Crappie
If you're seeking some panfish action near Nelliston, New York, the crappie fishing in the Mohawk River and its connected waters can be quite rewarding. These tasty fish congregate around submerged structure, such as fallen trees, docks, and weed beds. Spring is a prime time to target crappie as they move into shallow water to spawn, but they can be caught throughout the year. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms are highly effective, fished under a bobber or slowly retrieved. A local tip: focus your efforts in the slower-moving backwaters and canals off the main river channel. The Erie Canal, which runs parallel to the Mohawk, is also a great place to find crappie. Access points are available along Route 5S and at various boat launches. The crappie population in this area is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes, providing a fun and productive fishing experience for anglers of all skill levels.
