabutla in Mississippi.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

Been to both. Don't like the crowds at LOP. I didn't think there was any water up in Huxley Bay with the lake being low like all the others here in Texas. What time of year? I will be doing this trip during the week, and 1 lake that I've already decided on is Palenstine.

Don'T rule out Lake Fork. While know for its BIG Bass, it also has some hefty slabs. We get reports - and pictures - of the catches made there. Here are some pictures of big and plentiful crappie caught on our "Live" Baby Shad on Fork

IMHO,
there is no lake in Texas that kicks out 3 lb fish with regularity or in any #'s. That I am aware of. Are there 3 lb crappie in Palestine ? YES , are there a lot ? NO
I have fished the lake for close to 30 years, 2.75 is as close as I have come. Only about half my fishing is for
crappie , I am by no means an expert.
Good luck

Hey Guys------I need a jig man advice----Who knows what is the color used at Wright Patman----Is their favorite jig type and color or is it just try all and see.
Many guys use jig poles or cast with rod & reel.
Today I saw a fisherman fishing a trench line in the lake and was catching them as fast as he threw his line in. I know he was using a jig---I never saw him put a minnow on his line.
I need to get better at jig fishing---Minnows are a bummer in the summer time.
Jigs is no problem---I have bought many, many.
I guess I need to narrow the jigs down to a few instead of a hundred.
Thanks in advance for any help.
