Crappie
Crappie fishing near Pittsville, Maryland, can be quite rewarding, especially in the many small ponds and impoundments dotting the landscape. These often-overlooked waters hold surprisingly large populations of crappie. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the absolute best time to target them. Look for crappie around submerged structure such as brush piles, fallen trees, and docks in relatively shallow water (4-8 feet). Small jigs tipped with minnows or tube baits are deadly. A slip bobber rig is particularly effective for presenting your bait at the desired depth. While many ponds are private, the Pocomoke River offers public access and holds a healthy crappie population as well. The crappie in this area tend to be good-sized, with many exceeding a pound. A key tip: fish near bridge pilings or any other vertical structure, as crappie often congregate there. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of the fishery.
