Ohio Fishing

Couple years ago in February, here in Ohio, we had five days in a row of 60* weather. Tied on a purple worm and caught a bunch of scooters, you know, so cold all they did was bend their tail and hold it here while you cranked them in. 😬

We had a couple days of 50* and one of 60* last week and I said I can’t stand it and went fishing. Thanks to a number of posts on cold water fishing here on the Forum and several in the Fur Fish and Game magazine, I have gained confidence in cold water fishing and have realized that bass season never really ends, guy in Pennsylvania ice fishes for bass and caught a 9 pounder!

So I hit my favorite spots - the ice had just melted, and fished a big spinner with a big trailer bouncing the bottom real slow, blades barely turning, and caught a one pounder, a three and a half, and this four plus pounder - which actually jumped three times. !
