Crappie
Crappie anglers in the Spencer, Ohio area have some decent options, primarily in smaller lakes and ponds dotted around Medina County. While not a crappie mecca, these waters can provide enjoyable fishing, particularly during the spring spawn. Look for crappie around submerged structure like fallen trees, brush piles, and docks. Small jigs tipped with minnows or tubes are effective baits. Spring (April-May) is prime time, as the crappie move into the shallows to spawn. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Another good time to try is the fall, when crappie school up again before winter. A practical tip for the area: many of these ponds are privately owned or have limited access. Be sure to obtain permission before fishing on private property and check for any local regulations or restrictions. Also, a small kayak or canoe can be extremely helpful for reaching prime crappie-holding cover in some of these smaller waters.
