Crappie
Crappie fishing in Spring Lake, Michigan, can be incredibly rewarding, especially if you know where to look. This lake boasts a healthy crappie population that benefits from the ample cover and food sources. Spring is undoubtedly the prime time to target these tasty panfish as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around docks, submerged brush, and weed beds in the backwaters of the lake. A great local tip is to use a small jig suspended under a bobber near structure. Another productive area is near the mouth of the Grand River where it enters Spring Lake. Be mindful of the current in this area, as it can affect your presentation. Spring Lake crappie tend to be of decent size, with many fish exceeding 10 inches. During the summer months, they tend to move to deeper water near submerged structure, so adjust your tactics accordingly. Night fishing under lights near docks can also be productive during the summer.
