Crappie
If slab-sized crappie are on your mind, Brookville Lake in Indiana should be on your radar. This large reservoir offers ample habitat for crappie to thrive, with submerged timber, standing dead trees, and plenty of brush piles that attract these tasty panfish. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them in the coves and along the creek channels as the water warms. A small jig tipped with a minnow, fished under a bobber, is a classic and effective presentation. Don't overlook the fall months either; crappie often school up near deeper structure as the water cools. A local tip: the area around the dam and the Highway 101 bridge are known crappie hotspots. Be aware that Brookville Lake can get crowded on weekends, so plan accordingly or try fishing during the week for a more peaceful experience. The crappie here tend to run a good size, with many exceeding the 10-inch mark.
