North Carolina is home to a diverse array of fish species, but few are as sought after by anglers as the crappie. These popular game fish are found in many bodies of water throughout the state, including High Rock and Randleman Lakes. The crappie is a member of the sunfish family and can be identified by its distinctive black stripes along its body. They typically weigh between 1-2 pounds and are known for their delicious taste, making them a favorite among fishermen who enjoy both the thrill of catching fish and cooking up a tasty meal.
