White Crappie
Pomoxis annularis
For white and black crappie, minimum length limit = 10 inches. Daily bag limit = 25 in any combination.
Identify your catch
Dark markings form vertical bars; usually six dorsal spines.
Habitat on Graham
Rocky shores, docks, standing timber and patches of aquatic vegetation provide varied cover.
Fishing approach
Lake guide guidance: TPWD suggests topwater lures, spinnerbaits and working docks for bass. White bass and hybrids use the channel linking Graham and Eddleman; warm-water discharge fishing depends on plant operation.
Fishing guidance describes documented approaches, not a promise of fish activity today.
No active lake-specific advisory or possession ban was named in the reviewed DSHS directory. This does not guarantee that fish are safe to eat.
Harvest permission and eating restrictions are separate.
General species guide
Lives in lakes and slow rivers; small fish and aquatic invertebrates form its diet.
