Crappie
If you're after crappie in north-central Ohio, Marseilles offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The area's numerous small lakes, ponds, and reservoirs, many of which are privately owned but accessible with permission, hold healthy populations of these panfish. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Focus your efforts around submerged structure like fallen trees, brush piles, and weed beds. A simple jig and bobber rig, tipped with a minnow or crappie nibble, is often all you need. Local tip: Check water clarity beforehand, as clarity can vary significantly between different locations after rain events. Also, be prepared for some bank fishing, as many of the best spots lack developed boat ramps – a lightweight kayak or canoe can be a great asset. The crappie here tend to run on the smaller side (8-10 inches), but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. Be sure to check Ohio's fishing regulations for size and bag limits before heading out.
