Crappie
For crappie anglers near Kingsford Heights, the local lakes and reservoirs offer decent opportunities. Look to places like Stone Lake and Pine Lake for submerged structure and weed beds, which are prime crappie habitat. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Use small jigs tipped with minnows or tube baits under a bobber, fishing near brush piles, docks, and weed edges. A local tip: try fishing the shaded areas of docks and piers during the heat of the day. Also, be aware that crappie tend to school, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. While the crappie in this area may not be trophy-sized, they are plentiful and provide a fun and accessible fishing experience, especially for families.
