Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing near Antler, North Dakota, centers around the many smaller lakes and sloughs scattered throughout the region. These often-overlooked waters can hold surprisingly large populations of crappie, particularly in areas with submerged vegetation and woody structure. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Focus on areas with warmer water temperatures early in the season. As the water warms, they'll move to slightly deeper areas near cover. Fall is also excellent as crappie feed heavily to prepare for winter. Local tip: Many of these lakes have limited public access. Research township roads and right-of-ways carefully to ensure legal access. Also, be prepared for changing water levels, which can significantly impact fish location. The crappie in this area tend to run a bit smaller than in larger reservoirs, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Using small jigs tipped with live minnows or wax worms is a consistently effective tactic.
