Crappie
Crappie fishing around La Crosse, Wisconsin, centers on the Mississippi River backwaters and associated lakes. These areas offer the ideal mix of shallow, weedy cover and deeper channels that crappie prefer. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them in areas with submerged brush, lily pads, and flooded timber. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are highly effective. The fall bite can also be productive as crappie school up before winter. Fish near deeper structure and channel edges. A popular access point is Lake Onalaska, easily accessible from several public boat launches. Be aware that the backwaters can be tricky to navigate, so use a good depth finder and be cautious of submerged obstacles. La Crosse area crappie are known for their good size, with many exceeding 12 inches.
