Wayne, Ohio

I’m probably in the overwhelming minority by saying this but August is one of my favorite months of the year to fish especially on seneca. Didn’t catch a lot of size today but had a ton of fun. Spent the majority of the day just junk fishing and put quite a few small ones in the boat this morning. Went back out this evening for about 2 hours and landed the biggest of the fish on the day. .

I just used a hot dog lol!😂 channel catfish

I literally just dropped some bread in and it took it so quick!

Just a little blue gill! 😌

Such a fun day on the water catching fish on my 3 favorite lures: a bladed jig, jig, and a buzzbait. The bass weren’t biting great but I still managed to find a few decent ones and got several bonus crappie bites. The crappie were huge and aggressive with nearly taking the rod out of my hand once. . .

Little 15 minute bank session tonight to visit my pet bass. His name is Alfred and he hangs out in the same spot pretty much year round. His favorite food is a jig and he enjoys getting his picture taken. . .

Decided to search around the lake and fish new water and I mean water I’ve never fished at Seneca and found most of it to relatively unproductive. Managed to catch 1 fish on the spinnerbait. . .
