RC K9 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 So my 4yr old caught this earlier this evening on a small spider man fishing pole. Thing had to be 20in. Woulda pulled him in had I not helped brace him. http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a461/RyanCorlew/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG3067_zpsklnt7bsu.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Been slammed with house project, but with the rain and sun mix today, I made some time to cast a few this evening. I just came in from the pond catching 7 large mouth bass in about 40 minutes. I'm pretty sure I caught the same one, three times in 2 minutes. He's the one in the first pic. I stocked 20 in his size this year. Good to see they are aggressive, hitting on that Mr Joshy chartreuse bait. The other pic is more like it. Maybe a little over a pound, but a fun fish to catch. Pic make him look like a huge fish next to my shoe. That's just the angle. He wasn't very big. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/E6B56735-BC96-403D-80F5-70CB8465A13E_zpshosztqjc.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/0210C6FC-CA1C-46B5-A786-2550852D5FA5_zpsynfqmyng.jpg finally trying those bigjoshy swimbaits??? fishing is starting to heat up.. get out and get fishing!

Mojoe Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 finally trying those bigjoshy swimbaits??? fishing is starting to heat up.. get out and get fishing! Yuuup. Caught another one this morning doing a quick lap around the pond. Really wanting the water to warm up a bit more to get the top water action hitting. Adding some copper sulfate this weekend to help with water quality and clear up some algae. Illegal in Cali, but every place else swears it's great in light use. Derek, here's what needs to happen. Next Thursday or Friday, you need to bring your gear to work, and swing out here and get my tires mounted and balanced for the FD. I'll trade off some fishing and can throw some burgers on if needed.

Chief8one Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Group of us went up to Fremont to hit the river... got skunked. The river was super murky/very high water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 What are some good places to go shore fishing in central Ohio? I haven't fished in 20 years and would like to get into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 What are some good places to go shore fishing in central Ohio? I haven't fished in 20 years and would like to get into it. Hit the spillway at alum. I don't know what you are fishing for but you can get saugey, bass, musky, and so on. Once you get a routine you can even move down the creek to find better fish. Joe, I saw you mentioned getting out on Alum for musky, when you are ready let me know. I have the boat, you bring the desire. I have been looking for an excuse to put the bass tackle away and go after the musky. My vote though is to skip alum and head to clear fork. It is only a few more minutes away from alum for me and now that it has warmed up it is harder on the musky to be taking them out of the deeper water. Clear fork is shallow all over.

Troll crankbaits (small hot-n-tot, shad rap 7, flicker shad/minnow 7) at idle speed 2/3mph put out 100 feet of line drive of the tips of points in the south pool you will catch muskies, saugeye, bass, crappie and catfish. try to go over the points in 9\12 feet of water with those crank baits.

Yeah now that they are pulling deeper I try not to catch them. Any of the die hard/educated musky guys will stop fishing alum shortly. It is horrible to pull them from deep water. It is just really hard on them when the water gets over 70. At clear fork they handle it a lot better due to it being shallow every where.

Why would you go and put something like that out there? Now that's all I'm going to be thinking about. Let me get the house stuff wrapped up and I will be taking you up on this. I'm good for where ever for location. I like shallows, but it plays hell on many boats. You're the guide. For now, I will throw a line while doing a lap or two around the pond, a couple days a week. I had a striper hit a bigjoshy hard as hell last week. It was about as textbook for fishing as it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 striper? in your pond? Added 30 of them to the pond about a year and a half ago. They won't reproduce. But, they are growing each year. This is one from last year. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/dsnowgod/64AED9BF-8909-4463-9251-E5B1A52F8017_zpsepnyn3rr.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny Utah Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Anyone fish Hargus lake? I have been going there for over 20 years. The past years though it's like it has been fished out. When I first started fishing Hargus we use to catch so many fish it was crazy. Now they are just not there anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 The hot weather has killed my evening fishing at the house. Morning fishing was huge hit this week with my Nephew in town. Several 3-5lb cats and some bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I've been fishing in FL, used a cast net to catch greenbacks for bait, use them and some shrimp to catch amberjack and sheepshead. In the backwater I use a Wal*Mart spoon to catch some sea trout and catfish. I've gotten my daughter into fishing...will have to get to Joe's pond this fall.

zeitgeist57 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Nice, Ben! A.J...I know definitely where you're talking, just never fished there. There are so many backwater spots I'm trying to get a feel of where my favorite places are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
