Crappie
Chasing crappie near Helena, Ohio means focusing on the Sandusky River and the many ponds and small lakes dotting the surrounding landscape. The Sandusky River offers opportunities around submerged structure, fallen trees, and bridge pilings. However, the smaller, often privately-owned ponds can be real gems for crappie fishing. Spring is, as always, the prime time, with crappie congregating in shallow, weedy areas to spawn. Small jigs tipped with minnows or waxworms, suspended under a bobber, are deadly. Early morning and late evening are usually the most productive times. Local tip: Many of the smaller ponds are on private property, so be sure to obtain permission before fishing. Also, pay attention to water clarity; if the water is murky, use brighter colored jigs or add a scent attractant.
