maumee river report- April 1st 2025

 

She(Bucksnot) beat me… by one.  SMH

Score: 7 to 8

 

 

Sunrise : 7:18 AM (First cast)

Sunset: 8:00 PM (Last cast)

5 ft leader and  3/4 to 1  oz weight

No crossing to Bluegrass Island- Too high.

 

The river has risen about 3.5 feet in the last 36 hrs or so. This opens up a bunch more fishing areas.  Orleans park is now a good spot, Davis overlook, White street acess and all along the Towpath. Stop in the shop and we can point you in the right direction. 

 

Saw a decent amount of limits early(first cast) and later in the day(last cast) . Midday was slow, lots of midday sucker and buffalo action. 

 

This undulation of water will/is bringing in a fresh push of walleye from the lake .  Also giving those here already a chance to mover further upriver towards Waterville and the Grand Rapids area. 

 

The river should crest ( reach its highest point ) sometime today. Only gonna get better as the week goes on. 

This higher water is also going to trigger some creek/river crappie action. Check out our crappie section, we have some good lures available.

 

Live bait-

Minnows, worms, waxworm.

 

Have fun be safe and good luck fishing
