Crappie
Crappie fishing around Xenia centers on the area's numerous small lakes and reservoirs, offering anglers a chance to hook into some tasty panfish. Caesar Creek Lake is a popular destination, providing ample habitat for crappie to thrive. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target these fish, as they move into shallow bays and coves to spawn. Look for brush piles, submerged timber, and weed beds in 5-10 feet of water. Small jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are deadly. A local's secret? Try fishing around the numerous boat docks and marinas on Caesar Creek; crappie often congregate under them for shade and protection. Remember to bring a long rod, as you may need to reach under docks or cast into tight spaces. Also, consider exploring some of the smaller, lesser-known lakes in the area, such as Cowan Lake, as they can often hold surprisingly large crappie populations with less fishing pressure.
