Crappie
If you're after crappie near Long Beach, Indiana, you'll want to explore the inland lakes and reservoirs a bit further south. While Lake Michigan isn't ideal for crappie, smaller bodies of water in LaPorte County can offer good fishing. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into shallower waters to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged timber, brush piles, or docks. Minnows and small jigs are your best bet. A local tip: Try fishing the edges of lily pads or weed beds with a slip bobber rig. Also, be mindful of water clarity, as crappie prefer slightly stained water. The crappie in this region are generally of good size, and a stringer full of slabs is definitely possible with the right approach.
