I'm in PA, just below Binghamton. I fish Owasco and Cayuga quite often, but not for crappie. For crappie I usually go to Whitney Point, but they have a HP restriction there and no dock for a boat, just a gravel beach. Kind of hate taking my boat there for that reason. I just picked up a 15 foot Jon boat, so hopefully I'll get it setup for Whitney Point and other small waters. Last year I just got started fishing some PA waters for crappie, Cowanesque, Hammond, and Tioga lakes. They are south of Corning, NY in PA and are Army Corps reserviors. Where abouts are you fishing for crappie up your way?
