Crappie
If crappie are your target, Westfield, Massachusetts, has some good options, particularly in the Hampton Ponds area. These ponds offer the shallow, weedy habitat that crappie thrive in. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them near submerged brush, docks, and lily pads. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are extremely effective. A slip bobber rig can help you present your bait at the right depth. Summer can also be productive, but the crappie will often move to deeper water during the day. Try fishing around submerged structure or weed edges. The crappie in Hampton Ponds aren't generally giants, but they are plentiful, providing a fun and accessible fishing experience. Access to the ponds is easy from the state park, and a boat or kayak will allow you to cover more ground.
