There is a lake/pond near me that is filled with all sorts of panfish, crappies included.

 

They are very easy to catch in the spring. Right near shore. I literally jiggle a bare hook to get 'em. They like a fast presentation. You can put a twister tail on a jig and reel it in at lightening speed, chances are a crappie near shore will nail it.

 

Spring, near shore, and structure (weeds, sunken tree, drop-off). You'll get 'em easily.

Crappie will be found in almost any small lake or pond or any river with some depth to it. Do exactly as Salmo says however on days this is not working or if you prefer bait fishing, a small live minnow under a float will almost guarantee a crappie as that is what they are feeding on in the spring
