Crappie
Crappie fishing around Knox, Indiana, can be quite rewarding, especially in the area's many lakes and reservoirs. Bass Lake is a popular spot, but don't discount smaller bodies of water like Koontz Lake or even some of the larger farm ponds. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them around submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A valuable local tip is to use a slip bobber to present your bait at the correct depth, especially when fishing around structure. Also, pay attention to water clarity; crappie tend to prefer slightly stained water. The crappie in this region can be a mix of black and white crappie, and while they may not reach trophy sizes, you can certainly find plenty of fish for a good fish fry.
