Crappie

Crappie

freshwater

Coopersville, Michigan, while not necessarily known as a crappie hotspot, offers some decent crappie fishing opportunities in its smaller lakes and backwaters. These fish tend to congregate around submerged structure, so look for fallen trees, docks, or weed beds. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn, but they can also be caught throughout the summer and fall. A small jig tipped with a minnow or wax worm is a classic and effective crappie presentation. A local tip is to focus your efforts in the early morning or late evening, when crappie are most active. Some of the smaller lakes near Coopersville offer shore access, though a small boat or kayak can significantly expand your fishing options. Be aware of potential regulations regarding size and bag limits for crappie in specific lakes, and consult the Michigan DNR fishing guide.
