Depends on the time of year.There are two species,the white and the black crappie.In spring,fish shallow water,4 to 6 feet deep,as that is the spawning period and the fish will be close to shore,around stumps,brushpiles and other cover.after the spawn,crappies form schools and move to deeper water.In summer,try fishing over submerged cover in 8 to 15 feet of water.As the water cools,crappie move into depths of 15 to 20 feet where they stay until the warm up in the spring brings them back into spawning areas again.Crappie can be caught in winter fishing deep with live minnows.

What is the best lake to go fishing in the US and how do you effectively catch fish in it?
Sardis Lake, located near Clayton, Oklahoma, has excellent large mouth bass, small mouth bass, catfish, spotted bass, striped bass, white bass, and walleye fishing. Bass and crappie fishing is very productive just about anywhere on this lake but is most productive on the bridge by the campsites using live whole minnows, not cut. Fishing is also good on the shore on the camp grounds using minnows or lures such as spinners and spoons in the early morning. Crappie jigs are effective for crappie at mid day fishing off the dock or off the shore. Twisters are partially effective for bass and crappie at daytime off the shore. Catfish fishing is great in early morning, noon, and night in murky waters in the lake. Use worms at night. Minnows prove very effective in the daytime. Be prepared and have good equipment because catfish here are big and heavy. Walleye fishing is good in the morning through noon using flies, worms, plastic worms, and twisters soaked in walleye attractant which can be bought at bass pro shops. It smells kind of like garlic. Fish for Walleyes off the shore near the camp grounds.
