Asked a few weeks ago about fishing for crappie at Caesar's Creek and no replies. Does anyone fish here for crappie? Wanting to give it a try and was just curious if this is a prime crappie spot. Hope to hear from some of you. I will give a report after this weekend.

It can be a tough lake in August and September for crappie. It's got both white and black; the lake can be very clear and the boat traffic can be terrible. I've heard it's the 2nd busiest lake in Ohio right after Alum and I believe it. Lots of standing timber and laydowns, but it's only fair at best for crappie.

Thanks for replying, even though it wasn't too encouraging.

I generally only fish Ceasars a few times a year at most. For the limited knowledge I have I do okay but others do much better.

As fished-out said it can be tough but it has some nice fish for those who take the time to learn it. The reason I don't go there too much isn't the fish but as fished-out pointed out, it's the boat traffic. If I were going to go, I would probably look around some open lake structure, humps and drop offs. I used to catch a few pretty nice crappies looking for the eyes a few years ago. I'd also look around some of the lakes shores for underwater brush down to maybe 18'-20', stuff not visible without electronics.

Good luck if you go and post some results on your trip.
