Crappie
Crappie fishing around Bergen, NY, can be a rewarding experience, especially if you know where to look. The key is to find areas with submerged structure, like fallen trees or weed beds, in the quieter backwaters of local creeks and ponds. Spring, as the water warms, brings crappie into the shallows to spawn, making them easier to target with small jigs and minnows under a bobber. Focus your efforts in the morning and evening for the best results. Consider exploring some of the smaller, less-known ponds in the surrounding area; these often hold good populations of crappie that don't see as much fishing pressure. Be mindful of private property when accessing these spots. A local tip: use a fish finder to locate submerged structure, even in shallow water, to pinpoint where the crappie are holding.
