Crappie
Crappie fishing around La Crosse, Indiana, offers a taste of classic Midwest angling. The smaller lakes and ponds dotting the landscape are home to decent populations of both black and white crappie. Spring is, without a doubt, the best time to target them, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Focus your efforts around any available cover, such as brush piles, submerged trees, and weed beds, in water depths of 4-8 feet. A simple jig tipped with a minnow or a small plastic grub fished under a bobber is a time-tested technique. Summer can be tougher, requiring you to fish deeper and around structure. Many of these smaller lakes have limited public access, so be sure to check regulations and obtain permission where necessary. A local tip: try fishing in the evening as the sun sets; crappie often become more active at dusk.
