Crappie
For crappie fishing near Piermont, NY, focus on the sheltered coves and backwaters of the Hudson River and nearby lakes and ponds. These fish prefer calm waters with plenty of structure. The spring spawn is the absolute best time, when crappie move into shallow water to reproduce. Look for them around submerged brush, docks, and weed beds. A local's secret is to target the smaller, less-pressured ponds and lakes just outside of Piermont. A light action rod with 4-6 pound test line is ideal. Small jigs tipped with live minnows or tubes are extremely effective under a bobber. Crappie in this area tend to school tightly, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. The crappie population in this region can fluctuate, but anglers often find good numbers of fish in the 8-12 inch range. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits before you go.
