Crappie
Crappie fishing near Wixom, Michigan, can be quite rewarding, especially if you know where to look. Kent Lake, part of the Huron River system, is a popular spot for targeting these panfish. Focus your efforts around submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Springtime, particularly during the pre-spawn (April-May), is when crappie congregate in shallower waters to prepare for spawning, making them easier to locate. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. Another good time is fall (September-October) when they school up again before winter. A practical tip: the Kent Lake boat launch at Kensington Metropark provides excellent access, but can get crowded, so arrive early. Also, try fishing near the dam, as crappie often hold in the deeper water there. The crappie population in Kent Lake is healthy, and you can find both black and white crappie. They aren't usually giants, but they are plentiful, making for a fun and productive day on the water.
