Anyone know if Clear fork or Charles Mill marina docks stay in and are allowed to be fished in the winter?  I have GOT to use my ice stuff successfully again this winter...

I fished CJ Brown marina docks yesterday from 11-4:30.  It was absolutely horrific.  I marked ONE fish that seemed spooked by my microjig and waxie.  I fished basically every dock in the marina and holehopped to numerous spots on each one.  It was incredibly frustrating, since I drove an hour from Columbus just to try out my Showdown troller 2.0 after getting it back from Marcum.

What a frustrating season.

Lee,
I am down in Columbus but if you hold onto this for me you can consider it sold as soon as I can get up to you.  My father in law lives in Salem and we will be up to spend Christmas Eve and the day before with him.  I might be able to get him to come grab it from you for me sooner.

Buckeye lake / Total garbage.

Don't waste your time going out of Fairfield.  I fished 8-5 today and caught one short saugeye and one 8 inch gill.
 
I moved a lot, drilled 40 or more holes, and had a marcum.  Marked very few fish by the marsh or in any water from 4-12 feet deep that I fished.

It was freaking abysmal.

The larger the transducer cone angle, the wider the sonar beam going to the bottom.  If you fish shallow water mostly, a wider cone will allow you to see more fish.  But in deeper water the wide cone may show you fish that are too far from your bait to be enticed by it. 

Also, figuring out the width of the cone at a given depth is one of the few examples where I know trigonometry has helped me outside the realm of pure science :)

I use a ducer with a 20 degree cone angle for water mostly 20 feet and shallower.   I would not want one much narrower for shallow water.

Indian Lake / Some help for a newbie?

Guys, not looking for specific spots but I would love to come up from columbus this weekend, and I am unfamiliar with the area and a little nervous about fishing a lake that big. Any areas of the lake you suggest I start looking in or areas to avoid? I would love to catch a few crappie perch or saugeyes. Convenient parking areas. If someone from up there wants to swap more specific info, I can put you onto a good bite at Buckeye lake via PM.

O'shaughnessy Reservoir / Re: Twin Lakes

Did we ever get a straight answer about the legality of ice fishing there?  It seems like it should be legal, but I know someone was contacting the DNR to look into it.

I was with fool4fish.  Definitely not what Spencer can be, but a fun afternoon to be out of the house.  We'll post if we try it again!
