Crappie
Crappie anglers visiting Burnsville, Minnesota, will find plenty of productive waters to explore. Crystal Lake is a popular spot, known for its healthy crappie population. The backwaters and slow-moving sections of the Minnesota River also hold crappie, especially around submerged timber and brush piles. Spring is prime time for crappie fishing as they move into shallow bays to spawn. Look for them in water depths of 4-8 feet near vegetation. A small jig tipped with a minnow suspended under a bobber is a classic and effective presentation. Another tip: During the heat of summer, crappie often move to deeper, cooler water near submerged structure. Try fishing near bridge pilings or sunken trees. The crappie in this region can be quite selective, so experiment with different jig colors and presentations until you find what they're biting.
