Crappie
While Auburn, Maine, might be better known for its trout and bass, crappie fishing can be surprisingly rewarding in certain locations. Several smaller ponds and backwaters connected to the Androscoggin River hold crappie populations. These fish are often overlooked, making for less pressured fishing opportunities. The best time to target crappie here is during the spring spawn, typically in May, when they move into shallower waters to reproduce. Focus your efforts around submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and weed beds. Look for warmer, sheltered areas in these ponds. A local tip: minnows are a reliable bait for crappie in this area, but small jigs can also be effective, especially when tipped with a waxworm or crappie nibble. Access can be a bit limited in some of these smaller ponds, so be prepared to do some exploring to find the best spots. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times to fish for crappie.
