Fall Crappie fishing has kicked in throughout the Park Rapids area. Concentrate on the deeper muddy bottoms in the 19-25 ft range. Use an 1/8 oz jig tipped with a crappie minnow and keep a close eye on your electronics so you know how high off the bottom to keep the jig. Northern Pike can also be found chasing these crappies, Use a big sucker minnow on a live bait rig not far from the schooled crappies. Look for the walleyes to be schooling near deep water on steep drop-offs with shallow weeds near by. Just about any presentation will produce fish, but my favorite is a jigging Rapala.
