We've got a crew heading up to Maumee, just north of perrysburg, for the walleye run this fri-sunday. Anyone else going to be there?

 

not this week...next week though....just read the report up there. Looks like the fishing is starting to heat up. You guys should have some luck it looks like.

Anyone on here fish with big joshy's www.bigjoshyswimbaits.com ?

 

I hear so many good things about them but keep procrastinating on ordering. I finally put in an order today. I bet the ponds would eat these up.

 

anyone that knows me knows i fish a ton and this is my goto lure for fish.. i always have one tied on a pole whether on the bank or in the boat. his color selection kills all other swimbait manufacturers. i have spent well over $200 on his swim baits. but when you catch 30 saugeye in a night on them or 25 small mouth, and fat suspended crappie digest em.. you cant put a price on days like those. i have a full 3700 box of them...

I remember reading a lot that you are very into fishing. I had thought for some reason that you didn't fish much for bass for some reason. If you do, or when you do, what is your go to bass colors?

Seldomly. When family or friends have been over, we fish, but I haven't done too many invites. Moved here last year and have been working on and trying to enjoy the pond. It went 7 years with no attention given to it. It had fish in it, but no quality aeration, muck control or food balance. This season should make a big difference to get things right. I have been doing all the planning for 6 weeks on building a solar powered aeration system with submersible pump. The stocking from last year, and now this year, I'm hoping to see a huge difference for activity in the pond next season.

 

That's cool. Hope things work our for you with the work you're doing.

hopefully! It's hard to plan this so far out with as many guys as we have but it looks like we got a little lucky & should have a good chance at getting some fish. Plus we'll be camping near bluegraass island so we can spend more time in the water.

 

We'll be running bottom bouncers with various colored floating jig heads..hopefully i can report back with what were having luck with.

ever stayed at the state park there? I think that's where we're going to camp at. I think there are 10 of us and 2 campers going so we'll be loaded down. What worries me is the state park with all the rules and BS that usually come with them.

I asked the same thing & apparently in the past years they've had no issues. People are there to fish at sunrise so I'd assume most are turning in before 11p. Hopefully, if we keep down the noise and dont have any obvious open containers, we should be ok.

So we got totally skunked at the walleye run d/t all the rain. The river was up EIGHT FEET & running twice as fast as it normally does. Bluegrass island was inaccessible and mostly under water & the high water fishing areas were flooded out too. Access was extremely limited but we were able to wade into one spot On the map the area between the between the foot path( that you can faintly see not the obvious white path) & river was flooded...in some spots too deep to wade. But it was all in vein. Nothing was biting & spent most of our time dodging big pieces of debris or re-tieing line. It was bad weather, nothing we could have done differently. Our fishing trip quickly turned into a camping trip. Friday was on & off rain all day & the wind was gusting up to 40mph. Saturday & Sunday were sunny, warm & generally beautiful.

I saw that the river had turned nasty for you guys. Sorry to hear that. What did the lake look like? You get a chance to go look at it? Looks like some rain early this week but nothing after Monday or Tuesday so that should give the river time to fall. We really won't even be in the river much I don't think. We'll be fishing the mouth of it from boats so the lake condition will be the most important. I'll have back up beer just in case. :D

Any one fish alum creek ?

 

I need to get my jetski out of storage up there and put the jet ski in the water on the docks for the summer and I have been too lazy to drive up to check if the lake is still frozen over not.

 

If you have been up there and maybe near the marina are the docks in yet? (long shot big figured ide ask)

alum lake is definitely thawed water temps are mid 40s right now...

 

 

on a side note after living here two weeks i finally hit the pond behind the house for a half hour with a slush 2.75 big joshy minnow and hit 5 short bass 11-13" and a crappie 12.5".. i'm excited about the population of bass but more excited about the crappie. next trip i'll be thowing something weedless i can work slower.. prolly a 3" tube and a jig and bobber for panfish

Got a handful of decent sized ones and several dozen small ones not even worth mentioning. These are just the ones that were worth noting. Spent a solid 6 hours yesterday.

nice, i've only had one bass in this pond around that size joe.. for flavor i've been adding some pet saugeye in there and hopefully thin out the dink blue gills.. its got a great population of dog food fed 8-9" gills right now and I think they kinda run the pond.. most the bass look anorexic and capped around the 12-14" range

I've been on a Musky hunt lately. Buddy and I have been hitting a hole where they are. He landed one yesterday. 42" 20 pounds

 

No need to hide that dam on alum creek in westerville that one guy posts videos of non stop, I only fished there once because it was overcrowded then, much less now being posted on ogf time after time.. glad I have a boat and 5 lakes within 45 minutes
