Without a dependable size figure for Crabtree Lake, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Crabtree Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.
During a cool spring morning near scattered wood after a cold night, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a bright afternoon near a rocky edge with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near a rocky edge where food is present, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the first pass near a small drop away from empty shoreline, Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
During a careful second pass near a small drop beside useful cover, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During the final pass near the downwind side in stained water, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During the final pass near a quiet corner while the water is rising, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
