Crappie
If you're looking for some slab-sized crappie in central Ohio, Bairdstown offers some surprisingly good opportunities. Focus your efforts on nearby reservoirs like Alum Creek Lake and Delaware Lake. These lakes offer plenty of submerged structure, including standing timber and brush piles, which crappie love. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Use jigs or minnows under a bobber, and work them slowly around the structure. Early morning and late evening are typically the most productive times. A local tip: Alum Creek Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends. For a bit more solitude, try exploring some of the smaller coves and inlets on Delaware Lake. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate in these reservoirs, so check the latest conditions before you head out. The crappie here aren't particularly pressured, so you've got a good shot at landing some real beauties.
