Clifford Automotive Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I like how you included your engine and size in your description. LOL Sorry I cant help you though, I hate fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Apple Valley is good but you have to be a property owner to put a boat on our lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I like how you included your engine and size in your description. LOL Sorry I cant help you though, I hate fishing. that way people can suggest waters to go on...ie, you can't go on hoover with anything over a 9.9hp, so knowing its a 115 would be too much to go out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Beard Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 +2 delaware has some pretty good spots when its not so friggin muddy, this rain has been killin my season out this year. missed out on a lot of crappy due to the bad weather. but there are a lot of good bass spots up river on delaware. that and buckeye lake has some good spots to hit up as well. id avoid indian lakes out of belfountain, its always shallow as hell and would not suggest any boats larger than a 25 hp unless you keep it on the north east side of the lake (because its so shallow). but if you ever want to go out some where and start go fishin hit me up, id be down.

spankis Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Griggs reservoir I've heard is one of the best bass lakes in Central Ohio. I don't speak from experience, but the president of the OSU Bass Fishing Club ( yes it's real and awesome ) told me this. I've also heard Alum Creek can be productive as well, but you need somebody familiar with the bottom structure to help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Beard Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 never been to griggs but ive heard good things, i thought that was a limited motor size resrvoir? alum creek is easy to learn, its better fishing if you go further north on the lake and follow the river channel up quite a ways. that or stay down close to the damn itself. ive always had better luck up north though.

RC K9 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Sorry man, I stick to small streams, boat does no good there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I don't believe Griggs is a limited horsepower lake, I've definitely seen plenty of wakeboard boats and 200hp outboard bass boats on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pointslow Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Get a small motor go to hoover.... ill take you fishing! My dad and i usually clean up when we go to hoover. Also lake hargas (sp?) is 45 min from here. Only trolling motors allowed, has some of the largest bass i have ever caught in ohio. Alumn is to recreational and over fished...

qwkgto Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I like how you included your engine and size in your description. LOL Sorry I cant help you though, I hate fishing. well that was done so some places have restriction on engine sizes you can run on the water..

qwkgto Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Apple Valley is good but you have to be a property owner to put a boat on our lake. I was there a few weeks ago ,I dont know anyone there otherwise the lake looks very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwkgto Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I guess ill just have to wing it after the water clears up usually anything on the Ohio natural resources site is overfished and overrated like Knox lake. I like river fishing thats where the fun is, that and smaller creeks are some of the best times Ive had for smallies,caught several a few weeks back that went over 2.5 lbs locally.

Clifford Automotive Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 well that was done so some places have restriction on engine sizes you can run on the water.. Yeah I didnt think about that until after I posted. Like I said I dont fish, so the waters I go on have no HP restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 just to add to this thread, i was up at hoover today fishing from the banks. hooked a nice bass, probably 17-18", jumped up out of the water, flopped around, and came off my hook. 2nd time this week ive hooked a decent sized bass and the mother fucker has flopped off. i guess i need to start setting that hook a little better.

cptn janks Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 i pulled this one out of darby near the confluence over memorial day http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs595.snc3/31346_10100183794990285_12409159_56296583_6994831_n.jpg ive caught lots of smallies in big walnut. the further down from hoover, the better IMO. ive had good luck between refugee rd and 270 bridge. also had some good luck near the dam at the water treatment plant. until some city workers kicked me out lol. its more of a wading trip than a boat trip though. at alum, ive had good luck near the marina on the southwest side. also had good luck at the top of the dam. caught a few nice catfish up there too.
