Hey all,
New to the forum, and hoping for a little advice. I know conditions aren't the best, but I am going to take my son on a run down to Hillsdale for crappie. We typically fish Perry, but aren't getting many keepers. I don't have a boat, does anyone have some suggestions on a couple of good places to fish from the bank. It has been awhile since i have been there, and I have only fished from a boat. Thanks in advance!!
Saw a lot of fish being caught at HD Point ramp last night before the rain. Marysville and Antioch ramp areas both have rocks by deep water, typically decent right now.
Working on a different bite, we caught quite a few real thin crappie in 21 to 31 fow yesterday on white bandits. More keepers the shorts.
Thanks for the info, headed out here soon, will let you know how it goes.Quote:

No, i am sure you could not have known it was going to be like that. Yes, it was rough out there, and i could tell that the water was way up. We didn't have much luck but we finally we able to fish a little on the North side of Tontzville Road. Thank you very much for the information, it gave us a few spots to try. We were able to catch a few small ones, and had a good time, so thanks again!Quote:

They just started to release at about 1145, they're releasing 500 cfm, the spill way should be pretty active.
Bite was really hot tonight. Blacks and Whites, WB, Eyes and a few small flathead. All came from 8.5 to 10fow. White and Chartreuse was working best.

hd 5 ft. high and risin saw 2 fishin the walls this morn did not see anyone on the east side of lake drove across little bull on 223rd. st. still rippin pretty good did not look like they were releasing that much water not up to the side walk anyway??
When I talked to Jim bell with the Corp. earlier this week he said they'll likely keep the follow at 500 which is just below the side walk to keep it fishable unless we get a lot more rain. He also said they can't release water until the Maris des cyn. starts to drop, so I'm not sure if they'll keep running water.
Was at the spillway at 11am. Water is shut off.
I was at the HD outlet in 91' when they had it rumbling after all the rain. There were huge gar and all kinds of fish being caught. It was neat.
