Fall crappie fishing in Indiana's Lake Summit

Over the last few weeks I have been fishing at Lake Summit. The low water level was alarming as with most bodies of water here in Indiana. It seems that the water levels have drop dramatically this year and the temperature of the water is quite warm. Crappie season will be starting soon with fall coming on, the crappies I saw in lake Summit were of decent size. For the fisherman without a boat I recommend going to the fishing pier on the south side of lake. Just below the pier you will find some nice crappie's. According to locals the DNR dropped some Christmas trees under the pier and slightly to the north of the pier along the shore. So if your heading out crappie fishing soon in Indiana. Give it a few cold nights to cool the waters and checkout Lake Summit. Locals recommend a red headed, white bodied jig for crappies. I was able to pull some myself with a white bodied, chartreuse headed jig. Good luck and happy crappie fishing.
