Crappie
Crappie anglers, Put-in-Bay and the surrounding islands of Lake Erie offer some surprisingly good springtime action. While Lake Erie is known for its walleye, the sheltered bays and marinas around Put-in-Bay hold populations of crappie that can provide fast-paced fishing. The key is to target areas with submerged structure like docks, brush piles, and weed edges. Spring, specifically April and May, is the prime time as the crappie move shallow to spawn. A local's secret? Try fishing the canals around the island, especially those with docks and boat houses. Use light tackle and small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles. Be prepared to move around to find the concentrations of fish. The crappie in Put-in-Bay tend to be good-sized, and a day on the water can yield a tasty meal.
