Crappie
If you're looking for slab crappie in the Tea, South Dakota area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the smaller lakes and ponds dotting the landscape. While not as well-known as some of the larger South Dakota fisheries, these smaller bodies of water can hold surprisingly good populations of crappie. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move shallow to spawn. Look for them in weedy bays and near submerged structure. Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive times. A small jig tipped with a minnow or waxworm is a classic and effective presentation. Many of these lakes lack boat ramps, so be prepared to fish from shore or use a kayak or canoe. Be sure to check local regulations for size and bag limits, as they can vary from lake to lake. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity; stained water often holds the best crappie.
