Mini Jigs: Mini jigs are a go-to lure for panfish in Wisconsin. These small, colorful jigs imitate the natural prey of bluegill, crappie, and perch, making them irresistible targets. Experiment with different colors and patterns to match the preferences of the fish in your target area. Pair them with a slow and steady retrieve, and get ready for panfish action.
Soft plastic baits, such as tube baits and curly-tail grubs, are incredibly effective in fooling panfish. These lures mimic various aquatic insects and small baitfish, enticing bluegill, crappie, and perch to strike. Rig them on lightweight jig heads or fish them weightless under a bobber for optimal results.
Staying at a Wisconsin fishing resort with boat rentals? Inline spinners are versatile lures that can be productive for all three panfish species. The spinning blade creates flash and vibration, attracting the attention of nearby fish. Opt for smaller sizes with bright colors to entice bluegill, crappie, and perch to strike. Retrieve the lure at a steady pace or vary the speed to trigger more bites.
Crankbaits designed for panfish can be effective when fish are actively feeding. These lures imitate small baitfish or insects and can be worked through various depths of the water column. Experiment with different diving depths and colors to find what the panfish in your target area prefer.
With the right lures in your arsenal and the picturesque waters of Wisconsin’s lakes and rivers at your fingertips, panfish angling becomes an exhilarating and rewarding experience.
Whether you’re targeting bluegill, crappie, or perch, the key is to select lures that closely mimic their natural prey. Experiment with mini jigs, soft plastic baits, inline spinners, and crankbaits to entice these feisty panfish into striking.
