    I was out yesterday with Shatty trolling for saugeye around the damn and Essex Bay. We fished from sunrise until about 1 pm. We only got 4 keepers and a couple throwbacks but I got a bonus fish Ohio flathead.

    I just started getting back into fishing after a 15yr hiatus. Been to Buckeye 3 days in a row and have been shut down every time. Was using an Hj10 at the north shore the night it was snowing and slim was catching 11 eyes in 35 mins at Indian 😭 tried every retrieve I could think of. I even stuck...

    HI Folks: Chippewa lake in Medina County Ohio is stocked with (among others) Saugeye -- we were over there the other night and a guy had one he didnt want, which we took home and ate -- it was great, now we want to catch them :) I dont know much about them -- he caught it in shallow water on...

    Anyone have any tips on where I can get on some crappie or saugeyes from the shore? Or any species for that matter... I don’t have a boat so I’ve been fishing dinky ponds around Union and Delaware county as well as wading the Scioto, but I would like to change up species a bit. It just seems...

  7. Southwest Ohio Fishing Reports
    Was able to get the HJ dialed in right around dark and picked up 3 nice fish before losing my last of 2 HJ on a snag. While cleaning the biggest fish (21 1/2in) noticed how big it’s belly was for being that size, was worried about eggs but upon further inspection it was an 8in crappie, Or so me...

    My buddy caught this Friday night on a vibee on a ice fishing pole with 4lb test casting toward shore and then jigging close to the boat. Came in at 28" and a little over 9lbs. Biggest Saugeye I've ever seen.

    I'm going to camp this weekend at Tappan and I was wanting to eat some fish out of the lake. Does anyone know of fish to eat that are biting now. Also possibly what they are biting on?
  10. Central Ohio Fishing Reports
    I have caught some pretty nice saugeye in the spillway, but I never see posts about guys fishing out on the lake on a boat. Went up there for awhile this past week and struggled to find the saugeye. Anyone have any good areas to target? Not asking for that special spot, just a general area to...

    Crappie and saugeye bite was great. Crappie with size are in 6-12 ft of water. Small schools are up on the bank in brush piles. I'm not into catching 7" crappie or going through 50 in an attempt to get 15 keepers. I try to avoid that at all costs. Out of the 22 crappie I caught, I only had 3...

    Hey guys! Back at it again with another one. Met up with my father-in-law Tom Kirker over at Deer Creek Spillway. They released a bunch of water in the afternoon which churned the waters and shut down the bite pretty hard. We ended up catching 3 Saugeye. We saw several other fishermen slaying...

    So I've fished Cowan Lake and below the dam this year for a saugeye and haven't had any luck. I've been targeting saugeye since mid January with no luck. Today I went out and tried twister tail grubs, lipless crank baits, hair jigs and jerkbaits. I fished for about 10 hours and only managed to...

    Does anyone ever fish the Scioto around Chillicothe for saugeye? I've tried to fish the few accessible spots that I know of but no dice. Any info or tips would be awesome. I can officially say I have an addiction but can't seem to find the fix locally.
