Senecaville Lake

Had a decent outing in what might be my last trip out on the boat in 2026. Caught a few decent bass and absolutely smashed some good crappie! Lost track of how many 11-13 inch crappie I caught. . .

Got a day off work so I decided to head to the lake. Went into the day with zero expectations but ended up being a decent day. Just couldn’t find a ton of size. I’m not much of a crankbait fisherman but they enjoyed it today and even got a bonus toothy critter that head shot a lipless crankbait. . .

Another solid day!

Decent morning on the water as I was able to find a pretty good fish. I had a lot of fun because I was able to go out and catch fish the way I like to catch them! . .

If you look at the pictures you would think I had a pretty good day on the water. But if every fish I had hooked makes its way in the boat I catch at minimum 16-17 pounds on the day for my best 5. Just couldn’t keep them pinned. Nonetheless it was still a fun day. I learned a lot last weekend on the water and made key adjustments that could have led to an absolutely incredible day. . .

Tough day of fishing but there were some positives to it. Managed to find one of the right ones and the saugeye were chewing. . .

Pretty good morning on a foggy, and soggy Seneca. I found one of the right ones fairly early this morning and then decided to go shallow and just have some fun fishing how I like to fish with a jig and a chatterbait. I had another really good fish hooked and it ended up spitting the jig before I could get it in the boat. . .

Fishing was tough for me today. Managed to hook into a few decent fish and dumped 2 more that would have given me a solid 10-12 pound bag. The bluerock custom tackle tube was the move today. Seemed like it was the only thing the fish would munch today and they ate it good when they did. . .
