Crappie

Crappie

freshwater

Crappie fishing around Oxford, Maryland, can be quite rewarding, particularly in the quieter freshwater tributaries of the Tred Avon River. These fish are ambush predators, so focus your efforts around structure like submerged trees, docks, and brush piles. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallower waters to spawn. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits, fished under a bobber or slowly retrieved. A local tip: try fishing around the pilings of the Route 33 bridge crossing the Tred Avon River, as these structures often hold good numbers of crappie. The crappie in this area tend to run a bit smaller than in some other regions, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Keep an eye on water clarity, as murky water can make it more difficult for crappie to find your bait. Be sure to check local regulations for size and creel limits before heading out.
