Crappie
If you're looking for crappie near South Dayton, New York, your best bet is to explore the smaller lakes and ponds in the surrounding area. While Lake Erie is the dominant body of water, crappie prefer the calmer waters of inland lakes. Spring and early summer are the peak times for crappie fishing, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Try targeting areas around docks, submerged trees, and weed beds with small jigs or live minnows under a bobber. Local Tip: Many of the smaller lakes are accessible from shore, but a small boat or kayak can greatly expand your fishing options. The crappie in this region tend to school tightly, so once you find one, you're likely to find more. Be patient and experiment with different depths until you locate the fish.
