Crappie
If you're looking for crappie near Melrose, Ohio, focus your efforts on the area's smaller lakes and ponds. While the Auglaize River holds some crappie, the still waters are more productive. Spring, during the pre-spawn and spawn, is undoubtedly the best time. Look for crappie in shallow bays and near submerged brush or timber. Small jigs and minnows under a bobber are classic and effective presentations. Early morning and late evening are particularly good. A local tip: Many of the ponds in this area are relatively shallow, so pay attention to water clarity. If the water is clear, use lighter line and more natural-colored baits. If it's murky, brighter colors and heavier line will be more effective. The crappie in this region tend to run smaller, so consider downsizing your presentation if you're not getting bites.
