Crappie
If you're chasing crappie in southern Indiana, Elizabeth offers some under-the-radar opportunities. The Ohio River is the dominant feature, but smaller backwaters and tributaries near Elizabeth can hold surprisingly good populations of crappie. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallower areas to spawn. Focus your efforts in areas with submerged timber, brush piles, or around docks. Anglers should also explore the sloughs and slower-moving sections of the river. A local tip: The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) provides public access points along the Ohio River; check their website for specific locations near Elizabeth. Also, be mindful of river stage; fluctuating water levels can significantly impact crappie location and behavior. The crappie here aren't generally trophy-sized, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers, providing consistent action for anglers.
