Crappie
Crappie anglers around Bowie, Maryland, will find success in the area's many lakes and reservoirs. Allen Pond Park is a popular local spot, offering accessible fishing from the bank and a pier. The best time to target crappie is during the spring spawn, when they move into shallower waters to reproduce. Look for them near submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs and minnows are effective baits. A local tip is to fish near the edges of weed beds as the water warms. As summer progresses, crappie tend to move to deeper water, so adjust your tactics accordingly. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits, as they can vary from park to park.
