Crappie
For crappie enthusiasts, Marinette, Wisconsin, presents some excellent opportunities, particularly within the backwaters and sloughs of the Menominee River and its tributaries. The weedy, sheltered areas provide ideal habitat for crappie to thrive. Spring is the absolute best time to target crappie here, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, docks, and weed beds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are highly effective. Access to these areas can be found through various public access points along the river. If you have a small boat or kayak, you can explore the more secluded backwaters. A local tip: pay attention to water temperature, as crappie activity increases significantly when the water warms up. The crappie in Marinette are known for their good size and numbers, offering a rewarding fishing experience.
