Crappie
Crappie fishing near Wrightsville revolves around the structure-rich waters of the Susquehanna River. Look for submerged timber, bridge pilings, and weed beds, as these areas provide ideal habitat for crappie. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is the most productive time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to reproduce. Early morning and late afternoon are generally the best times to fish. Consider launching from the Wrightsville Riverfront Park or the Susquehanna Riverlands for easy access to prime crappie habitat. Small jigs, minnows, and tube baits fished under a bobber are effective presentations. Pay attention to water depth, as crappie often suspend at different levels. Local anglers often find success by slowly trolling or drifting along weed lines. The crappie in this section of the Susquehanna tend to be good size, with some reaching upwards of 12 inches. Be patient and persistent, and you'll be rewarded with a tasty meal.
