Crappie
Crappie fishing around Bisbee, North Dakota, can be quite rewarding if you know where to look. While not as abundant as in some southern states, Devils Lake and smaller impoundments in the area offer decent crappie populations. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallower bays and channels to spawn. Look for submerged timber, brush piles, and weed beds, as these provide cover and attract baitfish. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are a go-to presentation. A local tip is to use your electronics to locate schools of crappie suspended near structure. Pay attention to water clarity, as crappie tend to prefer slightly stained water. While you might not catch trophy-sized crappie consistently, you can often find good numbers of 10-12 inch fish, providing for a fun and productive day on the water. Access to Devils Lake is readily available through numerous boat ramps and public access points.
