MARDON — As the water temperature drops crappie begin to form large schools under and around the MarDon dock to gorge themselves on the minnows that have summered here. The MarDon Resort dock has been a destination for fall anglers for many years now. Last week our dock provided dozens of anglers with near limits of crappie daily. Targeting crappie off the dock can be tricky. Start tying on a 1/64 Trout Magnet jig head, then tip it with your choice of a silver and black Bobby Garland Baby Shad or a 1.5-inch Watermelon Pearl Berkley Gulp Minnow. This setup can be fished vertically, tight-lined or under a slip bobber. To access the MarDon dock, you must be a registered guest of the resort and have a dock pass.
