Crappie
If you're chasing crappie near Breckenridge, Michigan, you'll want to focus on the local lakes and slower-moving sections of the Pine River. These areas provide the ideal habitat crappie crave: submerged structure, weed beds, and relatively calm waters. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around docks, fallen trees, and brush piles in 4-8 feet of water. A simple jig tipped with a minnow or tube bait fished under a bobber is deadly. Fall can also be productive as crappie school up before winter. For access, try the public access points on the Pine River or explore some of the smaller lakes accessible from county roads. Be mindful of water levels, especially in the Pine River, as they can fluctuate. A local tip: pay attention to water clarity; crappie prefer slightly stained water. Clear water can spook them, so target areas with a bit of color.
