Crappie
Bridgewater offers some decent crappie fishing in its various ponds and lakes, particularly in areas with abundant submerged structure. Lakes like Robbins Pond and Lake Nippenicket are known to hold crappie populations. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn (typically May), is the prime time to target these panfish, as they congregate in shallow, weedy areas. However, they can also be caught throughout the summer and fall by targeting deeper structure. Small jigs, tube baits, and live minnows are effective baits. A local tip: try fishing under docks and around fallen trees, as these areas provide cover for crappie. Also, be patient and experiment with different depths and presentations to find what the fish are biting on. The crappie in Bridgewater tend to be of a good size, with some reaching upwards of 12 inches. A light action rod and reel is recommended for a more enjoyable fishing experience. Remember to practice selective harvesting to ensure the sustainability of the crappie population.
