Crappie
Crappie fishing around Cumberland, Indiana, can be quite rewarding if you know where to look. The smaller lakes and ponds in the area, often overlooked by larger boaters, hold surprisingly good crappie populations. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Look for brush piles, submerged timber, and docks – these are crappie magnets. A simple jig and bobber setup with a minnow or small tube bait is a classic and effective technique. Fall is another productive time as crappie school up before winter. A local tip is to fish the ponds around local parks such as Community Sports Park, especially those with good shoreline access and structure. Keep your presentation slow and deliberate, as crappie can be finicky. The crappie in these smaller waters tend to run a bit smaller on average, but the sheer number of fish can make for an action-packed day.
