Crappie
Crappie enthusiasts will find some productive fishing opportunities around Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. The Madison chain of lakes (Mendota, Monona, Waubesa, Kegonsa) are popular choices, with plenty of submerged structure and weed beds that crappie love. Lake Waubesa, in particular, is known for its healthy crappie population. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around docks, brush piles, and weed edges in 5-10 feet of water. A simple jig tipped with a minnow or plastic grub is often all you need. In the fall, crappie will school up in deeper water near structure. A local tip: Fish cribs are marked on many lake maps and are always worth checking out. Public boat launches are plentiful, but parking can be limited on weekends. Crappie size can vary, but you can expect to find a mix of smaller and larger fish. Be sure to check the local regulations for size and bag limits before you head out.
