General Discussion / Beware the SPIKES! Save your marriage.
« on: March 06, 2015, 07:51:08 PM »
 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. :)

Candlewood is a private lake in a gated community outside of Mt. Gilead, Ohio. You have to own property or know someone who does to gain access. You may be able to fish the lake if you are staying at the campground but I am not sure. I live in Cardington and have fished it before when I knew people that had property there. It is a good fishery, Walleye, bass, gills, crappie and catfish.

Well we made it out. Arrived about 2 PM, fished till 6 PM. Ice was 6" where we drilled. Was 200 yards out past the island with the 2 houses a little to the left as you looked at the marsh. There was 4 of us fishing. I caught 13 saugeye (1 keeper) lost a few more at the hole missed a half dozen bites. Next best was 7 dink saugeye, 3rd was 2 dink saugeye and last was 2 catfish. Was fun. That was the first time at Buckey and the first time fishing for saugeye. If the ice holds up I'll be back.

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.

Wow that's good to hear. I haven't found any crappie yet around the Delaware area but I haven't had the boat out yet. What part of Oh is Nettle Lake in?

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!

Soft Water Fishing Reports / First softwater fish of 2014, 3/27/14
« on: March 29, 2014, 03:36:09 PM »
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.

Small Pond Reports / Galion, 1/1/14
« on: March 02, 2014, 05:38:18 PM »
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.
