Crappie
If you're looking for some slab crappie in northwest Ohio, the area around Scott offers some decent opportunities, primarily in smaller lakes and reservoirs. While there aren't any huge, nationally-renowned crappie fisheries nearby, that means less pressure and more chance for a quiet day on the water. The best crappie fishing here typically occurs in the spring during the pre-spawn and spawn, when the fish move into shallower water near structure. Focus on areas with submerged timber, brush piles, or weed beds in reservoirs like Lake St. Marys (a bit of a drive, but worthwhile) or smaller local lakes. A good local tip is to use live minnows under a bobber, adjusting the depth until you find where the crappie are holding. Also, pay attention to water clarity. If the water is murky after a rain, switch to brighter colored jigs or lures to increase visibility. The crappie here aren't known for being exceptionally large, but you can find some keepers if you put in the time and locate the right habitat.
