flipnpitch reply :

Liked the Indiana and Maryland threads so I thought I'd try to start one for the Buckeyes.

My name is Dan, I live in Woodsfield in SE Ohio. I mainly fish the Ohio River, Seneca, Tappan, and Salt Fork lakes, and some smaller lakes like Monroe, Slope Creek, and Wolf Run. I have 19 1/2 ft Javelin bass boat and a 14 ft. aluminum. I belong to a small bass club that has about 25 members.

Lets hear from some more Buckeyes!!

BUCKEYEone reply :

My name is Nate, I live in Bellefontaine, so Indian Lake is my home lake, but I fish anywhere I can. No boat yet, so I'm usually out at farm ponds or rivers as often as possible

HoggBoss reply :

My name is Chris. I live in an eastern Cleveland suburb.

I'll be spending most of my time this year fishing either electric only lakes with my newly converted 16' jon, or private ponds/small lakes with the float tube.

For those who don't know the Medina area hatrix is not lying. EVERY OTHER HOUSE OR PROPERTY HAS AT LEAST A 1/2 ACRE POND. I would venture to say medina has more ponds per capita of any county (barring Florida) in the country.

thedon255 reply :

This is partially for RiverFisher13, who sent me a PM but I can't reply because I don't enough posts yet, but it's for anyone else as well. RiverFisher13 asked about any advice I might have for the AEP Recreation Ponds and I'd say the first thing he and anyone else should do is go over to ohiogamefishing.com and look up the posts on the AEP ponds in Southeast section. After that, if you still have any questions, go ahead and send me a PM on that site (I have the same screen name there - thedon255) and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions.

birdy reply :

I'm John from West Chester OH, just north of Cincinnati. Fish mostly ponds by foot but occasionally fish the little Miami for smallies. Going to visit Seneca lake in a few weeks, fishing from a pontoon boat. Any tips from those of you that have fished there would be great.

crankbait2009 reply :

I am from the Cincinnati area. I fish the Little Miami River, Winton Woods, and Rocky Fork

~~All from shore.~~

All fishing done from a kayak.

Drewhop reply :

I am Andy. From Newark which is just east of Columbus. I am surrounded by rivers and lakes. Buckeye/Dillon Licking river Muskingum river. I will fish any water I can get to. I have a 16 foot tri-hull boat that is about to hit the water for first time in the next two weeks. The rebuild is almost complete.

shadyhaven reply :

my name is nick, i am in northwest ohio(defiance). there aren't many lakes around here so i usually go to indiana and hit the chain o'lakes. lots of ponds around here and one tiny lake(oxbow). i fish from a 03 nitro when i can find the time!

hatrix reply :

Yea we really do have a lot of ponds out here. Im basically surrounded by them from all sides. Just counting only my neighbors like adjacent to me there's like 8 i think. Plus my pond well mine is actually 2 cause there's like a 1/2 acre maybe a little bigger next to the 10 acre one. Also behind my house in the woods are 2 ponds next to each other that are decent size. So I guess for ponds I could walk to in like 5 min or less there's 12. Now if i actually got in my car and drove for 5 min its endless how many there are. I am actually right around the corner from spencer lake if any one knows where that is.

quanutum-man reply :

my names jordan im 17 in cincinnati oh for work painting the roebling suspension bridge trieing to find some good lakes i dont have a boat so theres only a wide vareity of places i can fish that is of course if anyone out there would like to take a youth fishing

martijw reply :

Hey, I am from the Toledo area so you bet your *** I walleye fish, white bass, and smallies on the Maumee. I dont have a boat yet, but I fish any pond that I can get permission too. I also hit up a few lakes in Michigan and Illinois for some pretty good luck. Still waiting to get the dream bass though...I will conclude by mentioning the fact that I carry a consolidated Plano tackle box in my car with two spinner rods that are ready to go at a moments notice. If your water has bass and I have the time, I am there.

Fishohio reply :

Yea I know exactly where Spencer lake is and if I knew your address I would be able to pull into your drive without directions. I dont' want your address but I just know Medina very well!!

shootermcbob reply :

My name is Bob. I fish mostly at Tappan lake, with occasional trips to Clendending Lake and Salt Fork Lake. I started fishing only a few years ago, and find it mesmerizing to be out fishing while the sun comes up, the turkeys are gobbling, deer will be snorting, and, hopefully, the bass are slamming a black jitterbug. ;D

I do not currently own a boat and will most likely not for a couple years.

Chance_Taker4 reply :

My name is Chance. I live in Toledo but go to college in Defiance. I fish in mostly reservoirs like Swanton, Wauseon, Delta, and Metamora. But I also fish the Maumee River, Maumme Bay, Oxbow Lake (once when I was really little), Harrison Lake, and any farm ponds that let me.

Grey Wolf reply :

Welcome to BR Chance.

Nate reply :

My name is Nate, I live in Columbus Ohio and fish everywhere. I grew up on Buckeye Lake and know it in and out so i guess you would call it my home lake. I fish the ABA Tournament Trail.

Robert Riley reply :

Hey, my name is Robert. Im coming to Ohio for the next few days, visiting a friend at Patterson AFB. I want to go fishing for smallies!!!! Anyone know any places or want to take me there? Im a pretty avid fisherman, so there wont be much of a learning curve!

Sfritr reply :

Hey everyone, I live in Lebanon, Oh. and just moved back from Michigan in Feb I fish any lake I can get my boat into. Just got back from Patoka lake in Indiana where my wife caught her PB 6.75lb LM. It was a hog!! BTW she fishing with a BPS tourney baitcaster rod and a zebco 33 reel. It was hilarious.

EJVH3 reply :

Edgar from Akron, OH. I live in Portage Lakes (Coventry Twp.) and fish the Bad Bass Champs tournament trail. My favorite lakes are Portage Lakes, Mosquito Lake and the Black River/Lake Erie. I fish out of a 2004 Triton 196LE w/ a Mercury 200 EFI. I mostly focus on active fish with Crankbaits. I would love to work on my jig skills for those not so active days.

Sfritr reply :

I would encourage all of you to go to the toolbar near the top of the page and click on the Member Map on the far right. zoom in on the map and place a pin near your home area. It is always good to see where other members are located in case you may need to pick up a rider or are looking for local lake advice when traveling to a new lake.

As I posted previously, I am in Lebanon, Oh at Shake Run. I fish at least once a week so if anyone is looking to head out let me know.

BTW, I just fished yesterday and the fall bite is in full swing, we slayed em.....

emowens reply :

My name is Ethan and I live in Centerville, a souther suburb of Dayton. I'm a bit all over the Dayton area - lots of municipal ponds (unfortunately), and the metro parks around Dayton. Each spring I go down to Dale Hollow to hopefully land the next big world record smallie.

I'm always looking for new fishing spots or to connect. My dad and I river fish a decent amount, but two grandkids has kept him busy, so I've lost any semblance of a fishing partner.

JG233 reply :

Way to revive this thread @emowens!

I'm out in Athens, OH for the next few years (except for the summers). I'm in the first year of my PhD at OU. I'm hoping to get my kayak out on the water at least once a week until it gets too cold.

emowens reply :

@JG233 what’s your PHD in? I was on the same situation as you some years back. Got my masters degree at ETSU and was always trying to squeeze in a wet line when I could.

@cfout4050 thx for the reply. Ever gone to Sharon’s woods lake?

@Sfritr if you’re offering I’d gladly take you up on fishing!

Thanks for the replies all!

I’m for sure fishing Thursday. Unsure where yet

JG233 reply :

So I'm fishing Ross Lake tomorrow. Let me know how you guys do in OH thread I created. Let's start sharing some reports - not exact spots or anything - just basics.

I’m thinking either SpriNg Lakes In Bellbrook, or the park pond on social row.

@JG233 good idea. Will do

ZebcoZak reply :

Name is Zak and live in Gahanna, 10 minutes east of Columbus. I typically fish out of my 1648 Jon on Hoover and Alum. Also like to wade up and down Big Walnut and Alum Creek whenever I have some time. Looking to learn the bass population of Hoover a little better this year. And want to catch my first reservoir musky out of Alum. I have caught a few wading below the reservoir, but nothing in the open water.
