Crappie
Crappie fishing around Croswell, Michigan, can be quite rewarding if you know where to look. The key is finding structure in relatively calm water. Focus on the smaller inland lakes surrounding Croswell, particularly those with submerged brush, docks, or fallen trees. These areas provide excellent habitat for crappie to congregate. Spring, especially during the pre-spawn (April-May), is the best time to target them as they move into shallower waters near spawning grounds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms are highly effective. A local angler's secret? Try fishing near the old bridge pilings in the Black River where it widens just north of town; crappie often hold there. Also, be aware that crappie tend to school, so if you catch one, stick around – there are likely more nearby!
