Harford County Crappie Fishing

[ajv5148]

This is my first winter in Maryland and  have came to accept the fact that there will probably be no safe ice in my area. So instead I guess I will have to pursue to them from shore, but I'm still learning the area. Does anyone have some tips on a place to catch a good amount of crappie, perch, etc in Harford or the surrounding counties? So far I've fished below the conowingo and off a few docks in Havre de Grace and Edgewood but I'm looking for a place much more reliable, like the honey holes I have back home. Anyone know anything about Joppatown Quarry? I appreciate the info, its harder than I thought to learn how to fish a new area so any bit of help is appreciated

Best thing to do is look for deep structure and narrow down your search as,u learn what they are schooled up on this time of year is very touch and go with then

Lots of spots around Conowingo lake

I fish J-town/Rumsey island and sometimes the quarry.  It is fairly dependable for crappie and other species in winter....however the recent fish kill involved that area, as I hear.  Another spot is Martin Lagoon, but to my dismay the entire cove is being dredged and closed.PCB's What can I say! Sad.

Broad creek is your best bet for Conowingo Crappie in winter, They improved the ramp there a bit, also.  All of these spots can freeze in a good year and are fished.
