I would have agreed several years ago but not now. Not sure how Lewisville and Lavon got left out. Oh and Roberts too.

I have had folks tell me that lake Mineral Wells is the 4th top rated lake in Texas for crappie. What lakes are considered numbers 1,2 and 3? The best crappie lake in Texas is the one that produced your latest limit of slabs. That may also be the same lake that skunked you a few days earlier. We can burn up the highways chasing the reports of huge crappie being caught at this lake or that, and that can be loads of fun and adventure. If it is consistent catches you're looking for, pay attention to the lake near you, learn it, fish it often, and you'll do well. Unless of course you don't know what you're doing....in that case keep on reading this forum and pay attention.  Fish On!!

I personally would not put Fork in the top 5, Good but not deserving of top 5.
Palestine
Toledo bend
Mineral Wells
Lavon
Texoma and not necessarily in this order

If you polled the amount of boats on the water targeting crappie right now, Pines would win.

I've never been to Toledo Bend but it's one I need get to one day. I also want to fish Caddo. I've heard of some monster crappie caught out there during spawn. Jigging Cypress Tree's in 3 and 4 foot of water sounds awesome...

If you spent enough time learning your lake it will turn out to be the best lake in Texas for you. It doesn't matter how few crappie other people catch on a lake, it only matters how many you can catch. And a major factor in that is how much time you spend learning that particular lake. JMHO.

We speak the same lingo ezgoing. We had a travel trailer on Texoma at Paw Paw Creek Resort many years ago. From the docks there we could fish in water from 6' to 25' deep. At any time of year we could find slabs under one of those docks. Having said that my best lake must be Texoma. Paw Paw Creek resort is no more, it was fun while it lasted though.

I caught the biggest on Palestine, the most on Richland Chambers and lots on Fork too, especially in the winter when they are stacked up like cord wood on the humps!
