Crappie

Crappie

freshwater

Charlestown, Maryland, offers some excellent crappie fishing opportunities in the freshwater reaches of the Susquehanna River and its tributaries. These fish thrive in areas with submerged structure, such as bridge pilings, fallen trees, and weed beds. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow areas to spawn. Use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber near likely spawning locations. During the summer months, crappie tend to move deeper, so try fishing around submerged structure in deeper channels and near the river bottom. The Northeast River is a popular spot, offering good access from several public boat ramps. Be mindful of boat traffic, especially on weekends, and consider fishing during the week for a more peaceful experience. Local tip: Vary your jig color and presentation to see what the crappie are biting on that day. A subtle change can make all the difference.
