Crappie
Crappie fishing around Auburn, NY, is best pursued on Owasco Lake. This Finger Lake holds a healthy population of these panfish, offering anglers a chance at some fast action. Spring, particularly during the pre-spawn period in May, is the prime time to target Crappie, as they congregate in shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Look for them around docks, submerged brush, and weed edges. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are highly effective. Focus your efforts in the northern end of the lake, which tends to have more shallow, protected areas. Several boat launches provide access to the lake, but shoreline fishing can also be productive around docks and piers. The Crappie in Owasco Lake typically range from 8-12 inches, making for a tasty meal. Be sure to check the local regulations for creel limits and size restrictions before heading out.
