Crappie
Crappie anglers looking for a productive spot near the Twin Cities should consider Cambridge, Minnesota. Several lakes in the area, including Cambridge Lake and nearby Isanti County lakes, offer excellent crappie fishing. These lakes often feature abundant weed beds and submerged structure, providing ideal habitat for crappie. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is prime time to target crappie as they move into shallow bays and around docks. A local tip: use small jigs tipped with minnows or plastics under a slip bobber near weed edges or submerged timber. Another effective strategy is to fish near bridge pilings or other structures that attract crappie. Be mindful of local regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions, as they can vary from lake to lake. Expect to find a mix of black and white crappie, with some real slabs showing up from time to time!
