Crappie
If Crappie are on your mind, Shawano, Wisconsin, offers some excellent opportunities, primarily on Shawano Lake. This lake's shallow, weedy bays and abundant submerged structure create ideal spawning and feeding grounds for Crappie. Spring, particularly during the pre-spawn and spawn (typically May-June), is the peak season. Look for Crappie in shallow bays near brush piles, submerged trees, or docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are the go-to bait. A slip bobber rig is perfect for presenting your bait at the right depth around structure. The lake's numerous public access points, including the Shawano Lake County Park, make it easy to get on the water. Shawano Lake Crappie tend to school tightly, so once you find them, you can often catch several in the same area. Keep an eye on your electronics to locate these schools. The Crappie population in Shawano Lake is healthy, with a good mix of sizes, offering anglers a chance to catch both numbers and quality fish.
