Crappie
Crappie fishing around Brownstown, PA, can be quite rewarding, particularly in the many smaller lakes and ponds dotted throughout the countryside. Lake Donegal, again, is a prime location, offering plenty of submerged structure where crappie congregate. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is undoubtedly the best time to target them. Look for crappie near submerged trees, docks, and weed beds. Small jigs tipped with minnows or tubes are highly effective. Fishing under a bobber is a classic technique. The crappie here tend to run on the smaller side, but you can still find some slabs if you know where to look. Local knowledge is key; ask at local tackle shops for recent hotspots. Be mindful of water temperatures, as crappie tend to move deeper during warmer months. A fish finder can be invaluable for locating schools of crappie.
