Wow, I didn't realize that you were up here fishing in my neck of the woods. I grew up in Westerville which is nearby Hoover Reservoir. Unfortunately here in Ohio there are very few bodies of water that contain Blue cats. Our predominant species of catfish here is your "favorite" the channel catfish, although there is good Flathead catfishing waters here as well. Unfortunately we don't have skipjack native to here, so, mostly used shad, bluegill, or crappie for cut bait. The other thing that you might be interested to know is this year is the first year that the state permits fisherman to used up to 3 poles at a time. Before that it was always 2 poles maximum. I hope you did well in the tournament. Thanks for coming up here.

Remember I have told you before the Lake is average of 4 to 6 feet deep. Holidays the Lake has a lot more pressure than other times. Channel cat are active when it rains and at nights. Most common breeds are active. They have a couple bass tournaments every year and the competition makes it a lot of fun!!

Caught a 14 and 15 pound flats in the same night last year on it but then a monster hit and I didn't have a chance. But good line no doubt. Love ya catfish man id like to know how tournament day went. Everyone got you to Ohio after a year or two but I'd seriously like to see you go to the lake in Murphy NC. It shouldn't be that far from you. I'm 33 when I was 15 my dad hooked a cat we never seen fought it for 3 hours and 5 minutes and finally broke his line. Such an amazing Hugh lake with little houses on it. Muskie, blue cats, and flat heads get very big in there

A few more miles and you will be at Indian Lake the second largest freshwater in Ohio. They have had an allergy causing a weed growth that they are fighting. It has the water very clear and areas where they haven't been clearing it. So some areas are covered with weeds and other areas that are clear. The reports are the bite hasn't been affected and the catch is as good or better than normal. Give it a try sometime and you will have a good time. Let me know when and I can connect you some of the locals.

I’m watching this video and hear you mention bringing Skipjack for bait from home. I don’t know the rules in Ohio but most state regulations are against bringing any live bait from another state, sometimes just from another bony of water in the same state. I will assume your Skipjack was very dead and frozen which should allow the use of it. I love watching you fish and and have learned a few tricks from you. I’m not able to go very often but love to fish. I hope you won a few bucks in the tournament, haven’t found that video yet. I haven’t even finished this one yet! Have fun & good luck!!!!

Ive fished the Ohio River for over 25 years and its going down hill fast. Used to go to the river w/o having bait. U could go down, catch skipjacks and get on a couple 30 lbers with nearly no effort. Now u can sit all day and be proud to catch a 5 lber. The paylakes have just about wiped it out. Even the skipjack population and went downhill. U can still catch em here and there. But u used to be able to catch the fire outt em. Now theres 200 ppl lined up on the bank and theyll keep 3 coolers full and go sell em to the paylakes. Its pretty outta control.
