Crappie
Crappie fishing near Sheboygan, Wisconsin, centers around finding sheltered backwaters and areas with submerged structure. While Lake Michigan isn't the prime crappie location, nearby smaller lakes and impoundments, like those along the Mullet River, offer good opportunities. Look for areas with brush piles, fallen trees, and weed beds. Crappie tend to school up, so when you find one, you're likely to find more. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are classic crappie presentations. Spring and fall are the best times to target crappie, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed before winter. A local tip is to use a slip bobber to suspend your bait at the desired depth, especially when fishing around submerged structure. Be aware of water levels, as they can fluctuate and affect access to certain areas. Check local bait shops for the most up-to-date information on where the crappie are biting.
