Crappie
Crappie fishing around Coleraine, MN, can be very rewarding if you know where to look. Several lakes in the area hold healthy populations of these tasty panfish. Pokegama Lake is a popular spot, but smaller, more secluded lakes often hold larger crappie due to less fishing pressure. Spring is the peak season, as crappies move into shallow bays to spawn when water temperatures reach the mid-60s. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and weed beds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are highly effective. In the summer, crappies tend to move deeper, suspending near structure. Using your electronics to locate schools is key. Local tip: Many anglers have success spider-rigging multiple rods with jigs at different depths. The Mississippi River also has backwater areas that can hold crappies.
