Richland, Ohio

Got a ton of bites this morning just really struggled to put fish in the boat. Seemed like fish were short striking quite a bit. Ended up landing 4 total fish but lost 3 at the boat and 2 others. I lost track on how many fish I missed and how many craws were bit off. . .

Foggy morning on the lake really put a damper on my plans to run and gun. I decided to hunker down in one of my favorite areas on the lake for the early morning hours because it was no where near safe to be flying all over the lake. I managed to find a couple decent ones before calling it a day. . .

Stabbed a few in the face this morning. Spent most of the morning fishing behind boats so I methodically picked areas apart and managed to catch a couple in the couple hours I was on the water. . .

Fished for a few hours this morning before the Ohio state game and smashed them on some of my favorite lures. I ended up losing a dink and a giant on the jig too. If I caught the big one it would have gave me a decent bag. . .

August has been one of my favorite months to fish for quite awhile and today was no different. Such an awesome morning on the water at Seneca. Caught my first smallmouth ever at Seneca (only the second one I’ve ever seen caught here) and quite a few largemouth. Didn’t end up finding a lot of size but the numbers were there like the rest of the month has been. . .

Junk fished my way to a pretty good day on the water yesterday. Best 5 bass was pushing 9.5 pounds, caught my PB saugeye (5 pounds and 24.75 inches long), and a massive catfish enjoyed a jackhammer a little too much. . .
