Crappie
Finding crappie in Somerville, MA, requires a strategic approach. The Mystic River and its associated impoundments, such as the Upper and Lower Mystic Lakes, offer potential crappie habitat, though they are not known as premier crappie destinations. Focus on areas with submerged structure, like docks, bridge pilings, and weed beds, particularly in the shallower, protected coves. Spring is the prime time, as crappie move into these areas to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie tubes fished under a bobber are effective presentations. Access to the Mystic Lakes is available through various parks and boat ramps, but be prepared for competition from other anglers and recreational boaters. A local tip: target areas near inlets or tributaries, as these areas often hold warmer water and attract crappie early in the season. Also, fishing at dawn or dusk can increase your chances of success.
