Crappie
Crappie fishing near Lamberton offers some solid opportunities in the various lakes and reservoirs within a short drive. Cottonwood Lake and Lake Shetek, while not directly adjacent to Lamberton, are popular choices. Spring is prime time, as crappies move into shallow bays and near structure to spawn. Look for submerged vegetation, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or plastics are highly effective. A local tip: pay attention to water temperature; crappies become more active as the water warms. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Also, consider using a slip bobber to suspend your bait at the desired depth. These lakes can get busy, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week if possible. The crappie populations in these lakes are generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes.
