Crappie
Crappie fishing near Cayuga Heights is best pursued in the calmer waters of Cayuga Lake. While not as famous as some other species, the lake harbors a decent population of these panfish, especially around submerged structure and weed beds. Spring is the prime time as the water warms and crappie move shallow to spawn. Look for areas near docks, fallen trees, and weed lines in coves and bays. Minnows and small jigs are effective baits. A local tip is to check out the areas around the marina or the mouths of some of the smaller creeks entering the lake; these areas often hold good numbers of crappie. The Crappie in Cayuga Lake are not generally huge, but they are plentiful and make for a fun and tasty outing. Be sure to check the local regulations for size and bag limits.
