Crappie
If you're looking to hook into some crappie in the Burlington, PA area, you'll want to focus your efforts on the Susquehanna River and its nearby tributaries. This region offers a mix of slow-moving waters, back channels, and structure that crappie love. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them near submerged timber, brush piles, and weed beds. A small jig tipped with a minnow or a tube bait under a bobber is a classic and effective presentation. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. For bank access, try exploring the areas around public access points along the Susquehanna River, paying close attention to any visible structure. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out.
