Crappie
If you're after crappie in southwest Ohio, Martinsville offers some decent freshwater opportunities, especially in the spring and fall. While there aren't any massive lakes nearby, Cowan Lake State Park, about a 20-minute drive, is a popular spot. Focus on submerged structure like fallen trees and brush piles, as the crappie tend to congregate there. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is prime time; look for them in the shallows near vegetation. Fall is also good as they feed up before winter. A local tip: Cowan Lake can get crowded, especially on weekends. Try fishing during the week or early mornings to avoid the crowds. Also, pay attention to water clarity – Cowan Lake can get murky after heavy rains, so check the conditions before you head out. Light tackle and small jigs are your best bet.
