Crappie

Crappie

freshwater

Crappie fishing near Sheridan, Michigan, can be excellent in the numerous small lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area. These waters offer the shallow, weedy habitat crappie love. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie. Look for them in shallow bays and around submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms are highly effective. A slip bobber rig can be particularly useful for presenting your bait at the right depth. As the water warms in the summer, crappie often move to deeper water near weed edges or submerged structure. A useful local tip is to scout out potential fishing spots using a fish finder to locate submerged structure. Many of the lakes have public access points, but some may be private, so be sure to check before fishing. Crappie in this region often average 9-12 inches, with the potential for larger fish.
