Crappie
Crappie fishing around Cedar Springs can be quite rewarding, particularly in the numerous inland lakes dotting the landscape. Look to lakes like Pickerel Lake and Sand Lake for slab-sized crappie. Spring is the best time to target them as they move into shallow bays and channels to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged brush, fallen trees, or docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms are highly effective. A local trick is to use a slip bobber rig to suspend your bait just above the cover. Many anglers find success fishing from shore, especially around public access points and parks. Another tip is to fish during the early morning or late evening hours when crappie are most active. The crappie in this region tend to school tightly, so once you find one, you're likely to find more.
