Crappie
If panfish are on your mind, Oconomowoc Lake offers some excellent Crappie fishing. This lake is known for its healthy crappie population, with good numbers of both black and white crappie. The best time to target them is during the pre-spawn in spring, when they move into the shallows near weed beds and submerged timber. Small jigs tipped with minnows or plastics are effective. Look for crappies suspended around docks and brush piles as well. During the summer months, crappies often move to deeper water near the thermocline, so use your electronics to locate them. A local tip: the northern end of the lake, with its numerous bays and inlets, tends to hold good concentrations of crappie. Be mindful of the no-wake zones, especially during peak boating season.
