Crappie
Crappie fishing around Craig Beach, Ohio, centers on Berlin Lake, a productive reservoir for these tasty panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as the crappie congregate in the shallows to spawn. Target areas with submerged brush, fallen trees, and docks in the coves. Minnows suspended under a bobber are a classic and effective presentation. Small jigs in white, chartreuse, or pink can also be highly productive. A local hotspot is often near the bridges and causeways, where the structure provides cover. As the water warms in the summer, crappie tend to move deeper, so adjust your tactics accordingly. The crappie population in Berlin Lake is fairly consistent, offering anglers a reliable chance at a good catch. Boat access is available at several public ramps, but be mindful of boat traffic, especially on weekends. Don't forget your livewell!
