Crappie
Crappie fishing in Winthrop offers a surprisingly accessible and rewarding experience, especially in the town's various ponds and backwaters connected to the Mystic River. These panfish thrive in areas with submerged structure, such as fallen trees, weed beds, and docks. Spring is the absolute best time to target crappie as they move into shallow areas to spawn, often congregating near vegetation. Small jigs, minnows, or crappie nibbles fished under a bobber are highly effective. A local tip is to explore the coves and inlets of larger ponds, focusing on areas where the water is relatively calm and clear. Shore access is available at some locations, but a small boat or kayak will allow you to reach more productive spots. The crappie in these waters tend to be of average size, but the potential for catching a good number of fish makes it a worthwhile pursuit.
