    Default Some good crappie fishing information


    Living in South central Pa. I feel somewhat limited to good crappie fishing in my area. I travel into the Williamsburg Va area and find some exciting action in late March and early April. A few spot yield 12 inch ( average) crappie for keepers. This does not happen every trip but there has been enough times for me to continue 2 or 3 traps a year. Looking for some Pa spots that are a little closer to home. I do not expect to be spoon feed and then spot burn your favorite spot but a little information to get started. Or PM me.
    I like small 1/6 and 1/32 ounce jigs with white or yellow kip tails. Also a few other colors work at times. Minnows always work especially in very cold water such as ice fishing. Do you have a favorite lure or bait?

    Thanks AD1974. That is about a hour and a half from me so it is doable even for a day trip. I go to Shepard Myers and that is a hour drive. The Pm was very kind and I will get back again when it gets a little warmer and my mind is thinking open water fishing.

    I'm in the same boat(sorry!) as addictedangler. I've pounded Marburg and Redman with not much to show for it. I did fish Octarora once last summer but of course it poured rain all day so while I got a couple they were dinks. Might have to head up to Blue Marsh this spring.

    We fished the breast at Pinchot a few weeks ago on the ice. Plenty of small blue gills but not one crappie. This morning I was in southern Va and fished for about a half hour at Rock-a-hock on the Chick. One decent crappie. It was 68 deg at daylight!
