Crappie
If you're heading to Union City, Pennsylvania, for crappie, you're likely targeting the smaller lakes and reservoirs dotted around the area. While not a trophy crappie destination, these waters offer consistent action, especially in the spring and fall. Focus your efforts on Edinboro Lake and Lake Pleasant, both within a reasonable drive. Spring crappie fishing is excellent as the fish move into the shallows to spawn, usually around submerged timber and weed beds. Use small jigs under a bobber or minnows for the best results. In the fall, crappie will school up again as the water cools; look for them near deeper structure. A local tip: Edinboro Lake has several public access points, but be aware that it can get crowded on weekends. Consider fishing during the week for a more peaceful experience. The crappie here average 9-11 inches, so you're likely to catch a good number of pan-sized fish.
