Crappie and perch

[gtijoe]

After 25 years I finally moved back to nj. New to the Mercer county area. Any suggestions on where I can find some crappie and perch?

I do not know of any places but it seems most ponds & lakes hold them in the area just got to find the underwater cover & fish around. Catch 1 & pound that area

perch are native i believe so you'll find them in most decent sized bodies of water (small ponds or bigger) that have any fish. most ice is gone now so you shouldn't have an issue. small jig under a bobber should do the trick near weeds or whatever.

Carnegie Lake used to be loaded with all kinds of panfish, been some years since I tried it but don’t see why they shouldn’t still be there. Plainsboro Pond too.
