Crappie
Funkley, Minnesota, offers some fantastic crappie fishing in its many smaller lakes and flowages connected to the larger Mississippi River system. These waters, often less pressured than the bigger lakes further south, hold good populations of black crappie. Spring is prime time, right after ice-out when the crappies move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them in areas with submerged timber or near docks and reeds. A small jig tipped with a minnow or plastic is deadly. Fall is another excellent time to target crappie as they school up before winter. Be aware that some access points are primitive, and a small boat or canoe can be advantageous for exploring some of the more secluded spots. Local tip: Check water clarity, as crappie fishing is best in stained or slightly murky water.
