Soft Water Fishing Reports / GMR 7/13
« on: July 15, 2015, 05:36:20 AM »
Finally got a chance to hit the river Monday afternoon. Caught 3 smallmouth and lost a few more fish I hooked. Biggest was about 16 inches. Of course now it's back up with all the rain the last 2 days so who knows when I'll get another chance. Sigh... Think I'm ready for ice fishing.

General Soft Water Discussions / Erie
« on: May 24, 2015, 06:00:13 AM »
Anyone have any recent reports from the big lake? Heading up wed for 5 days. We stay in port clinton and usually fish somewhere between put in bay and Kelly's this time of year. We troll a lot but if the casting bite is hot I'd much rather do that.

Soft Water Fishing Reports / crappie slowing down
« on: May 18, 2015, 03:25:24 PM »
Fished all weekend. Caught a dozen or so fri night at caesars plus a few saugeyes. Limited at paint solo on sat morning but I really had to work for them. A lot of the females were spawned out. Went  sun with a buddy and we fished all day all over the lake and ended up with 46. Obviously you can still catch em but I think the frenzy is over. Have about all the crappie I need for the year anyway. Plan to hit the Saugeye locally if I get a chance next weekend and then I leave for Erie for 5 days on the 27th. YAAAAAY!!! I CANT WAIT!!! Feel like I'm just talking to myself posting on here this time of year but maybe someone will read this and find it useful.

Soft Water Fishing Reports / paint creek 5/9 and 10
« on: May 10, 2015, 05:29:04 PM »
Still biding my time waiting for my erie trip making do with the crappies.  Limits by noon both days this weekend. Starting to get a few nice females but the majority are still males in the 9 1/2 to 10 1/2 range. Just about everywhere I've tried in the lake has produced.

Soft Water Fishing Reports / Rocky fork 5/2
« on: May 02, 2015, 09:51:37 PM »
Another limit at rocky this morning. Hit the water about 7 and was done by 11. Would have finished earlier but was releasing anything under 9 1/2. Nothing real big and none had eggs. Not sure if they were just all males or spawned out already. Seems a little early with all the cold weather we've had. Gonna try paint creek in the morning. See if I can find some size.

If anyone has a one man big enough for a 225 lb guy they want to get rid of I would be interested. Clam kenai would be preferable but I'd check out anything. Pm me

C.J. Brown / ice conditions?
« on: February 27, 2015, 06:04:27 PM »
Has anyone fished cj this week? Was curious about  the ice. I've never ice fished there and it sounds like the ice can be tricky. Sounds like the marina area is usually ok. How's the overlook area? Thanks

Rocky Fork / anyone ice fishing rocky?
« on: February 24, 2015, 06:43:57 PM »
Was curious if anyone ice fishes rocky and if so, what are the ice conditions? It's one of my fave open water lakes and now that I've taken up ice fishing, I'd like to give it a try if it's safe. Thanks

Pro's Pointers / lowrance elite -3x portable
« on: February 20, 2015, 11:43:51 PM »
I was wondering if anyone had ever used this unit.just getting into ice fishing and wanted some electronics but wasn't practical to spend the money (according to the wife) to get one of the high end units. Plus I wanted a fish finder for my canoe and I figured this would do the job for both. Took it out to indian tonight and wasn't getting a very clear pic. It was very cluttered on top. Also, It would pick up my jig but just as a blob and I wasn't able to see any fish marks. Checked several areas. To be fair though I didn't catch any either. Don't know if I need to change some settings or put the transducer deeper or if this is just what I got for skimping? Any help would be great.
