Fished Appleseed yesterday, not a saugeye to report. Caught a sick looking bass, and a drum. Speaking of drums, some guy brought a 5 piece drum set, set it up at the boat launch, and was banging away. I've seen people playing a guitar by the river before, but never an entire drum set.

Enjoy reading your posts on the catches you are getting.  I grew up a block south of the river near there.  My brother and I played along the river and fished it for years.  I can tell you that 55+ years ago there were never any fish in there like what you are catching there now.  All we ever caught or speared were catfish, carp, and shad.  Used to take my wife for picnics at City Utilities park when we would visit my mom the last several years.  Lots of memories.  Doubt if I go back much since we sold my mom's house last year due to her death.   Hope you keep catching good ones there.

Back from a successful trip to michigan, and fished appleseed last night. Water was very muddy, and no fish to report.

I'll have to meet you over there sometime, just a couple minutes from the house.  Should be good after this weather straightens out.

Fished the dam, the water conditions have cleared up, but still no saugeyes. Did see a few crappie caught on the sandbar.

Did you try right along the break wall? After dark is best.

No, I was near the sandbar. I was told not to hang around down there after dark, but if that's what it takes I guess. Lol

I don't think you'll have any problem at JA after dark, down on Anthony would be a different story.

Thanks for posting. That's very interesting. Maybe I can wade down there and get some of my lures back! Lol

I read that too. But with  more than 2” of rain up north, I wonder if they can keep this schedule. I was going to take the boat out today till I saw this wind.

That's wild...Sounds like a shooting fish in a barrel situation...I hear ya Hankfan24.....theres probably a lead sinker lined :clapping: bottom , and a thousand tackle boxes worth of lures down there built up through the years.
