Crappie
Crappie fishing around Rossford can be surprisingly productive, especially if you know where to look. While Lake Erie gets most of the attention, the backwaters and slower-moving areas of the Maumee River and its tributaries offer excellent crappie habitat. Spring is the peak season, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Look for areas with submerged brush, fallen trees, or docks. Minnows and small jigs are the go-to baits. The backwaters near Maumee Bay State Park are a good place to start your search. A key local tip: pay attention to water clarity. Crappie prefer slightly stained water, so areas with a bit of turbidity can be more productive. The crappie in this area tend to be relatively small, averaging 8-10 inches, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers. A day on the water can easily result in a good mess of fish for a tasty fish fry.
