Crappie
Crappie fishing near Union, West Virginia, can be quite rewarding, especially in the area's smaller lakes and ponds. While there aren't any massive reservoirs immediately nearby, several smaller impoundments offer good crappie habitat. Focus on areas with submerged timber, brush piles, and weed beds. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallower water to spawn. A simple jig suspended under a bobber is a classic and effective technique. Minnows are also a reliable bait. Try local spots like private farm ponds (with permission, of course) or smaller public access lakes managed by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. Check their website for specific regulations and stocking information. A lightweight rod and reel will make for a more enjoyable experience when battling these panfish. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain healthy crappie populations.
