Crappie
Crappie fishing near Platteville can be found at Barr Lake State Park, offering a decent opportunity to target these panfish. Focus your efforts around submerged structure, such as brush piles, fallen trees, and weed edges. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the most productive time. Crappie congregate in shallow water to spawn, making them easier to target. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are effective baits. A local tip: Use a bobber to suspend your bait at the desired depth. Crappie tend to school up, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Barr Lake can get windy, so be prepared for potentially choppy conditions. The crappie in Barr Lake are generally of average size, but you can find some decent slabs if you put in the time. Remember to check park regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions.
