Where do Spring Panfish Hangout?

What-s your favorite fish? Midwestern anglers have an incredibly diverse set of fishing opportunities at their fingertips. You name the target species, we've got'em in both size and numbers. If you love bass fishing, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas have some of North America's best smallmouth and largemouth fishing. Many of our hardcore anglers like to pursue the -glory fish- like walleye, musky, trout and salmon. What about the so called -rough fish- like sturgeon, carp, cats, dogs and sheep? Yeah, we have those, too! If you haven't fished 'em, you really should because they grow big and pull hard. Interestingly, crappie and sunfish, the smallest gamefish, are the favorites of many fisherman. Why? It might be because they are easy action and great table fare, or maybe it's because they were the gateway fish from our childhood. Regardless, panfish are extremely popular amongst today's anglers. Seasonal timing is important for catching any species of fish. Spring panfishing is fairly straightforward because the fish are predictably concentrated in shallow bays and channels. In other words, they-re relatively easy to find. With polarized sunglasses you-ll often see schools of panfish in shallow cover like wood, bulrushes and lily pad fields. This is primetime to get in on some great shore fishing action, too. Like all gamefish, panfish make dramatic seasonal movements. And to be a true panfish master, you must be willing to move with them. After spawning, both crappies and bluegills tend to move to main lake weed beds, where they remain for the majority of the summer. This is when good electronics are critical for finding and catching panfish. As water temperatures drop in fall, crappie start gathering in large schools around deepwater basins. Bluegill makes similar movements but tend to hold on weed edges into the cold-water period. In recent years, fisheries managers in many states are now implementing more special regulations and experimenting with size limits and lowering bag limits to maintain quality panfishing. As with all gamefish, but especially panfish, selective harvest is the key to maintaining quality fisheries for future generations

I only fish to keep fish for the freezer through the ice or prespawn. I don't pester fish on their beds ever. Late spring and summer Im way to busy to fish plus where I fish the poison ivy and wild parsnip is so thick you'd have to wade through it. I do specifically target panfish in those main 3 area's you mentioned in the beginning and I do very well. Great informative video.

The 2 lakes by me are huge bass factories one specifically has the 3rd largest state record and this lake holds tons of bull bluegills. We dont have a limit on size but you can keep 25 per person. And I feel they are unpressured lol

i agree with the harvest. in MI your allowed 25 per person per day. thats ridiculous. i've been teaching my son only take what you need. the other day we only took 6, but we caught alot more than that.

I know way to many people that think I bought my license I am entitled to every fish that license allows. That is why it is imperative that States adopt stricter regulations on panfish take.

Limiting pan fishing is retarded. Am I supposed to catch 5 fish (that provides enough food for not even one person) and then move lakes?
reply

Ben
If I couldn't keep more than 5 fish I wouldn't even bother. At least 10 should be limit anywhere except a desert water hole.
