Across the Sound in CT, I've had some pretty good days with crappie while bank fishing ponds and smaller lakes and reservoirs, as long as usual spots aren't frozen. Chain pickerel were very active and darting in on a stack of small bluegills just before this cold weather returned. Yellow perch are usually feeding on sunfish no bigger than 2" around drop offs and females are pregnant this time of year.
My #1 go-to light tackle lure for multi-species during the colder months is the Rapala Husky Jerk HJ-6. Yellow Perch, Glass Minnow, and Helsinki Shad are the top colors. Giving it 2 to 4 small twitches followed by pausing for 3 to 6 seconds after getting it down about a foot gets yellows and crappie to shoot up from a few feet down. Flipping it around structure and quick drop offs in warmer coves, spring-fed areas, and areas that get plenty of sun are the perfect spots.

[@AlanChenaqc]

Nice video.

[@brandondiaz831]

[@robertk28k29]

Nice James ..you tie bobber stopper Directly to the line and then you put ithe float on right after James?

[@jamesschlickoutdoors]

Yeah bobber stopper directly to the line, then i like to add a small bead to protect the knot, then the bobber👌

[@robertk28k29]

@@jamesschlickoutdoors Thanks for getting back to me I really appreciate it yeah I think the ones that I bought have that little bead already I have to double check

[@1879anthony]

What lake is that what town

[@CP-rp7yp]

nice job man!, heard they taste good but is it safe to eat them on li?

[@NYSeaNile]

Highly doubt they’re safe.

[@jamesschlickoutdoors]

Yeah i don't know if you want to really harvest any fish from our freshwater lakes, maybe only just the stocked trout after they been stocked since we know they were fresh from the hatchery. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@rossasgirl4841]

Is there a size limit on the perch and crappie?

[@jamesschlickoutdoors]

Crappie have to be 9" or bigger. Yellow perch no size limit

[@jasongalantucci8314]

I have a spot to catch 3 to 4lb crappies on long Island
