How are the crappie biting on Fork right now? With the weather being so odd this year not sure where to start depth wise and such, but my father, father in law, brother, and I are headed out this weekend and I'm hoping someone can help. I appreciate any tips you can give.

I havnt been to fork in quite a while , but i have been several times in that past. At all times of the year. What i have found to find the crappie out there , just hit the bridges. go from pillar to pillar adjusting the depth your dropping to and also the depth of water your in. pay attention to your electronics. look for anything out of the ordinary that might hold fish. by doing that you will stumble on some good fish. i have found the biggest crappie under the highway 154 bridge.
Good luck

I would hit timber in 10 to 20 ft. Focus on bois de arc trees. Fish 10 to 15 ft down. I would use constantpursuitoutfitters thump buddies in the fishing farmer( blue and chartreuse)

I know how to identify them alive, but how do you identify them in the water?

they should have large tops and they weather well they wont look like sticks like most of the timber they are also called horse apple trees or an osage orange favorites of the native americans for bow material this is one of the ways they got here from Oklahoma but I hear the bridges are good right about now as well best of luck to ya

Very slow all day yesterday. Fished from 8 feet to 25. 13 fish in 8 hours with 4 anglers.
