FISHING REPORT 2/06/10 LOCAL ICE IS SAFE
AREA PONDS AND RESERVOIRS HAVE AROUND SIX INCHES OF ICE OR MORE. PERCH AND BLUEGIL ARE FAIR TO GOOD AT WAUSEON RESERVOIR. FEW SAUGEYES. CRAPPIES ARE BEING CAUGHT AT MAUMEE BAY STATE PARK IN FAIR TO GOOD NUMBERS. MOSTLY SHINERS WITH A VARIETY OF ICE JIGS. SOME ARE USING WAX WORMS OR SPIKES FOR BAIT, BUT SHINERS SEEM TO BE WORKING BETTER. SANDUSKY BAY IS PUTTING OUT FAIR TO GOOD NUMBERS OF PERCH. EAST HARBOR IS PUTING OUT SOME NICE CRAPPIES. THE BLUEGIL BITE IS EVEN BETTER. EAST HARBOR HAS BEEN VERY GOOD THIS WINTER.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF LAKE ERIE SHINERS IN STOCK. WE ALSO KEEP WAX WORMS, MOUSES, AND SPIKES IN STOCK TOO. WE HAVE GOOD WIGGLERS IN STOCK. MAUMEE TACKLE CARRIES THE LARGEST VARIETY OF ICE JIGS IN N.W. OHIO.
ONCE AGAIN WE DODGED THE FOUL WEATHER. THE WIND WAS 5 - 15 KNOTS N TO NW. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND A COOL 60 DEGREES OUTSIDE. AT LEAST IT WAS FAIRLY WARM BACK AT THE RAMP. THIS YEARS ATTENDANCE WAS LOWER THEN LAST YEAR. WE HAD TWENTY-ONE TEAMS COMPARED TO TWENTY-NINE LAST YEAR. THE MOST WE EVER HAD WAS FIFTY-SEVEN TEAMS SEVERAL YEARS BACK. ANGLERS WERE TELLING US THAT FISHING WAS A LITTLE TUFF BUT NOT BAD. THE WATER WAS STILL OFF COLORED. AS ALWAYS, WE WENT THRU 160 HOTDOGS AND LOTS OF HOME COOKIES.
