Crappie

Crappie fishing near Valders, Wisconsin, can be quite rewarding if you know where to look. Focus on the shallow, weedy bays and inlets of the local lakes and flowages. These areas provide excellent cover and food sources for crappie, particularly during the spring spawning season. Look for submerged brush piles, fallen trees, and docks, as crappie often congregate around these structures. Spring and fall are typically the best times to target crappie, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed. A practical tip: use a small jig tipped with a minnow or waxworm under a bobber, and adjust your depth until you find the fish. Also, be aware that some lakes in the area may have specific regulations regarding crappie size and bag limits, so be sure to check the Wisconsin DNR regulations before you go. The crappie here tend to be good sized, so get ready for some fun!
