Crappie
Finding crappie near Collingdale, PA, requires a bit of exploration, as there aren't any large, well-known crappie hotspots immediately within the borough. However, venturing out to nearby lakes and reservoirs in Delaware County can yield results. Focus on smaller, quieter bodies of water that may hold overlooked populations. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, when crappie move into shallow areas to spawn. Look for them around docks, submerged brush, and weed edges. A simple jig tipped with a minnow or a small tube bait suspended under a bobber is a classic presentation. Early morning and late afternoon are generally the most productive times. Check local regulations regarding access and permitted fishing areas, as many smaller ponds may have restrictions. A lightweight rod and reel will enhance your enjoyment when targeting these panfish.
