Great job snowcone. Sorry to hear about the boots full of water, sure makes for some frigid digits. Still sounds like a good day on the river. If the Maumee calls me Nate, I'll be sure not to answer. I will wait to get out on Erie.

no problem 19 , im happy to share , i was at the rock because the grand was way to high, but its dropping nice now, and with this snow there should be more run off. i like it when the river goes up and starts dropping and reaches about 400 or so , on the rock. float spawn sacks, either 2 hooks or sack on top hook and pink bead a couple inches above bott hook. adjust depth according to speed of water so your ticking the bottom, use a few split shot to find drift speed . and hang on ...since i dont combat fish the maumee or freemont anymore steelies get me thru untill the boat floats  hehehe. get ahold of me im no expert but sure have fun. if i can help  pm  me you guys ...did you get any 19 when you were up?  i saw alot of fish caught the other day , but the water dropped and fish slowed down and more males now, need warm weather im loosing my mind not boating.. but its early

Ok I think I've had enough of this weather, come on mother nature one or the other. Either stay cold enough to ice fish or start to warm up for boat fishing.  Ugh so frustrating 😲
