Maumee and Sandusky River Reports
by OhioFisher on Tue Feb 12, 2008 9:20 pm
:note: I will use this to post new reports-I will also make a new post when this one is updated [Maumee Tackle]
From the Ohio DNR- fishing reports- http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/FishingSubhomePage/FishingProspectsandReports/fishingfreportwalleyerunreport/tabid/6127/Default.aspx
RIVER CONDITIONS: 08/09 /08 LITTER. PICK IT UP. VERY SIMPLE.
THE RIVER LEVEL TODAY AT 6:30 AM WAS AT 578 (low). THE WATER CLARITY IS AT ABOUT 10 INCHES. THE WATER TEMP. IS 74.9 DEGREES.
WADING TO BLUEGRASS ISLAND IS SAFE. (the normal summer river level is 579 - 582
FISHING REPORT: 08/09/08
IT'S BEEN NICE TO HAVE LOW WATER FOR THIS LONG. MOST ARE REPORTING THAT SMALLMOUTH FISHING IS GOOD. SHALLOW DIVING CRANK BAITS, SOFT PLASTICS, TOP WATER BAITS AND DRIFTING NIGHT CRAWLERS HAVE ALL BEEN WORKING WELL. A FEW WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT MOSS IN THE RIVER. WHEN THROWING CRANK BAITS PUT A "BB" SIZE SPLIT SHOT A COUPLE OF FEET ABOVE TO CATCH SOME OF THE MOSS. OR JERK YOUR BAIT TO RELEASE SOME OF THE MOSS.
CAT FISHING IS GOOD THROUGHOUT SUMMER. HIGH OR LOW WATER. YOU CAN CATCH CHANNEL CATS JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE IN THE RIVER. USE NIGHT CRAWLERS ON THE BOTTOM OR SHRIMP FOR GOOD RESULTS.
UP RIVER ABOVE THE DAM AT THE CAMP GROUND A FEW BIG FLATHEADS HAD BEEN CAUGHT JUST RECENTLY. THE LARGEST WAS REPORTED TO BE 49 lbs.
FLATHEADS ARE WIDE SPREAD UP RIVER. TRY FISHING SOME OF THE BIGGER POOLS. USE BLUEGILLS OR CREEK CHUBS ON A CAROLINA RIG. NIGHT CRAWLERS WILL WORK AS WELL.
RAINBOW TROUT, A FEW SMALL BROWNS AND A FEW STEELHEADS ARE BEING CAUGHT AT COLD CREEK IN SANDUSKY. MINI FOO JIGS WITH WAX WORMS OR SMALL SHINERS. FLOATING SMALL SPAWN BAGS WILL ALSO WORK.
