Crappie
Crappie fishing around Marion, Ohio, can be quite rewarding, particularly in the numerous smaller lakes and reservoirs in the surrounding area. Marion Reservoir and Delaware Lake (a bit further drive) are popular choices. Spring is the prime time, as crappie move into shallow water to spawn. Focus on areas with submerged brush, docks, and weed beds, as these provide cover and attract crappie. Small jigs and minnows fished under a bobber are classic crappie presentations and highly effective. A local tip: try fishing around bridge pilings and submerged timber for some hidden hotspots. Public access is generally good, but check specific regulations for each body of water. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times, especially during the spawn. Consider using a fish finder to locate submerged structure and schools of crappie to increase your chances of success. Remember to practice selective harvesting to maintain a healthy crappie population.
