Crappie
If you're looking for some slab-sided crappie action near Northfield, Ohio, you're in luck. Northeast Ohio boasts several excellent crappie fisheries, with many anglers focusing on the Cuyahoga River's backwaters and the smaller lakes and reservoirs scattered throughout the region. Spring is prime time, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for them around submerged timber, docks, and weed beds in the quieter areas of the Cuyahoga and its tributaries. Early morning and late evening often produce the best bites. A local tip: try using small jigs tipped with live minnows or crappie nibbles under a bobber. Many of the smaller lakes have limited access, so be sure to check local regulations and access points before heading out. Keep an eye on water clarity, as crappie can be sensitive to muddy water, especially after heavy rains. The crappie in this area are generally good-sized, offering a rewarding experience for anglers of all skill levels.
