Pulled my limit in about 2.5 hours yesterday across from Schroeders. 3/8oz, 5' leader, orange on orange.

All nice fish, 3 jacks and 3 females (eggs were still packed tight).

Forgot my camera at work. Sorry..no pics.

Was great to be out again. Don't tell anyone.

Well I fished the tow path and White St. for about an hour and a half at each spot.I never touched a fish at either location,I didn't see any other fishermen either.I fished from 1-5.No one has brought any up to the shop yet either.Someone has to be the first to get their mug on the site so bring em up to Maumee tackle and we'll take your picture.

By the way, the river at the Waterville Bridge is at 4.78 ft and dropping fast. Fishable waters.

I just checked out Maumee Tackles site, and Gary is already posting his river report. Posted on 1/31 at 3:00 pm a river temp of 36.5 i beleive , and a depth of 583.5 with no known catches reported. Cold and snowy this weekend. Good luck to all the crazies that will be there this weekend. I think I'll give it a couple weeks

Fished this evening from 4 to sunset with 3 other buddies and we managed 1 sucker. Still fun to get out and feel that tic tic. Saw one other guy who caught nothing

your pic reminds me of a guy I remember on the Maumee who caught a sucker about 10 feet away from me...he looked at the fish for about 2 minutes....looked to his left, looked to his right....held the fish looking at it for another 2 minutes...then put it on his stringer...he obviously was new at river warrior fishing and thought the sucker was a walleye...

although from a distance, I can see how one could think a sucker was an EYE but I sure wouldnt want to find out how one tatses...after eating that, I dont think he'd be too keen on catching EYES again...
