Planning on Turtle Creek tomorrow or maybe Catawba. Anyone else going? Not hearing many positive reports but happy to share. Meerkat on ch79 or drop me a PM.
Not good is what I heard. Dirty water. Quite a few goose eggs. But cant catch them on the couch & it is supposed to be a decent day. Last time I was out (10 days ago!) iWindsurf totally missed the boat though...
Just received a report from three of my friends that have been at Turtle since Friday. All three are seasoned jig fishermen. Blanked on Friday. Unable to fish Saturday and blanked again today plus brutal conditions. Plenty of marks but fish had lockjaw.
Tough weekend! As stated above this week should really turn things around. Heard a conversation at the weigh ins yesterday that ODNR gill net sampling showed a high percentage of females holding eggs. That's interesting news to add to what has become a bizzare spring! Hope the weather gods smile on us for a while!!
For what it is worth, about 10 days ago we caught female hogs just east of Marblehead that were spawned out. I am certainly no expert but could it be a more spread out spawn than usual with some that have already dropped their eggs moving east?
If the don't drop eggs soon, they won't. Many fish will absorb the eggs rather than waste energy on a spawn if nature doesn't feel it will be successful.
1/4 mile north of cone reef we got our 4 man limit on Friday and on Sunday we got our 3 man limit. Trolling dhj 12's 75-100 back color glass clown and gold.
Hi just got back today from four days of camping at Turtlecreek Friday was no fish Saturday was a bust the wind finally laid down about 5:30 PM and we got out and fish for an hour with no fish . We got out early Sunday morning and fish for two hours before the weather got too rough no fish again . Today was pouring down rain so we never got a chance to get out .the water visibility in the western basin is about 1 inch . We had four people on our boat and we were jig fishing the whole time
Goes to show, no matter how bad conditions are, someone always catches fish. Nice haul.
