Crappie
Crappie fishing around Mayville, North Dakota, offers a relaxing and rewarding experience. While you might not find huge slabs, the crappie in the local lakes and backwaters of the Red River are plentiful. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into shallower water to spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, weed beds, and docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms are the go-to baits. A local tactic involves slowly trolling or drifting these jigs around promising structure. Public access to some of these backwater areas can be limited, so scout around for accessible shorelines or consider using a small boat or kayak. The crappie in this region tend to school tightly, so once you find one, you're likely to find more. Keep a close eye on water clarity, as crappie prefer slightly stained water.
