Come on up to Westerville if you like--- low water at Hoover :G & high-high property taxes.

 

LOL just find ya a nice spot on walnut(or big walnut st) right inbetween the two..... You go a family? Id consider that over which area is best to fish in. If not, weeellll then go big or go home, move to lake erie!!!!

Good luck if whatever you decide!

 

Check property taxes! Have a friend that lives in that area and their prolperty taxes are between 5 and $600 a month!

For bike trails Alum has some really good ones from beginner to advanced. Lots of "family" space all over also.

Good Luck!

I don't always fish for Bass, but when I do, I prefer big'uns. Fish hard my friends....

 

Move to centerburg... They have rails to trails bike paths, Knox Lake just up the road, Apple Valley close by, Alum just a few minutes.. etc etc..

 

Thanks for the replies! I'm not too worried about property taxes because I cannot afford anything expensive. It's really problematic being an underemployed university graduate. Ohio State's webpage even stated their graduates with an economics degree typically earn $54,200 but that is just a dream. A family is not possessed either which is a relief after listening to the people within the office. They might never retire unless the lottery is won.

I've fished Alum Creek years ago but you almost need a boat. I've never fished Hoover or even seen the lake. Maybe I'll just stay within downtown Columbus and keep fishing the Olentangy River from my kayak. It's a crazy world and nobody can predict the future. Where ever I might preside there has to be good fishing though!

 

Hoover is an awesome lake for a kayak.

 

Anywhere up here is good if you don't care about the taxes! I live in Powell just south of Delaware I'm 5 minutes from O'Shay 2 minutes from access points on the Olentangy 20 minutes from Alum and 30 minutes from Hoover and Delaware lake. My suggestion is fish'um all then make up your mind

 

Since it sounds like you are on a budget, you can find some condos or apartments in northeast Columbus that will be within a few minutes of Hoover, 15 minutes to Campus area and 15 minutes to Alum. Look up around 161, Sunbury, and the Easton Area. Hoover is a good kayak lake and there area access points for kayaks all along the west side of the lake.
