Crappie
If you're chasing crappie near Willowick, head inland a bit to find suitable habitat. While Lake Erie itself isn't ideal for crappie, several smaller inland lakes and reservoirs within an hour's drive offer good crappie fishing. Punderson Lake and LaDue Reservoir are popular choices. Focus your efforts around submerged structure like fallen trees, brush piles, and docks. Spring is prime time for crappie as they move into shallow water to spawn. Use small jigs tipped with minnows or tube baits under a bobber, especially near structure. Summer can also be productive by fishing deeper water around structure. Fall sees crappie moving back towards deeper areas. Check local fishing reports for up-to-date information on crappie activity. A small boat or kayak can greatly improve your access to prime fishing spots. Remember to obtain the necessary fishing license and familiarize yourself with the regulations for each specific lake or reservoir. Many of these locations have boat ramps and shore fishing access, making them accessible to a variety of anglers.
