Crappie
Crappie fishing near Lindsey, Ohio, revolves around the Sandusky River and its associated backwaters and reservoirs. While not as famous as some southern crappie hotspots, the area offers a solid opportunity to catch these tasty panfish. Spring is peak season, as the crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Look for them around submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. Early morning and late afternoon are typically the most productive times. One accessible location is the Sandusky State Wildlife Area, where you can find various small ponds and backwater areas connected to the river. A local tip is to use minnows or small jigs suspended under a bobber. Pay close attention to the depth, as crappie often suspend at specific levels. The crappie in this region tend to be of decent size, with some reaching over a pound. Be prepared for some competition from other anglers, especially during the spring spawn.
