Crappie
If you're chasing crappie, Whitehall, Michigan, is a worthwhile destination, with White Lake being the focal point. White Lake's diverse structure, including submerged timber, docks, and weedy areas, creates ideal crappie habitat. Spring, particularly April and May, is the peak season when crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber near docks and fallen trees. Fishing around the White River channel can also be productive. A local tip: Crappie often suspend at specific depths, so use a depth finder to locate them. In the fall, as water temperatures cool, crappie will move back into deeper water near structure. The crappie in White Lake tend to be good-sized, and you'll often find both black and white crappie in the same areas.
