Like last time if you have too many boaters I can fish as a non-boater..... I think.

[Jay-MadWags]

Looking forward to fishing at Lake Ovid again.  Last time I was there I won the tournament with The Rev.  I'm better at catching largemouth anyway.  I'm coming after you Vince.  That is If I don't draw you as a boater. . .

[djkimmel]

Oh! A challenge! That should make things interesting... any strategy you want to share??

[VinceR]

Well, so much for a laid-back, no pressure day of fishing. Guess I'd better bring the "economy sized" can of Wh___ A__.

Man, talk about throwing down the gauntlet and then getting smacked by it! By the way, I have free refills for mine.

I think Jason is counting on the pattern being the same as two years ago.
I highly doubt it, but just in case, everyone bring your frogs and horny toads.
Also bring your deep cranks, medium cranks and shallow cranks....buzz baits, spinners baits and flukes........senkos, yum dingers and tiki sticks.......poppers, jitterbugs and spooks......and a partridge in a pear tree.

I love the sound of that pattern!  It plays right into one of my strengths...Junk Fishing! 

There is nothing better then spending the day tripping over 12 rods stacked up on the front deck like cord wood.  Ah....fishin'

You forgot the "deep-diving Hula-Popper", and my all time favorite, the "Carolina-rigged Zara Puppy".

Pssst, I've also been known to flip a Blue Fox Double Buzz into the heavy matted stuff, but nobody knows about that. It's been a well kept secret.

[dashaver63]

Just bring your go-to bait and avoid all that. You know the one... that long red stick bait with the 30 second fuse. Oh and you'll need a big net.

[djkimmel]

No one asked the CRITICAL question!!! What color partridge!??!!!?

Dan:

I plan on attending as a boater!

[djkimmel]

Thanks Jack. I'll put up the preliminary boater/nonboater list this weekend to see where we are at.

[dashaver63]

I just hope the algae isn't in Ovid. Had enough if that today on Ford.

[djkimmel]

Algae usually isn't bad out there this time of year... but it has been real warm and I haven't been on the lake in weeks - any reports from anyone??

[dashaver63]

Well, if there is any green, slimy, smelly stuff up there, hopefully the rain it looks like they are getting takes care of it.

[Durand Dan]

I was out there last weekend. There wasn't any alge, but plenty of floating and submerged weeds on the south end where I spent all my time. I cought a few shorts and a nice channel cat on a spinner bait.
