If you're after crappie, Blackduck, Minnesota is a great place to start. The numerous lakes in the area, including Blackduck Lake itself, hold healthy populations of these tasty panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappies, as they move into shallow bays and channels to spawn. Look for areas with submerged timber, brush piles, or weed beds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or plastic trailers are the go-to baits. As the water warms, crappies will move deeper, often suspending near structure. A local tip: many anglers have success using slip bobber rigs to target suspended crappies at various depths. Pay attention to your electronics to locate schools of fish. The crappies in this region tend to be good-sized, with many exceeding 10 inches. Be sure to check the Minnesota DNR regulations for specific creel limits on crappie.
