Black Crappie
Crappie anglers in Charlotte have several excellent options within a short drive. Lake Norman, the largest man-made lake in North Carolina, is a popular destination for crappie fishing. Mountain Island Lake is another good choice, offering a more intimate fishing experience. Both lakes feature plenty of structure, including docks, brush piles, and submerged timber, which provide ideal habitat for crappie. Spring is the prime time for crappie fishing, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Focus on areas near creek mouths and coves with plenty of cover. Minnows and jigs are the go-to baits. A local tip: Lake Norman can get crowded, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week or exploring less-traveled areas. The crappie population in these lakes is healthy, and anglers often catch good numbers of fish. Remember to check the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission website for regulations and licensing information.
