Can anyone confirm whether the lake has any ice in the bays? Hoping to get a boat in tomorrow by the dam. I'd rather not break more than skim ice. Thanks!
Decided to head down, was a little nervous about the potential for ice in the bays. Saw lots of ice on lakes from Youngstown to Canton yesterday. Thankfully there wasn't any ice to break, lake was wide open. Launched at 8:30 by the dam and started catching fish as soon as I started trolling. Pulled probably 20-25 eyes total. Had a limit by 11 am and tried to cull out some of the smaller fish. Ended up with a nice mixed bag. 3 fish about 15 1/2", a 17", a 19" and a 24". Also caught a half dozen nice crappie too. All trolling leadcore with crankbaits. Day didn't end so well as I blew a bearing somewhere on the way home. Didn't notice it until I pulled in the drive. Gonna need a whole new hub for it.
Marina Ramps are not useable yet. They are just starting to fill it back up. It was down 8ft this year, 3 ft more than a normal winter drawdown. I believe Reynolds Road will be useable pretty soon. Haven't been to that end of the lake so I'm not sure how long it will be for the ramp there. I'm guessing another 2 weeks for the marina ramp.
DHower a good friend of mine was at Piedmont Monday and Tuesday and sent me a picture of a nice Saugeye pushing 25 I wonder if we are talking about the same buddy. His name is Jim and has a hunting cabin by clendening lake . He is not a member on here but he's been doing really good on the saugeyes at Piedmont.
Roosted i bet your talking about baker. I was down a few sundays ago with him we did alright and yes hes been doing very good. That guys a piemont wiz. He goes to canada fishin with us everyyear
DHower I figured it was Jimmy ! Jim and I went to school together and at one time had everybody in school thinking we were cousins cause we have the same last name . You better believe he's a wiz on Piedmont he's fished that lake for years . I use to fish Piedmont a lot with him until I moved to central Ohio but we still keep in touch .That's funny on the deer pic ! Lol
Yes it is. Hes the one that got me hooked on them lakes.
