Ok. I tried to post the fish pictures but it did not work. Operator error. Maybe someone can help?
Alum Indian and Hoover are my picks,,,could anybody tell me if Hoover is froze over or open?Great thread! Also, I'd like to know what everyone's top three saugeye lakes are in central Ohio.
I've been checking on opinions of Indian Lake and found a lot of disappointment this fall.
There were baitfish in the areas I was jigging. I caught a small white bass while jigging in a bait ball. I am guessing that is what they were, young of year white bass.Very nice fish. Are the fish hanging out under big schools of shad? I fish caesar creek and have been catching some real nice crappie using blades,jigging spoons and jigging raps fished under big schools of shad. Those smallies sure look like a lot of fun.Hope the weather stays nice .
30 feet has been the depth where the most fish have been the last few days at Alum. I have not figured out how to get them to bite consistently. I have caught fish each day but it is a grind. Lots of looking with the electronics. Losing baits to snags. That kind of thing. The warmer night helped get rid of more ice. There is still ice in the coves. The surface temp got almost to 40 today and then it got cloudy and windy. 7/8 oz. Jigging Raps are still working best for me. Bright colors.I was also at Alum on Sunday 12/22 with a buddy. Fished mainly 25-30 fow where we found decent marks. We were using jigging spoons, jigs, blade baits, Jigging Rapala and basically ice fishing. Caught a few different species in morning. Finally got a few saugeye at dusk. They were on bottom lock. Bite lasted 15 minutes then it was over.
I wonder why that isNormally you don’t see post for some until well after the bite is over.
That's a surprise for sure!Nice work! Caught these in 4 FOW off a rip rap today with a Joshy's. Surprised to find them in Alum! Marked some in 20-30 FOW but no takers jigging a vibe. Still - can't believe it's December! Anyone find any bass?

I have not been to buckeye in a while,but thinking about hitting it saterday nite after potentially chasing smallies.With the warmer weather there should be someone fishing Buckeye, Indian Lakes and other Central Ohio waters. Any reports ? Driving over the County Line bridge I could see that a lot of ice has left Hoover. A couple more days of warmer weather to go.
