Hey Cajun! Midland is a tough place to dig up a Crappie. JB Thomas (Big Spring) has limits of crappie in it, with lots of shoreline access...but almost all of the lakes around here are covered in flooded brush and I am not sure how well the shore fishing is. White River Reservoir (Southeast of Lubbock) has a lot of shoreline access as well as a crappie house. There is a good time to be had there. Right now people are doing decent there. Twin Buttes (San Angelo) should be good in February/March for the spawn. The lake has came up around 25-30ft vertical so -a lot of new cover for them to hide in.
I do not get on here very often but checked the forum and saw your post.
