When you get to the Hocking River at the dam by the mill, please try your Vudu shrimp there... I have a good feeling it will slay them there, they work great for me here in the Ashtabula River and Conneaut Creek here in North East Ohio..
Hey man. I just found your channel this week. I’m enjoying what you do. My son and I are just getting back into fishing after a very long time. You are getting us pumped to get back into the creeks and small rivers.
looking forward to ths one and it didn't disappoint looked like some of those fish had already been caught appreciate the way you handle the fish and don't cause any unnecessary harm
Another great video crawler beautiful fish I lived in Chicago for 20 years will county lots of small jaw I really miss it here in Trumbull County resources are limited might get one at Lake Milton if you're lucky got to get a day trip planned down there hopefully soon and another great job thanks for the post
Must be a topwater kind of year due to the abundance of cicadas? I have caught more fish this year on a Heddon Baby Torpedo than all of my other top water catches combined!
And out of all of those fry you showed us, only a small fraction will survive the first few months, less will survive the first year and the tiniest fraction will make it beyond the first 2-3 years of life. Trophy Class smallies take 7-9 years up north. and they only live about 15 years on average. Just some food for thought.. That 17.75" fish you caught and released was probably born in 2013....and the 18.5" one probably 2012 or earlier..
yea but its a good sign to see the banks holding thousands of fry! the Great Miami is a fantastic smallmouth fishery! they get pretty old that 18" fish looked very old. I would guess in the upper teens
@@rippinlipswithbilli1608 its all about timing really..learn about seasonal movements of smallmouth during the year! This will help you get in areas where fish are located!
@thecreekcrawler Well it's a little late for me. I'm in Colorado now catching trout in remote locations 11 years ago I was in that area and was born in Dayton.
It’s north of Hamilton. I’m trying my best to not give out exact locations anymore. Just so people can explore and find places theirselves. Tightlines man and Goodluck this year
Hey I’m pretty new to fishing started fishing the dam in moraine Ohio in Dayton catch some catfish and smallmouth any time you around and plan on going fishing you just let me know I would love to fish with you
I’m getting ready to move back up to Dayton. I don’t mean to trespass on your site, but curious where you park in that area along the river for easy access?
