Crappie fishing near Kerrick, MN, centers around the smaller lakes and reservoirs scattered throughout Pine County. While not a trophy crappie destination, these waters offer consistent action and a chance to fill your freezer. Look to lakes like Pokegama Lake, and smaller unnamed bodies of water in the area. These are your best bets for finding decent populations of crappie. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie in this region. As the water warms, they move into shallow bays and near submerged structure to spawn. Use jigs tipped with minnows or small plastics under a bobber to target these fish. Focus on areas near reeds, docks, and fallen trees. A local tip: many of these smaller lakes have limited public access, so be sure to scout your locations ahead of time. Some may require a short walk to the shoreline. While the average size crappie is around 8-10 inches, you can occasionally find larger specimens exceeding 12 inches. Remember to check the current Minnesota fishing regulations for size and bag limits.
