Crappie
Crappie enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy around Onsted, Michigan, thanks to the abundance of natural lakes in the Irish Hills region. Lakes like Wamplers, Vineyard, and Evans Lake are known for their crappie populations. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target these tasty panfish, as they move into shallow bays and canals to spawn. Look for them near submerged brush, docks, and other structure. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms are highly effective. As the water warms in the summer, crappie tend to move into deeper water, often suspending near submerged timber or weed lines. Use your electronics to locate these schools and adjust your presentation accordingly. A local tip: many of the local bait shops can provide up-to-date information on where the crappie are biting and what techniques are working best. Be aware of size and bag limits, as regulations can vary from lake to lake. These Irish Hills crappie are known for their good size, with many reaching 10-12 inches or more.
