Got out early-had to put nav lights on-went to 38 fow a little east and nothing. Three boats there and we all left after an hour. Went to first 46 and was a lot better. It was howling for sure but we started catching perch- in little spurts- maybe 10 minutes then nothing. Sorted through smaller perch and a few sheeps and white bass. Took us 8 hours to get 2 decent limits with some big ones. It was just nice to get back on the water again. Not too many out there.

Way to go fishon 667. I've been dying to get back up to Conny from Cincinnati to perch fish again. I've read lately about the low water level. I launch at the Harbor. How is the water level for launching? Your advice is appreciated. Thank you.

I appreciate the help from all. Thank you. I've been reading a lot of the posts for the last several months and love the help everyone gives each other. I'm puzzled how I fished at Conny mid August and mid Sept and how the water level has gone down so quickly. It seems for the entire lake. I see reports for all the cities with the low water level. At first I thought it was just temporary with the wind direction at a specific area and the level would come back. Has all the cities drawing water from the lake made that big a difference??? Drought this past year??

If we don't get much snow this winter or rain in the spring it could stay bad. As this droughts really been going on for several years now. Not bad but consistently worse every year. Most ohio waterways are at a real low mark. Sure hope we can get some H2O in the ground.
