Crappie
If you're after crappie near Huntsville, Ohio, Indian Lake is your primary destination. This large lake is known for its healthy crappie population, offering anglers plenty of opportunities to catch these tasty panfish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time, as crappie congregate in shallow areas to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged structure, such as brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or tubes are highly effective. Summer can also be productive, but crappie tend to move to deeper water around submerged cover. A local tip: The areas around Pew Island and the numerous docks along the shoreline are known crappie hotspots. Be prepared for boat traffic, especially on weekends. The crappie in Indian Lake are generally of good size, with many reaching 10-12 inches. Consider using a slip bobber rig to present your bait at the correct depth.
