      Lake of the Pines, Texas is one of the best wintertime crappie lakes in America. They love big baits at this lake. 3” baits and big ¼ lead heads during low light conditions (early morning and right before sunset). There are two lakes in the country where crappie hit the bait extremely hard, in my opinion (Pines and Lake Fork). The fish nose right up the standing timber in this lake, I’ve been catching on the timber during the winter months at Lake of The Pines for over 25 years. This is one reason I make the 8-hour drive down to this lake; I love catching them our of the standing timber. The black crappie always seems to be higher in the water column, usually down 10’ – 15’ where the big white crappie are down 16’ to the bottom. But still nosed up right on the timber. For me, Texas is the king of winter time crappie fishing!
