Crappie
Crappie anglers near Auburn Hills, Michigan, have several options within a short drive. Focus your efforts on the many small lakes and ponds scattered throughout Oakland County. These smaller, often overlooked bodies of water can hold surprisingly good crappie populations. Spring, as the water warms, is the peak season when crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and weed edges. A small minnow suspended under a bobber is a classic and effective technique. Alternatively, try small jigs in white, chartreuse, or pink. A key tip for this area: many of these lakes have limited access, so scout ahead for public access points or consider using a kayak or canoe to reach productive areas. Be mindful of private property boundaries. The crappie here are typically average size, but the sheer number of fish available makes for a fun and rewarding outing.
