Crappie
Crappie anglers near Sheffield, Ohio, will find some decent action in the inland lakes and reservoirs connected to Lake Erie. Consider heading to places like Findley State Park Lake or Oberlin Reservoir. These waters offer the structure and cover crappie prefer. Spring (April-May) is the absolute best time to target crappie, as they move into shallow areas to spawn. Look for them around submerged brush, fallen trees, and docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or tubes are the go-to baits. A local tip: use a bobber to suspend your bait at the right depth, especially when fishing around structure. Experiment with different depths until you find where the crappie are holding. Crappie in this region can reach good sizes, with many fish exceeding 10 inches.
