Crappie
Crappie fishing on Skaneateles Lake can be rewarding if you know where to look. These panfish tend to congregate around submerged structure and weed beds. The northern end of the lake, where there are more shallow, weedy areas, can be particularly productive. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the absolute best time to target crappie. Look for them in the shallows near docks and fallen trees. A local tip is to use a small jig tipped with a minnow or a crappie nibble. Fish it under a bobber near structure. Because Skaneateles is so clear, use light line. Crappie in Skaneateles Lake can reach impressive sizes, and they are known for their delicious flavor. Remember to check the local regulations regarding creel limits and size restrictions before you head out.
