Crappie fishing is very good at Smith Mountain Lake.

It's no secret, you just don't hear very much about it, because Striper and Bass are the main fishing fare. A few folks fish for Crappie on a regular basis, but they are few and far between.

All the docks and "laydowns' almost always hold the fish.

Lots of Crappie in the lake, and some good sized one's too (citation size). Thats the beauty of no fishing pressure for the Crappie, they are plentiful and they do get big....
