Crappie
Crappie fishing around Hewitt, Minnesota, is a popular pastime, with several lakes and ponds offering excellent opportunities. These fish thrive in the weedy bays and near submerged timber. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the peak season, as crappies congregate in shallow water. Fall is also a good time, as they feed heavily before winter. A key to success is locating submerged structure or weed beds in relatively shallow water (8-12 feet). A local tactic is to use small jigs tipped with minnows or plastic trailers, suspended under a bobber. Many anglers find success fishing from docks or small boats. The crappie population in this region is generally healthy, with opportunities to catch both black and white crappies. Be mindful of size and bag limits, as crappie fishing can be quite productive.
