Crappie
Crappie fishing near Geneva-on-the-Lake is best pursued in the inland lakes and reservoirs rather than Lake Erie itself. Harpersfield and Pymatuning Lake are two popular options within a short drive. These waters offer the submerged structure and vegetation that crappie prefer. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. Many areas offer boat rentals, but kayak fishing can also be very productive. A local tip: Pay attention to water clarity. Crappie prefer slightly stained water, so if the water is too clear, try fishing deeper or using darker-colored baits. Also, remember that crappie often school together, so if you catch one, there are likely more nearby. The crappie in these lakes are generally good-sized, providing excellent table fare.
