When white crappies reach a length of 12–15 centimetres (4.7–5.9 in), they are considered adult. The adults feed mainly on small fish such as minnows and young American shad, [14] and large invertebrates such as crayfish and hellgrammites. [13] [17] Their diet can vary depending on their location. They feed the most in June through October.
Both crappies have large mouths extending to below the eye, and thin lips—both suggestive of their piscivorous feeding habits. [6] [8] Crappies are typically about 4–8 inches (10–20 cm) long. The current all-tackle fishing world record for a black crappie is 2.47 kg (5 lb 7 oz). [9] The maximum length reported for a black crappie is 19.3 ...
They feed during dawn and dusk, by moving into open water or approaching the shore. [20] [21] Hybrid crappie (Pomoxis annularis × nigromaculatus) have been cultured and occur naturally. [22] The crossing of a black crappie female and white crappie male has better survival and growth rates among offspring than the reciprocal cross does. [22]

Water quality and clarity are excellent. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation has rated the lake as the best for bass fishing in the state. [17] The lake features 36 miles of shoreline. Fishing is permitted year-round for crappie, catfish, largemouth bass, white bass and bluegill.
They usually are found in clear water with vegetated surrounds and mud or sandy bottoms. Black crappies can grow up to 19.3 inches in length but are typically 10.8 inches in length. As juveniles black crappie will feed on zooplankton and crustaceans and insect larvae while when adults they will primarily feed on small fish. [25] LC
