Crappie
Crappie fishing near Presque Isle, Maine, revolves around finding the right habitat in the region's many small lakes and ponds. While not as renowned as some southern crappie hotspots, these waters hold respectable populations of both black and white crappie. The best time to target them is during the pre-spawn period in late spring (late May into June), when they move into shallow, weedy areas to prepare for spawning. Focus on waters with abundant submerged vegetation like lily pads or milfoil, as crappie use these areas for cover and feeding. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are very effective. A practical tip: many of these ponds are best accessed by canoe or kayak, so consider bringing one or renting locally. Also, pay attention to water clarity; crappie prefer slightly stained water. The crappie in this region tend to average around 8-10 inches, with occasional larger specimens, so you can expect a good fight. Check the Maine fishing regulations for the specific water you plan to fish, as some have special rules.
