Crappie
If you're looking for some slab-sized crappie near Glenwillow, Ohio, you'll want to focus your efforts on the local reservoirs and smaller lakes. While Lake Erie gets all the attention for walleye, these smaller bodies of water can be crappie magnets. Spring is prime time, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged structure like fallen trees and brush piles in 4-8 feet of water. A small jig tipped with a minnow or tube bait is deadly. Another great time is in the fall as the water cools and the crappie start to feed heavily before winter. A local tip: Many of these smaller lakes have limited access. Check the ODNR website for public access points and boat ramp information before you go. Also, water clarity can vary greatly depending on rainfall, so be prepared to adjust your lure colors accordingly. Darker colors often work best in stained water.
