Fished buckeye this afternoon. Place was packed. probably 50 to 60 huts up. Ice was clear 5.5" People were fishing all the way to Cranbury. I tried a new spot. I didn't like it. Caught 2 small saugeyes. Only fish I marked. 3.5' of water. Next time I will hit the deeper spot over by Cranberry. Saw one nice one caught around 4:30 guy said he had been there since 10:00 am and it was the only fish he caught.

Exactly what docks are these held on at Alum? I went there to check it out Tues. Nov. 22 PM. I put the 4000 address in my GPS but when it said I was there, there were no docks in sight so I kept going to the boat ramps and fished there. I noticed there were signs on the docks stating "no fishing from the docks" but I gave it a shot anyway. I fished from 3:45 to 6:30. 3 crappie, 2 shorts and a 10.5" all caught at dusk. Are these the docks the tournaments are held on? The Ranger drove by while I was there and said nothing. Please advised as I would like to come out this Sat. and fish the tourney maybe and I also don't want a ticket. Please advise. Thank you.

Has anyone checked Buckeye Ice yet? I was thinking of trying it Friday but don't want to drive an hour if we haven't got enough ice. Any info would be appreciated.

Thinking of hitting it one last time tomorrow. Has anyone been out? how is the ice holding up? was planning on heading out of Fairfield and going by the marsh. Just don't want to drive an hour and a half to find out I can't get on the ice. any reports would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well I've always heard about spikes. They are supposed to be good for pan fish right? I've never had them available at a bait shop around here. Two weeks ago my buddy invites me to Indian Lake. I check the reports. Spikes are out fishing the gills 4 to 1. So I stop at a bait store near Indian and guess what? They have spikes! So I buy 2 cups of red spikes. Never caught a fish. 1 bight I missed. 7 Gills caught between 9 guys. All gills caught by 3 guys on wax worms. So I go home. Take the spike cups out of my pocket and set them on the shelf above the coat rack for the next outing. I get home today and meet my wife at the door holding the fly swatter. She says, do you have any idea why I am being attacked by a poltergeist of big black flies? Ummmmmmm. DON'T LEAVE YOUR SPIKES IN THE HOUSE. Had to buy her flowers. Should have known.

Me and a few friends are thinking of coming down to Buckeye this Sat A.M. We have never been there before. From what I understand we should start a Fairfield beach and walk past the island. We will have to travel about 1.5 hours to get there and we are concerned about the ice quality.
Any information on the ice would be greatly appreciated. If it's sketchy we will fish closer to home.
Thanks Guys.

Got out on the ice for the first time this year today. Small half acre pond out side of Cardington. 4.5" of ice. 3" of clear on the bottom with 1.5" of cloudy on top. Caught 4 bass, biggest was pushing 3lbs and 1 channel about 4lbs. 6.5' of water (ponds not that deep) water clarity +3'. Fished about an hour. hope to hit it hard the next 3 days. I'll let you know how I do. Good luck and be safe!

Caught 8 bas (LMB) Sat. 4/12, 1:30 to 6:00 p.m and 5 on Sun. 4/13, 10:30 to 1:30 in East Harbor. Lost 2 and missed many others. Fish were 12 to 16" with 4 over 14" All caught in in a small camp ground marina by Tibbles Marina. This is the strangest place to fish. I have been fishing here a couple times a year for the last 25 years and we regularly do well now that we know the tricks. Here are the tricks. The marina walls are the straight steel type that go straight down into the water. We use 7' med/hvy rods with 10 to 20 lb braid. We just walk the edge and jig 1 to 2 feet away from the wall. When you get a bump set the hook and yank them up 3 or 4' on to the walk way. I caught these 13 fish on a yellow 1/32 marabou jig with a minnow hooked thru the head. (True) In the summer we use big tubes and punch them through the vegetation. give it a try. I know it sounds crazy but we have been doing it for years. Have fun and good luck!

Thought I would let everyone know I caught 6 bass 11" to 14" at a 2 acre farm pond south of Logan, Ohio. 5 bass were caught on crappie minnows fished 3' under a float. 1 bass was caught on a jointed floating Rapala. I was kind of surprised as the pond had ice on it last week. I missed as many as I caught and had 2 hooked that got off. I had 3 poles with minnows in the water from 1:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m on Friday 3/28/14 and never had a bite or lost a minnow. Go figure.

I fished a private quarry outside of Galion with 3 friends yesterday. 8" of ice about 2 foot visibity. 2nd time on this body of water this year. We kept 65 fish. mixed bag of gills 7-9" crappie 9-12" bass 11-12" and 1 channel cat about 5 lbs. Maybe another 30 smalls. Rapala minnows and raps, doll flies, pin mins tipped with wax worms. Had fun but the last time we were there we caught the same mixed bag but kept over 150 fish. How long will it be till we can ice fish in March again? I wasn't sure I was going to get to see the catfish. 4lb test and it took at least 4 good runs stripping line. Thinking about targeting catfish next time. Shrimp? liver? My walleye rigs? I don't eat them but boy was it fun! Hope you all got out yesterday. Let me know.

Fished a quarry outside of Galion today. I was with Mitch131 and 3 others. I brought home 21 bluegill and 12 crappies. My new used Vexilar proved it self again. I would imagine Mitch 131 left with 18 or more crappie. The fellow who brought us was with his son and doughtier He left with 50 crappies and 80 or so gills. What a day. Ice was 4" to 5 " thick. 14 to 17 fow clear water. I hope things get colder in the next week.
