Crappie
Crappie fishing around White Stone, Virginia, can be quite rewarding if you know where to look. Focus your efforts on the freshwater tributaries and creeks that feed into the Rappahannock River. These areas provide the ideal habitat for crappie, with plenty of submerged structure and shallow water. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into the shallows to spawn. Look for brush piles, fallen trees, and docks in these areas. A small jig or minnow suspended under a bobber is a classic and effective presentation. A local access point to consider is the public landing at Urbanna, giving you access to Urbanna Creek and the Rappahannock. The crappie in these waters are typically a mix of black and white crappie, with good numbers of fish in the 9-12 inch range.
