Another push coming

The forecast for rain today and all day tomorrow will raise the river level to about 6 ft, which is almost 2 ft more than it is now. With a rising river this weekend, but sure to mark the water level and check on it if bank fishing so that you do not get stranded. This Easter weekend will be busy down there! And we will see another fresh batch of fish showing up early next week for sure. Have fun out there!

The maumees river is a 97% public waterway . so no one is intitled to a permanent spot first come first serve type of rule. There's no need for fighting or casting jigs at each other etc..!!! If you don't like fishing next to people or boats , or tangled, snagged up with each other you should not be fishing the run stay home.if you decide to fish the run have respect for others and the land be polite there's plenty of fish for everyone!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it's a 'battle royale' down there right now. I was pushed out of a spot the other day, and you just have to roll with it. I am there to enjoy nature and catch fish, so I don't get too worked up...until I see people keeping undersized fish--I call that out each time. I did see a guy get his line tangled around a guy, and he walked down, they sorted it out, and all was good. We need more of that. If you get a fish on, you can always ask guys to back up a little, and most people are fine with that. It's Good Friday people! Enjoy the day on the river!

Busy morning on the Maumee this morning. The fog made it kind of cool looking. Lots of limits on both sides near Ft Meigs. The Birdman and Opie both got their limits as well as myself. Heard a story about some guy taking the fish off of graybeards hook after snagging Graybeards line when he had a fish on. Sad. One thing that was a problem was a couple of shortcasters who showed up late and then continuously were catching everyones else lines. Good Friday is not a day to learn how to fish the run for your first time. Tangling up some with each other is normal but not every other cast. Pray for rain, the level is dropping way too fast.

Dbldip that's why I don't have a concealed carry,stealing my fish was funnier and worth watching the way they were to pretend like it was theirs I figured if the needed a fish that bad they could have it.if it was my fourth fish I might have had a flash back and did something about it.I am surprised it did not piss me off..
