Fall Get together for Ohio boys.

[Desperado]

I had such a great time at the last get together. I want to have a fall get together, but wanted to hear from the guys of which lake or river you would like to have it at. Just let me know. I would prefer not to have alcohol there since we will have kids around. I guess that might have a few not coming, but tough. I would like to have it locally to everyone, and knowing that it is going to be tough, as close as we can. Please try to have better excuses than before so we can have a good turn out.... :p ... I know work does get in the way and that is understandable. Maybe this time we could have a cookout or pot luck. I thinking about giving prizes to the kids that catch the biggest fish or something to that effect. Send me a Pm or e-mail..or just post here so you can get your post numbers up. :rolleyes: LOL.

I look forward to hearing your ideas, plans, and of course the great excuses...LOL

[ryang]

Lets go where some of the bigger ones are Dillon, Deer Creek, Alum, Delaware would be my sugestions for central folks. What time are we looking at Fri/Sat thing?

[Pole_Cat]

This is Pole_Cat. Iam a new BOC Would like to get together.
I am about halfway between Buckeye and Deercreek. Have to consider Deercreek drawdown. Keep posted.

[ryang]

The only thing about Deer Creek I dont like is by the spill way not much room to work with. Just before you get to the Dam there is an area that looks prime fishing main lake part. Ive never fished anything but the Dam and didnt catch a thing had a couple of bites on Gill tho.

[RIVERRUNT]

Hello Everyone!!!! Sounds great and count me in.Alum creek would be my first choice only because i have pontoon over there and dont trailer it just leave it over there and could take 3-4 people without boats.Other than that ill go anywhere you have it. Have a great one!!

[Desperado]

Thats is mighty nice of you riverrunt to offer your boat. But Alum is a great lake to fish for cats. Anymore input?

[Baitkiller]

:)

If I'm off I'd like to make it too. Is anybody getting Flatheads @ these spots?

"Join in the pursuit"!
<><Baitkiller><>

[ryang]

Steve if Im not mistaken Alum is mostly chanel there are some flats there Deer Creek has flatties not sure on Delaware State park

[doughboy]

how about dillon i guess they have both the flatties and channels anyway there is a real good chance you will see me and kelly no matter where it is :p

[redneck_oh_44833]

I'll be there if at all posible
I'd like it in alum or delaware
not sure were dillon is but buckeye lake is a long way for me to go
if on a lake with no hp limit I can bring my boat I can fit two others on it with me and my boy

[ryang]

redneck_oh_44833 Dillon is past Newark about 30min from Buckeye

[Desperado]

Well guys , It's looking like Dillion or maybe the Muskingnum River. Since some want a shot at getting a large flathead. Dillion lake is unlimited on motors.

[maddcatter]

I say Lake Logan. Lot's of nice flats come from there. And it's only about 250 acres.

[maddcatter]

I do think it has a 10 horse limit though. But Really nice flatheads!!! :D

[Abu]

madcatter.... I never thought of Lake Logan. It is a very short drive for me and I have never made it there fishing for flats yet. Even if the gathering is not at Lake Logan I have got to get the boat out on it. Abu

[Desperado]

I haven't fished there is there a good bit of room for bank fishing?

[maddcatter]

I've never been there but Tony and I have talked about going there. Like I said, It's not a really big lake, so finding spots shouldn't be too hard. Oh yeah, And if you look on the odnr website, It shows a map of the lake with depths and Boxes? planted in the lake for cover. It seems like a good lake for Flatheads. Most of the big flatheads on the odnr website are from Lake Logan.

[ryang]

Logan does look like a good spot even looks like I may be able to cast to some of the deep holes LOL.

Here is the Link from ODNR

Lake Logan (http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/wildlife/PDF/lakemaps/Lake%20Logan.pdf)

[maddcatter]

So, does everyone like the lake logan idea?

[Desperado]

Sounds good so far. I'm going to take trip down that way and see what we have to work with. I'll let you know what I find.

[RamRod]

I personally would like to go for Dillon Lake. I could bring the boat since I got the motor fixed :p

[maddcatter]

Clarence, let me know what you find out.

[redneck_oh_44833]

i would also prefer dillon logan lake is a long way for those of us from up north

[Bull72chvy]

I am in favor of Lake Logan,it would be so much easier for me to get to than the others.I have bank fished there,and have done pretty good.Its in a beautiful area of Ohio near Hocking Hills.It is a really nice lake with plenty of room to bank fish.I was wondering,if we do go to Lake Logan if someone would let me fish on their boat with them?I have been catfishing for years,but always from the bank.I would rally like to experience catfishing on the lake.If no room thats cool too.So I give Lake logan 2 thumbs up for an Ohio get together,its only about 1 1/2 hours away from my house.Well, its time for football!Keep me posted. JJ

[maddcatter]

I've never heard of anyone doing good for flatheads at dillon aside from the spillway. Lake logan has some really nice ones from what I've seen.

[Desperado]

Ok, guys I'm going to fish Logan fri. night. If anyone wants to join me let me know. I will be fishing with bull72chvy(Jon) so far. I need to know asap.

[Desperado]

We got togther at lake Logan. Bull72chvy(Jon), doughboy(Brian with son, Kelly), RamRod(Johnny with son Michael). We got to the lake before dark and set up. Used everything and only doughboy got a small cat. I think the full moon had something to do with it.
The next day Brian, Kelly, Johnny, Michael and my lady and myself went to Dillion Lake. My lady and Michael rode in my boat and Brian and kelly rode with Johnny in my father's boat. We cast netted several shad and drifted for some cats. My team in my boat got four channels. I haven't heard from the other team, which tells me that they didn't do so good. But over all I had a great time for the weekend. I'm looking forward to getting together again.
Now with that said I want to get together next weekend and hit the river, maybe Ohio or Muskingnum. Tell me what you all think.

[doughboy]

well you are right :) we didnt do so good but we still had a great time. :D but the next time :0a37: I would like the muskingham because i have never fished it before but we have been doing pretty good down on the ohio which would suite me just fine i guess what i am trying to say is i have a good time just being out there so it doesnt really matter to me where i go just as long as i get there and i usually dont go without my partner Kelly He loves it as much as i do if not more. Just let us know and we will be there

[jason454ci]

If you guys hit the muskingum I can probally make it. The ohio sounds good but don't know if it will fit in the budget. Glad to see y'all had a good time this weekend. Would have like to wetted some lines myself but been battling a stinking cold all week. Keep me posted on next weeked though.

[Baitkiller]

Sorry I could not make it guys. Maybe I can make the next one and if in town I will.......If its at some Flathead waters. The last two times they went to the Ohio they gots Shovels.

<><Baitkiller><>

[loanwizard]

Good fishin between Zanesville and Marietta on the Muskingum. If you want any info around the Beverly lock, let me know, I know that stretch very well although the info I have is old. I used to fish it 3 days (Fri, sat and sun) for 4-5 years. Of course that was 15 years ago

[BassMassey]

if i were in the area i would take u all up on the offers....when i can get back in ohio i will let ya know........i prefer dillon and the muskingum.....dream about fishing the ohio...........i know a decent bank spot at logan also.....park by the dam and walk down the trail a lil ways.........

[Desperado]

Loanwizard, e-mail me your number so I can get a few places on the river. Hope they haven't moved in fifteen years....LOL

[maddcatter]

If you would like to know of a good bankfishing spot in zanesville, I know a couple. Right in zanesville, the is a bar called terry's tavern. Right behind the bar is a really good hole for flatheads. Also, the Y-bridge is another good place, but it's right in the bad parts of town, so don't go alone.

[Netmanjack]

:frk-big: Zanesville has BAD Parts of town? lol

Who would want to mug an old smelly Cat-fisherman anyway?:sick-big:

Or get beat with a ten foot fiberglass rod, with a 8/0 hook and a 8 ounce sinker? 8" Bluegill optional.lol:grin-big:

[Desperado]

Ok, guys I want to get together next week end and the feed back I get is nobody can come on fri. and ,I know the gas prices don't help much. But I'm going to put up a here some lakes we can go with to get together. I was going to plan on Sat. night.

Lakes to choose from:
Buckeye Lake(unlimited hp)
Dillion Lake(unlimited hp)
Lake Logan(10 hp)

It seemed better last time for people to bring there own food or if you guys want to bring something and have a pot luck that is fine.Last but not least, boats. If yor going to bring a boat let me know. I want to make sure that everyone has a boat to ride in or if you prefer to bank it. Let me know on all these questions.

[ryang]

Clarence depending on Gas prices I should be able to make it, no boat would be bank bound. If Gas goes up past $3 again tho I wouldnt count on me making it.

[RamRod]

Count me in with a boat for Dillon Lake.

[Desperado]

I just got some info about a lake and would like to add Salt Fork lake to the list for the get together next weekend. I would like tell you it will be on Sat. night.

[Desperado]

Well got together with my son in my boat(Mud Shark) and Jason and Johnny and his son in another boat(Kelly Girl). Needless to say it was a good fight, but Team Mud Shark came though again. My son and I didn't stay the whole night ,but it was a great time. All the bets on fish were fun and need to be paid up. :p (Bottles ,not cans...lol) Overall it was a good time and can't wait for everyone to get back together again. It seems that there is not to much feedback on the next weekend outing. I know it is the first day of bow season. But let us know something.

[jason454ci]

Hey got puter fixed again.LOL. Had a great time the other night. Thanks again Johnny for having me out in your boat. We'll get ya the next time Clarence.LOL. Found out while reeling in a fish and the crank falls off is a weird felling. So my excuss is equipment failure.

[Catfish Huntr]

All,
I will keep an eye on where yall are going to fish. I want to make it but that will depend on how many airlifts we will have this weekend. Were sending alot of personnel down south in support of the Huricane. If I do not have to work I will be able to show with my ultimate catfish boat. :D

Hope to meet yall,
Catfish Huntr

[maddcatter]

I won't be able to make it this weekend. My brother turns 21 on saturday so I think you know why I won't be able to make it. ;)

[RamRod]

Madcatter,

Bring your brother along, it will be much cheaper and we'd be glad to see ya both! :p

[ryang]

Ill be in Indiana this weekend so I wont be able to make it. Ill try to bring in some bigguns from Lake Monroe

[Ohio Trophy Hunter]

hope to know more about my schedule this time tomorrow,the new boss can't seem to make up his mind til the last minute.we are in "rebuilding mode"financially,but if a weekend gettogether isn't too far from columbus,we would love to atend!
Eric and Wendy

[RamRod]

Come on everybody, who wants to get together again or if there's some new faces that want to get together before the snow flies please post here. I'd like to get together with everyone again. Thinking about Dillon, cats have been biting pretty good out there! :D

[maddcatter]

I might be able to go, if I'm not completely broke at that moment.

[jason454ci]

Let's git-r-done!

[ryang]

Im there hopefully let me know the date and time and place

[doughboy]

just let me know when you know kelly and i will be there :D

[Bull72chvy]

Where are y'all thinking of going and when?

[Desperado]

So Johnny what is your plan? Are we taking boats? Are we bank fishing? Are we going to partner up in the boats? Day fishing or night fishing? Let us know. :p

[maddcatter]

If I can go, I will be bank fishing.... unless someone would like some company on a boat.

[RamRod]

OK, here's the plan. The get together will be at dillon lake. We need to all come up with a date and I would like for it to be an all-nighter. Willing to have a contest for something, would like to get some ideas from everyone. I will be bringing a boat and have room for 1 person. Would like to get enough boats together so everyone could go out on a boat. I'm willing to put up a new Ugly Stik Catfish rod for the most catfish caught for the night. Was also thinking of having a pool where everyone puts say $5 in a jar and the biggest fish caught takes home the cash.

I'm just throwing out ideas to everyone, if you have any ideas let me know. But I would like to get together maybe next weekend if possible.

So, let's hear it everybody.

[jason454ci]

Sounds like a great idea to me. You know I'm in. Just let me know when.

[davesoutfishing]

looks like a nice place here is some info on the lake http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parkmaps/dillon.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.ohiobirds.org/birdingsites/showsite.php%3FSite_ID%3D36&h=913&w=550&sz=68&tbnid=5D9mFalWrvwJ:&tbnh=146&tbnw=87&hl=en&start=12&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddillon%2Blake%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den% 26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG



I hope that worked lol

[Baitkiller]

If comming, can we get our "Big Cats" from public waters and still be in the kitty. I was thinking like the Ohio River but be there toooo :D ?????

<><Baitkiller><>

[RamRod]

LOL, good one Baitkiller. Let's just leave it to the biggest in Dillon. :p

[RamRod]

Well, it appears there's not enough people interested in getting together so if you want to hook up and go out with me sometime soon just give me a PM.
