Learn more about the species
Crappie
Crappie are the unsung heroes of our lakes, usually weighing in at a half-pound to a pound. These pan-sized fighters love to school up around brush piles and fallen trees in 5-15 feet of water. Spring is prime time when they move shallow to spawn, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Crappie are a blast on light tackle and make for some of the best eating around. Their flaky white meat is hard to beat. To fill your cooler, try using small jigs or live minnows under a slip bobber. One local tip: when you catch one, don't move. There's likely a whole school down there. Keep working the same spot and you might just have yourself a fish fry in the making.
Largemouth Bass
Largemouth bass are the rockstars of our local lakes, typically ranging from 1 to 5 pounds. These green-bodied predators love to hang out near submerged logs, weed beds, and drop-offs. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer mornings can be hot too. Bass put up a great fight, making them a favorite for anglers of all skill levels. They're also pretty tasty if you decide to keep one for dinner. To up your chances, try working a plastic worm slowly along the bottom near structure. One local trick: when the water's calm, look for subtle surface disturbances. That's often a bass picking off baitfish. Cast just beyond and retrieve through the area - you might just hook into a lunker.
