Crappie
If you're looking for crappie near Beaverton, Michigan, head to the impoundments like Secord Lake and Wixom Lake (partially refilled). These lakes offer excellent crappie habitat, with plenty of submerged timber, brush piles, and weed beds that the fish love to congregate around. Spring is the prime time for crappie fishing, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them near docks, brush piles, and weed edges. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are deadly effective. Summer can still be productive, but you'll need to target deeper water near submerged structure. A local tip: Many anglers have success fishing under docks and piers, especially during the heat of the day. The crappie population in these lakes is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes. Early morning and late evening are often the best times to fish, as the crappie tend to be more active during these periods. Be prepared for some competition from other anglers, especially during the spring spawning season.
