Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Crappie fishing around Mount Pleasant can be quite rewarding, particularly in the numerous small lakes and ponds scattered throughout the area. These smaller bodies of water often hold good populations of crappie, and they're less pressured than the larger rivers. Spring is the peak season, when crappie move shallow to spawn. Look for them around brush piles, submerged timber, and docks. A simple jig under a bobber is a reliable method. Minnows also work well. Local tip: Focus on areas with slightly stained water, as crappie tend to prefer these conditions. Many of these ponds are privately owned, so always seek permission before fishing. Also, check local regulations for creel limits and size restrictions, as they can vary from lake to lake.
