8 white crappie and crappie fish caught while jigging, trolling, and using light tackle at Spencer Creek Campground

The sun rises over Oologah Lake. Our boat glides across calm waters. The air is crisp. Boyd casts his line. A tug. He reels in a black crappie. Its scales glisten in the morning light. We admire its sleek form. The fish measures 15 inches. A good catch. We continue fishing. The lake stretches before us. Birds call from the shore. Another bite. This time a white crappie. The day is young. More fish await.

The Pomoxis Nigromaculatus, commonly known as the black crappie, is a sought-after freshwater fish prized by anglers for its delicate, flaky white meat and sporting fight. These fish are characterized by their deep, laterally compressed bodies and distinctive black speckles scattered across their silvery-green sides. Black crappies typically inhabit clear, cool waters with abundant vegetation, making them well-suited to both natural lakes and man-made reservoirs. They are known for their schooling behavior, often found in groups near underwater structures like fallen trees or submerged brush piles. Anglers target black crappies using light tackle and small jigs or live bait, with spring being a particularly productive season as the fish move into shallower waters to spawn. The black crappie's popularity extends beyond its value as a game fish; it also plays a crucial role in many freshwater ecosystems as both predator and prey, helping to maintain a balanced aquatic environment.
