Ok, I have put my boat at the docks as early as March 15 , and was not able to fish for 30 days due to weather , mostly, high winds , and some honey do lists, anyway I think, this April 15th , or after that will be the best time to get the Water Dog to the dock.

Getting all the rods and tackle in shape,
Hope you can do the same,
be safe,
back soon,

Welcome to Spring Dog. Looking for to getting out there soon. Boat goes to dock next week but not sure if I will go next weekend though. Looking forward to your reports

We are heading up from Cincinnati this weekend to put the boat in and “maybe” get out a bit. Just happy to be able to head north and get the boat, the dock, and the camper open for the season! Be careful out there. And let’s have a good season with some good fish and some good reports from each other!!

The wind forecast looks good for Sunday morning. Maybe some rain in the afternoon.

Showing high winds for Saturday.

Hello Water Dog, good to hear from you thanks for sharing

Feet Wet!
Looking north, the lake looks like very brown.
Will see what the SAT shows, but for now at the docks waiting for some changes to the brown soup.
Be safe,
Water Dog

I was hoping to trailer to Cullen Park and jig walleyes in Maumee bay tomorrow or maybe over to the Davis Besse reefs. If the water is chocolate milk would I be better off fishing for trout in the ponds they have stocked in the westrern ohio areas if I want fish dinner?

Well, I am waiting for the lake to settle down and for the water temp to warm up a little more. The trout fishing is a great back up if the Weather changes. Try both and let us know how you do.

First weekend out was very successful. Sat we didn't get out until 830. Due to the mud we went to round reef and had our 12 by noon. Water was pretty good out there. Got word that they had success Saturday evening just 2 miles out of the river. Went there this morning and got our 12 by . Had to work for the today but some nice fish. Water cleared up about a mile out now.
