Crappie
Crappie fishing in Dublin, Ohio, revolves primarily around the Griggs and O'Shaughnessy Reservoirs on the Scioto River. These reservoirs offer the submerged structure and vegetation that crappie thrive in. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them around submerged trees, brush piles, and docks in the coves. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A slip bobber rig is highly effective for presenting your bait at the right depth. As the water warms into summer, crappie will move to deeper water, often suspending near structure. Use your electronics to locate them. A local tip: the area near the bridge on O'Shaughnessy Reservoir is a known crappie hotspot. Also, remember that crappie tend to school, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. Be sure to check current Ohio fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
