In southwest Ohio, the hybrids are on FIRE.......

Can you elaborate a little? Structure, baits, water temps, current conditions, time of day, etc., etc.

Any additional info you could provide would be helpful. I've not had much luck on the OR and a few tribs.

How about some pictures with that blaze.Thats is a big river a little info would be nice. Well MARKW6 you got our attention now give us the low down.:confused:

I admit his report is a LITTLE vague, but I got alot from it. I've been fishing the Big O for a couple of months in a very popular area and have two hybrids to show for it. Just hearing that the hybrids are on fire gives me some hope.

Yeah, I got something from it....the DTs :) I'm Jonesing for a good hybrid day, or two, or week... They're biting somewhere, just not where I normally fish. Only problem is that's a lot of types of water and even more bodies of water!

The Great Miami River is BLAZIN' right now. Any sand bar that drops from 6 inches into 4-5 feet are the target areas.... throw a Bill Norman (purple) up on the sand bar and bring your lure DOWN the drop off. The hybrids are stationed with their nose in the current waiting for shad to be swept over the edge. There are about 9 good drop off areas from the mouth to about 2.5 miles up.....pictures to follow.

That's what I'm talking about. Great report and thanks for the info.

10 days later and the hybrids have stopped in the GMR...fished 6 hrs. Sat. and only caught 15. Water temp. has dropped 7 degrees but still clear....shad every where but no action. I will try again Wed. and give another report....MARKW

Thanks for the update. I'm still holding out hope that they haven't went to winter holds in the OR. I had similar conditions on a creek near my house earlier this year and unfortunately it never did pick up :(
