I did some fishing around the Columbus area this weekend before going to the Deer and Turkey Expo. We met up with a couple guys from down there that knew some honey holes. Unfortunately the melting snow last week had the water levels up pretty high. We first tried the tailwaters below the dam at Delaware Lake... chocolate milk and no saugeyes. Managed to snag a few carp though. Next stop was below the dam at Alum creek. We had heard that the muskies were biting there so we tied on the stickbaits and gave it a shot. The water there actually wasnt bad at all. I had one bite but no muskies were landed. An asian guy fishing down from us hooked into one while we were there and it broke his line. Finally we headed to Hoover Reservoir and fished the tailwaters there. That was by far the worst fishing conditions there. Raging chocolate milk... needless to say that was a waste of time there. We didnt catch any fish but it was cool because that was the first time that I fished either of those places. I think once the water slows down the bite will be on for sure. I know I prolly should've posted under Central Ohio but I live up here so this is where it's going.
