Predictions on Walleye Fishing

Really getting the fishing bug down here in Columbus and thinking of coming back home to NW Ohio to try my luck at some Walleyes. We got about 3" of snow the other day and its been pretty cold here especially at night. Coy pond out back was frozen!

Seems to be many good anglers commenting on fishing the Walleye run in both Maumee and Sandusky Rivers. So what do you think? Has the weather stalled the fishing or have most of the Walleyes spawned and looking for some food? Hear the Maumee is the place to be but have never fished it...always fished the Sandusky. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey man, the run has just started and this cold weather turned them off! I think the maumee is much better and more of an adventure but way more crowds. The sandusky you will lose the crowds but the fish numbers will be way down also. With the next rain you should be good to go on either river!

Thanks Jonny!

I did manage to get a hold of my cousin last Friday and he advised me to stay put this past weekend for the same reasons you stated, cold weather turned them off. This weekend looks great as far as warmer weather and some rains so will be heading up there this coming weekend.

Not all is lost though...fished a private Lake at Hide-Away-Hills on Saturday and managed to catch 3 nice size crappie. Surprised....thought the water needed to be a little warmer but I'll take it!

Thats a start! I agree this coming weekend looks good!

We got quite a bit of rain with warm temps today which probably will bring in another bunch of walleyes. The fishing will definitely pick up this week!

Hey Kenny...thanks for the input! Planning on finally making the trip this weekend, just need the week to stop dragging!

Fishing is still really slow on the Maumee, but that may change any time now with the river on the rise
