Crappie
Crappie fishing near Stonington is best found in the smaller freshwater ponds and lakes dotting the landscape. While not a crappie mecca, these waters offer a quiet alternative to the more crowded saltwater fishing options. Look for ponds associated with the Pachaug State Forest or smaller, unnamed bodies of water. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as crappie move into shallow bays and coves to spawn. Target areas with submerged brush, fallen trees, or docks using small jigs tipped with minnows or mealworms. A bobber can be your best friend, especially when fishing around structure. As the water warms, crappie will move deeper, so adjust your presentation accordingly. A useful tip: many of these ponds are best accessed by kayak or canoe, allowing you to explore the shoreline effectively. Be sure to check local regulations regarding boat access and fishing licenses. While trophy crappie are rare, these ponds offer a relaxing and potentially productive crappie fishing experience.
