Crappie
If you're looking for a slab crappie, Miltona, Minnesota is a fantastic destination. The area is dotted with numerous lakes, but Lake Miltona itself is the star. Its diverse structure, including weed beds, rocky points, and submerged timber, provides ideal habitat for crappies throughout the year. Spring is prime time, as crappies move into the shallows to spawn, often congregating near docks and bulrushes. A small jig tipped with a minnow or plastic is deadly when presented under a bobber. As the water warms, they'll move deeper, relating to structure in the 10-15 foot range. Look for them suspended around submerged trees. Local tip: The north end of Lake Miltona, near the inlet, often holds good numbers of crappies. Be mindful of the wind, as it can pick up quickly on this large lake. Also, check the MN DNR website for any specific regulations or size limits.
