It may be a bit early, especially with such a long drive, but I am catching fish every trip. Most of them are big prespawn females so I most often release them. If I were you and your schedule is flexible, I'd wait until the water temp is up another 5 degrees or so. Slow troll (0.8 - 1.2mph) with Bandits and Perfect 10's 30' to 60' off the boards. Good luck to you and welcome to Ohio!
