Crappie

If you're looking for crappie near South Glens Falls, consider exploring the quieter backwaters and ponds connected to the Hudson River. These areas often provide the shallow, weedy habitat that crappie prefer. Spring, particularly during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the best time to target them, as they congregate in these shallow areas. Look for submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. A local tip is to use small jigs or minnows suspended under a bobber. The crappie in this area can be somewhat nomadic, so be prepared to move around until you find a productive spot. Also, pay attention to the water temperature; crappie tend to be more active when the water is warmer. Consider checking out Saratoga Lake as well, as it has a decent crappie population. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and creel limits.
