Belleville gettin' hotter
Will be going down to Belleville Dam daily starting tomorrow. I will head down sometime in the early afternoon. Fishing should improve throughout the week. Not really a fan of the higher barometric pressure we have now but that will change too. Looking forward to the rain next week!!!!! Supposed to be in the 50's and raining!!! This will turn them on FIRE

Re: Belleville gettin' hotter
Just got back from the river. Between 3 guys we had over 100 sauger. We had them dialed in on 2" green grubs. Slow steady retrieve. Had a few hit on minnow rigs set on the bottom. Had some nicer fish this evening. Will be there tomorrow evening. Riverside bait has minnows on rt. 144 in Hockingport. They are not listed in the phone book or 411. If you're looking on a map the shop is located about a 1/4 mile north or west of the junction of rt 124. Easy to find and nice people there. Hornbeck's is always a great bet but can be a bit out of the way depending on where you're coming from.

Re: Belleville gettin' hotter
Yep sounds like a lot but, it comes in waves. If all progresses well it would be reasonable to catch 40+ fish per angler in a 4 hour evening. I have experienced many days over 100 per angler when it really gets good! Do not expect to catch many during the daytime. It is possible to catch them then but, it is best to make an evening of it.

Re: Belleville gettin' hotter
Just in from the river again. Fishing was a little slower this evening and more smaller fish than usual. Only managed about 10 keepers with a slab crappie, a smaller crappie, and a nice jumbo perch. Got to meet a fellow "Ohio Outdoorsman" tonight. It was Bowjo who has been diligently fishing the dam lately also. Seems like a good guy and we'll probably hook up to do some fishing sometime. So totals for the night are approximate but with 4 guys in my group we probably caught right around 100 give or take a couple. The other group we were with had a slightly lower catch between 3 guys. All in all was a decent night. Unfortunately we'll have to take a night off due to schoolwork and we'll be back in force come Wednesday night!

Re: Belleville gettin' hotter
Hey guys, thanks for the positive commentary. I'm glad I was able to help and hopefully you'll both get some better fishing out of the info. Life's too short to lock away good information. If you have something that works share it. There's plenty of water and plenty of fish for everyone to have a good time. Anyways, river report for tonight(I know I should've been doing homework, right). Went down with 5 guys and found fishing to be a little slower. Ended up with approx. 80 or so between all of us. Rain will hopefully pick things up! Good Fishing! Btw Saugeye you should consider going very early possibly after hearing Bowjo's morning report. Maybe the stained water will keep them biting later into the day for us! We won't know till were there I guess!

Re: Belleville gettin' hotter
me and eye2 are leaving here around 930 or 1000 am, i can fish until around 700 pm again, real early and staying late are not a really good option for either one of us, if they bite we will catch a few, if not we will just bullsh$$.

Re: Belleville gettin' hotter
Latest report, between 5 of us managed about 120 sauger. I started off a bit slow fishing with Joe for yet another fine night. I ran into some problems with a couple of snags and decided to make a move. The move paid off very nicely and I managed nearly 50 fish myself. 3 of my sauger were 16.5", 16, and 16 (Fish Ohio's!)! 7 of them over 14"! By sauger standards I was having a big fish night. I am posting some pics below. I caught my limit and my buddy managed six keepers. I also caught a 16" walleye which was a nice bonus! I am also posting some other river pics from this year.[img][/img]
