Hey Rscot, i havent been down to the Maumee river this year,and probably wont, but the site for Maumee bait and Tackle has some pics of some really nice sized eyes,and several friends have told me this is one of the best runs they can remember.I gave up river ratting due to the Way too frickin crowded conditions it gets to down there.only way i would do the river now is in a boat,and even my 18 ft. old Grady is to deep for the run, at least to get to the good areas.
Made it out 1 time this year,besides an ice fishing jaunt,we landed 3 eyes,lost 3 at the boat and had plenty o action in the mornin.might have been around the 9th or 10th,cant quite remember.Sattelite views yesterday showed no clear water in the typical areas,Turtle island to lighthouse are,humps on the south of channel,cedar point,even the little clearing out by the reefs has blown out past West sister,,I kinda wonder if it aint to early to head over towards Kelleys or the other islands,seems to be the only clear areas around???
