Hello from Ohio

Gentlemen and Ladies,

I've been lurking on BassResource for a while and have been enjoying all of the discussion and education.  It's time I introduce myself and contribute as well.

While I've been fishing casually most of my 39 years, I've been fishing more seriously the past 3 years.  The first 2 were spent mostly fishing a 16 acre pond.  Then last summer I purchased a 17.5 bass boat and a lake cottage on an 1800 acre reservoir.  Other than a few trips to Canada, that reservoir is where I fish almost exclusively.

The learning process has been rough.  Ohio in general is tough for bass fishing and this year has been particularly difficult for not just me but for many of the local bass guys I've spoken with.

I love the learning aspect of this.  I'm content fishing for 8 hours and only catching a few.  As long as I learn something along the way.  Where I am now in the process is learning how to locate fish.  And I'm at the very beginning of this process.  I have a decent fish finder (Helix 7 DI GPS) but I am not good at using it.  So I'm enjoying all of the input from the board about how to locate based on conditions and the water I'm on.

I look forward to the day I'm a whole lot better at this.  And I look forward to contributing here and learning from all of you.

Kind regards,

reerok

    Where in ohio? I'm in Toledo and would love a fishing partner. I've been fishing for the last few years for bass all around ohio and Michigan and have been pretty successful.

    Hello and thanks for the welcome.

    I'm in New Philadelphia in the East-Central portion of the state.  My boat and cottage are on Clendening Lake which has a good reputation for bass (for Ohio) but it's been a tough year.  Good thing I'm patient!

    If you ever travel this far I'd love to spend a day on the water with you.

    Welcome! Ohio has been rough this year for whatever reason, I feel the unusually warm winter/spring had a bit of something to do with it.
