Crappie
Crappie fishing near Highland, Indiana, is popular, with many anglers targeting these panfish in the region's lakes and reservoirs. Look to the larger bodies of water like Lake George and the smaller lakes within the county parks for the best action. Spring is the peak season, as crappie congregate in shallow water to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged structure, such as brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. A local's secret is to use a slip bobber rig with a minnow or small jig to target crappie suspended near these structures. Summer evenings can also be productive, especially around lighted docks. The crappie in this area tend to school tightly, so if you catch one, stay put and work the area thoroughly. Be aware of the daily bag limits and size restrictions, which can vary depending on the specific lake or reservoir. The average size crappie in this region is 8-10 inches, but larger fish are certainly possible.
