Crappie
Crappie fishing in Crosby, Minnesota, revolves around the area's numerous deep, clear pit lakes. These former iron ore mines now hold surprisingly healthy crappie populations. Serpent Lake is a popular destination, but don't be afraid to explore some of the smaller, less-known lakes. Spring is excellent for targeting crappies in the shallows during the spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, docks, and any available vegetation. Fall is another productive time as crappies school up before winter. A key local tip: use your electronics to locate suspended crappies, especially in deeper water during the summer months. Small jigs tipped with waxworms or crappie minnows are your best bet. Remember that these lakes can be deep and clear, so consider using lighter line and longer casts to avoid spooking the fish.
