Crappie
If you're after crappie in the Monon, Indiana area, look no further than the many small lakes and reservoirs that dot the landscape. These bodies of water, often overlooked, can hold surprisingly large populations of crappie. Springtime, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the peak season. Focus on shallow bays and areas with submerged brush or vegetation, as this is where the crappie will congregate to spawn. Minnows and small jigs suspended under a bobber are classic and effective crappie presentations. A local tip: try fishing around bridge pilings and docks, as these structures often provide cover and attract crappie. While some lakes have boat ramps, others may only be accessible by smaller boats or kayaks. Crappie in this region tend to be relatively good-sized, with the chance of landing some real slabs. Be prepared for some competition from other anglers, especially on weekends, but with a little persistence, you can find your own honey hole.
