Crappie

freshwater

Crappie enthusiasts near Davison, Michigan, will find their best bets in the area's smaller lakes and ponds, as well as Holloway Reservoir. These fish are known for their delicious taste and can provide fast action when you find them. Spring is the prime time for crappie fishing, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and weed beds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms are highly effective. In the summer and fall, crappie will often move to deeper water, so try fishing around submerged structure with the same baits. Holloway Reservoir can be productive around standing timber and submerged brush piles. Many smaller lakes and ponds have public access points, but be sure to check local regulations. A local tip: use a slip bobber to present your bait at the desired depth. The crappie population in these waters is generally healthy, offering good opportunities for both novice and experienced anglers.
