Northeast Ohio inland reports!

Hello people I thought I start a thread for reports on northeast ohios inland lakes feel free to post any reports tips or tactics here[emoji3] hopefully I'll have a report on one of my local lakes soon! & if you don't want to name the lake that's cool too just a fishing report is fine too!

Last time I was out was portage lakes last Wednesday water temp was 43 for the most part where we fished found a couple channels near 50' but they were full of dead shad and green scum did not catch a thing at portage got rained on plenty tho here's a few picks from that outing[emoji3] Attachment 198979Attachment 198980Attachment 198981Attachment 198983

I like that water color, everything down here is brown.

Most of the water at portage is gin clear.

Our water is the color of cardboard.

...and 20 - 30 foot too high.

The wife said she wants to fish this evening so I'll have a report and hopefully some fish pictures tonight[emoji3]

Got out to Nimi for a couple hours with the wife fished 5pm until 7 when the rain showed up and the wind became too much of a pain. Lake was rolling good today ended up catching around 20 crappie 8-10" little cookie cutter males fishing 4 feet of water with a gold #6 thinwire Aberdeen hook and minnow under a float fished 8" deep..all released it was nice to have a couple hours on the water with the wife and catch a few fish. Water was a bit stained we tucked into a bay to avoid the wind caught two little green carp as bonus fish[emoji12].Attachment 199283Attachment 199284Attachment 199285Attachment 199286Attachment 199287

Nice report and keep them coming. Hopefully we can get a few more people reporting from other parts of the state.

Thanks! I'll do my part. I'd like to see the Ohio board get going with inland reports coming in from all regions of the state.!

I wish I could of made it out with you today. I kinda miss my ice fishing preschool that followed me around all winter, glad to see you found them I was kinda worried one of those green carp ate them lol maybe you can get out my way for the trout stocking mayhem and be entertained by the masses as I am every year I will have my daughter and her friend fishing Saturday for them but tomorrow and the following rainy days are mine to be around the foolishness after work.

Don't worry SB your preschooler fish are alive and well![emoji23] I've got to get to that trout stocking I always enjoy watching the truck chasers if I did not have to work today I'd be there. Maybe I'll make it over that way after work one day this week.

Fished nimi 4/18/15 11-5 caught about 30 crappies and one little perch only one fish caught today was maybe close to legal it was dink city at nimi water was gin clear could see the bottom in 13 fow it was a little windy times but still an enjoyable day on the water. I bet I saw 40 boats and 20 kayaks I don't know if there was a tourney going on or everyone had the same idea as me I've never seen so many boats at nimi at one time.
