Crappie
If crappie are on your mind near Laconia, Indiana, head to the area's smaller lakes and ponds. These bodies of water, often overlooked, can hold surprisingly good populations of slab-sized crappie. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn around submerged brush and vegetation. Use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber near structure. Early morning and late afternoon are usually the most productive times. A local tip: many of the smaller lakes are best accessed by kayak or canoe, allowing you to quietly approach prime crappie holding areas. Look for crappie beds in shallow, protected coves. The crappie in this region tend to be wary, so use light line and subtle presentations. Remember to check Indiana fishing regulations for size and bag limits.
