Crappie
If you're after crappie in the North Muskegon area, you'll want to set your sights on Muskegon Lake and White Lake. These connected bodies of water offer excellent crappie habitat. Spring is prime time, as the fish move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around docks, submerged brush, and weed beds. A simple minnow under a bobber is tough to beat, but small jigs can also be very effective. As the water warms in summer, crappie tend to move deeper, suspending around structure. Try using your electronics to locate schools of fish and then drop jigs or minnows down to them. A local tip: White Lake can be slightly less pressured than Muskegon Lake. The White River also feeds into White Lake and can be a great place to target crappie in the early spring as the water warms up. Public access is readily available at various parks and boat launches around both lakes.
