Crappie
If crappie fishing is on your mind near Andover, Ohio, Pymatuning Lake should be at the top of your list. This expansive lake is renowned for its excellent crappie fishing. Spring is the peak season, as crappie congregate in shallow water to spawn near submerged brush and vegetation. Small jigs and minnows fished under a bobber are the go-to techniques. Summer and fall can also be productive, but you'll need to adjust your tactics and fish deeper, targeting submerged structure. A local tip: Check the local bait shops for the latest information on where the crappie are biting. They can provide valuable insights into water conditions and fish movements. Also, be mindful of the lake's regulations regarding boat speeds and fishing limits. Pymatuning boasts a healthy crappie population, and you can expect to catch both black and white crappie, with some reaching impressive sizes.
