OHIO WHO'S WHO

[flipnpitch]

  Liked the Indiana and Maryland threads so I thought I'd try to start one for the Buckeyes.

  My name is Dan, I live in Woodsfield in SE Ohio. I mainly fish the Ohio River, Seneca, Tappan, and Salt Fork lakes, and some smaller lakes like Monroe, Slope Creek, and Wolf Run. I have 19 1/2 ft Javelin bass boat and a 14 ft. aluminum. I belong to a small bass club that has about 25 members.

  Lets hear from some more Buckeyes!!

For those who don't know the Medina area hatrix is not lying. EVERY OTHER HOUSE OR PROPERTY HAS AT LEAST A 1/2 ACRE POND. I would venture to say medina has more ponds per capita of any county (barring Florida) in the country.

This is partially for RiverFisher13, who sent me a PM but I can't reply because I don't enough posts yet, but it's for anyone else as well. RiverFisher13 asked about any advice I might have for the AEP Recreation Ponds and I'd say the first thing he and anyone else should do is go over to ohiogamefishing.com and look up the posts on the AEP ponds in Southeast section. After that, if you still have any questions, go ahead and send me a PM on that site (I have the same screen name there - thedon255) and I'd be more than happy to answer any questions.

I have a 16 foot tri-hull boat that is about to hit the water for first time in the next two weeks. The rebuild is almost complete.

[shadyhaven]

my name is nick, i am in northwest ohio(defiance). there aren't many lakes around here so i usually go to indiana and hit the chain o'lakes. lots of ponds around here and one tiny lake(oxbow). i fish from a 03 nitro when i can find the time!

[hatrix]

Yea we really do have a lot of ponds out here. Im basically surrounded by them from all sides. Just counting only my neighbors like adjacent to me there's like 8 i think. Plus my pond well mine is actually 2 cause there's like a 1/2 acre maybe a little bigger next to the 10 acre one. Also behind my house in the woods are 2 ponds next to each other that are decent size. So I guess for ponds I could walk to in like 5 min or less there's 12. Now if i actually got in my car and drove for 5 min its endless how many there are. I am actually right around the corner from spencer lake if any one knows where that is.
