Maumee River Report- 30 december 2021

Almost done with 2021- been a great year for fishing and kayaking. We are looking forward to some good things in 2022.

Maumee river: Water is up, bout 4 ft over normal levels. The rain and snow that passed thru the region over the last few days has the river up and running. Since nothing is frozen it still a good time to go find a nice little creek feeding into the river or a sheltered area out of the current and go after some of those cold water crappie.  I hear the reservoirs and a few local ponds have been producing a few crappie and bluegill as well.

These Cubby mini mites work great year around for panfish and trout-stop in and check em out.

 

The Cubby Mini-Mite Jig are available in a bunch of different color choices.

Cubby Mini-Mite Jigging Tips:

• Use a 1/32 ounce or 1/16 ounce jig head.
• The lighter the line, the better the action of the jig. Use 4 pound line or the lightest line that works best for your rod and reel.
• Most fish feed near the bottom and will be caught within a foot off the bottom.
• Keep the jig moving. Usually it’s best to slowly bounce the jig on the bottom, pausing for a few seconds between bounces.
• Fish often strike a jig when it is falling to the bottom or when the line is slack. Watch the line at the surface for any movement.
• Use a grub or wax worm on the hook to attract more fish in difficult fishing conditions.

 

 

For best results, tie your line directly to the jig head. Do not use snaps.
