There is a very slim chance I will be headed out. More likely, I will be out tomorrow and Friday.

 

Not today Brian, however I am thinking about tomorrow. hop

 

Let me know I am thinking of heading out in the morning.

 

I think I'm going to wait until noon or so. Then it should be up around 18 degrees. Ha,ha. hop

 

Got to Buckeye today around noon. Went to the marsh and fished until 4p. One gill and one crappie Neither were keepers. Plenty of ice. Probably going to do some farm pond fishing this weekend. hop

 

Man Buckeye is probably going to be on fire at first ice out with the way they HAVEN'T been biting on the ice.Sorry to hear of your unfortunate luck.What did the water clarity look like?

 

Got enough bluegill and crappie to last until next winter, I'll be glad when this ice is GONE!!!

 

Hop after you left i drilled 2 more holes just west of the guys in front of you got 4 nice gills. Moved to there holes pulled 3 more out of those. but only hit when i was jigging on the drop.

 

Just wanted to get a feel and see how many people were going to go fishing Saturday was thinking about hitting it before we got out heat wave.

 

Brian, I went to a couple of farm ponds today in southeastern Ohio with a friend, and ended up with two bass and several keeper gills up to 9.5 inches. I love Buckeye, but those farm ponds can sure spoil you at times. Glad you got into them after I left. I might hit Buckeye at least once next week before the ice gets bad. hop

 

There was a 10lb.saugeye taken out of buckeye yesterday!!!!!they are hanging out
around the docks that are aireatted docks.

a 10 lb saugeye is pretty uncommon....i'd love to see pics of that one

 

Well, you just squeezed a whole lot of people into a very small area of fishable water, if it doesn't open up with this warm weather.

 

not only uncommon, but honeslty you could of picked a more believable lake than buckeye to brag about this 10 saugeye

 

In all sincerity there are 10 lb saueyes in Buckeye.My personal best was 10 lb 14 oz.There aren't a lot of them because they bite so well there,but there are some swimming around in there.Now is the best time to get them as they are pre spawn with eggs & chowing down for the chore.

 

Don't give them any help Puter!!
I'll report how we do tomorrow when I get home.

 

I know I'm talking too much,,,,,,,,,,,ZIP!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The one'hole that i know of is over by the yacht club i don't fish hard water or fish for "eyes"but i do keep my ears open at the tackel shop,i was told it was caught on a jig.

 

Fished the Marsh today from 8 till noon. This was the first time we have ice fished buckeye. I brought home 26 nice gills 3 crappies and 1 jumbo perch. Had a good time. 2 buddy were there yesterday and brought home 132 good gills

 

Don't stripers bite this time of year?i know that lake is full of them some in the 15 - 20 lb range.

 

The "stripers" are hybrids, more likely in the 3-8lb range. I'm sure there were plenty caught over 10 last year, but over 15 would be a very rare catch. State record currently is just over 17lbs. They won't wake up for a little bit yet.

 

I know their hybrids , and have caught a few in the lb.range you said,but you need to see the pic.of the one at bobs outdoor supply here in newark and you"ll see what i'm talken about,the guy that caught this one comes in about everyday and shoots the bs with all of us,he lives out at the lake down by capt.woodys bar.

 

Hey Puter, how can yuo talk too much? That's what the site is supposed to be about!
