Piedmont Lake in 1972 Lew, must have been eating well to weigh that much! My uncle was a hard core muskie guy and kept a boat on Piedmont. He was pretty well known in the area as a Muskie guy. I haven`t seen him in years, after the grandparents died they didn`t come around much. Lived out of state. LOL memories. Hope you have a good season!

Don`t know about the fishing Lew, I can run the base camp though. CLEAR FORK RESERVOIR Clear Fork is in Richland and Morrow counties northwest of Lexington on state routes 97 and 314. This picturesque lake is always included in any list of top Ohio muskie lakes. "Muskie fishing in Clear Fork Reservoir is excellent, based on just about any standard you care to use," said Larry Goedde, fish supervisor in District Two. "Muskie catch rates here are some of the best in the nation." Clear Fork is the site of intense muskie management activity. In April, biologists remove eggs from Clear Fork female muskies and use them to produce the hatchery-reared fingerlings used to stock the nine program lakes. Biologists estimate that there are several muskies over 27 inches in length in the lake along with some trophy-class individuals. "Female muskies frequently grow in excess of 40 inches and occasionally longer than 50 inches," said Goedde. "The longest muskie we have seen in Clear Fork Reservoir was 50 3/4 inches. The state-record angler-caught muskie was 50 1/4 inches and weighed 55 pounds, 2 ounces." According to Huskie Muskie Club records for 2002, Clear Fork Reservoir yielded 293 muskies including two over 50 inches. Large weedbeds, protruding points and dropoffs, many islands and depths reaching 24 feet mean excellent habitat for muskies throughout the lake. Gizzard shad are abundant and provide perfect forage for these fast-growing predators. "Fishing success is consistent at Clear Fork," said Goedde. "Year after year, it is one of the best muskie producers in Ohio. Muskies of all sizes, including specimens from 20 to 50 inches, are caught at Clear Fork." All shad-imitating lures produce well. Clear Fork muskies also fall for jigs tipped with 6-inch soft plastic shad bodies. "Generally, July and August are good months," said Goedde. "Clear Fork muskies seem to like warm weather." Clear Fork is owned and operated by the city of Mansfield. There is a strictly enforced, 8-mph boat speed limit. A small, city-owned campground is next to the marina and is usually filled with die-hard muskie anglers. Shoreline access for anglers is restricted to the south side of the lake. From shore, anglers can cast to the edges of weedbeds, tapering points and dropoffs that normally only boaters can reach. There is no fishing on or off the water near the dam (buoys mark the area). The water is clear with abundant submerged weed growth providing excellent habitat. For more information and a map, contact Gary Johnson, the city's Clear Fork manager at (419) 884-1408, or the District Two office at (419) 429-8370. About 60 miles down the road! Rich it will get there soon! We got the same forecast, just run a day earlier. If it keeps up an early bass start!

Great pictures! I miss seeing the rocky shorelines!

Probably like up there fall is a better time to look. Google Trading times and see what comes up, it is a local (by city?) paper for people to sell stuff, usually a lot of boats of various kinds. What are you looking for?

Way to much of the wrong stuff! Some lures that are no longer made that I thought i would never run out of.

It hit 55 here today and we have our first ice related incident. Dude went thru on a farm pond a couple of miles from the house. No update yet on his condition, but it is too freaking cold to go swimming! Use your head!

Dirt cheap they are usually at least a buck a jar at the flea markets here, if you see them.

Sorry Moe!

Welcome back BBR, sorry about you and sleded!

No problem, my bro mikey did it till his eyes got bad. LOL they might have always been bad? He came up with some strange colors!

I have a gander mountain near me also, a good tackle shop. Not the selection of Bass Pro or Cabelas, but if you don`t have one of them near by?

Janns Netcraft, Stamina tackle, Barlows, all sell supplies to do it, I am sure there are some in Canada also. I would start by seeing what is available after getting input from some guys that do it. My brother used to, takes some time.

Rumor has it she catches skis, she might want to solo?

Yes I have! Even my dogs like it, did you mean as bait?

Will a Civic pull your boat?
