Seasonal Activity Chart
Crappie
Groton Long Point offers some surprisingly good crappie fishing in its freshwater ponds and coves, especially if you know where to look. Unlike many larger Connecticut lakes, these smaller bodies of water warm up quickly in the spring, making for an earlier and more concentrated crappie spawn. Target shallow, weedy areas with submerged structure like fallen trees or docks during April and May for the best action. As the water warms further into summer, crappie will retreat to slightly deeper, cooler water near cover. Small jigs under a bobber, or live minnows, are always productive. A local tip: access to some of the best ponds requires a bit of a walk, so pack light and be prepared for some shoreline exploration. Remember to check local regulations regarding access and any potential fishing permits required for these smaller, sometimes overlooked, fishing spots. The crappie here aren't giants, but the peaceful setting and consistent action make for a pleasant day on the water.
