Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report!

CENTRAL OHIO

Buckeye Lake (Fairfield/Licking/Perry counties) - Use crankbaits, tubes and creature baits around Clouse Cove and Cranberry Marsh for largemouth bass; also any rip rap or woody cover. Try chicken livers on the north shore from Seller’s Point to the north boat ramp when seeking hybrid-striped bass. For bluegill, fish the eastern side of the lake using small worms and larval baits beneath a bobber. Crappie measuring 7-12 inches can be taken using minnows suspended by a bobber from shoreline areas that have submerged cover. This is also one of the region’s top lakes for carp; try prepared baits and dough balls fished along the bottom.

Griggs Reservoir (Franklin County) - This 361-acre lake in Columbus offers shore-fishing access on the east side of the lake. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are hitting right now; try plastic tubes and creature baits fished along rip rap and cover for best results. Crappie are still being found in shallow water around woody cover; use minnows or jigs suspended by a bobber fished right in the cover. Carp are large and plentiful in this local lake; use prepared baits and dough balls.

NORTHWEST OHIO

Lake La Su An Wildlife Area Ponds (Williams County) - This fishery is intensively managed to maintain the harvest of large bluegill. All area lakes are open to public fishing on Fridays-Mondays until July 29; no more than 15 sunfish may be kept per day for all area lakes and no more than 5 of these may be 8 inches or more. Most anglers are having success catching the large fish but finding it difficult to catch fish less than 8 inches. Largemouth bass must be 18 inches or more to keep, with a daily bag limit of 5. For additional rules and information, visit the Division’s webpage.

Bresler Reservoir (Allen County) - Located 4 miles west of Lima, 1 mile south of SR 81 and 1 mile north of SR 117 on Kemp and Grubb roads, this reservoir is 582 acres. Bluegill should be biting right now, with slip bobbers and jigs with wax worms usually working the best; try the east end of the north bank. Walleye can also be found; try the shoreline drop-off along the edge, as well as around the underwater island, particularly drifting or trolling worm harnesses or crankbaits in the mornings and evenings. There is a boat ramp located on the east side; boats are restricted to electric motors only. For more information or a map, check out the Division’s webpage.

Muddy Creek (Sandusky County) - Catfish should be biting the next couple of months; anglers can access the water at the SR 53 Bridge. The best successes have come from fishing chicken livers or cut bait tight-lined on the bottom.

NORTHEAST OHIO

Mogadore Reservoir (Portage County) - Anglers are enjoying an aggressive bluegill bite; most were catching them in deeper water in cooler temperatures but with temperatures in the 80s forecasted for the rest of the week, it might be wise to look shallower. Colored pin-mins tipped with a maggot or wax worm under a bobber should keep you busy. If bluegill move in shallower, consider a fly rod with small foam ants or little poppers for non-stop action.

Cuyahoga River (Summit County) - This runs through the Cascade Valley Park Chuckery Area which is part of the Metro Parks Serving Summit County. A short walk from the parking lot to the river puts you on instant smallmouth bass action. You can fish either upriver or downriver from that access point; waders are ideal for really working the river over. Tubes and crank baits mimicking minnows and crayfish have been producing nice catches of smallmouths, with a bonus pike here and there.

SOUTHEAST OHIO

Lake Snowden (Athens County) - Largemouth bass should be moving off of spawning beds, so anglers focusing their attention offshore will begin to have success catching them using jig-‘n-pig and spinner baits. Redears will also be on and off the beds; popular with anglers at this 141-acre lake, these sunfish are partial to deep water and are most often caught around submerged structures. Try lightweight spinning gear with 4- to 6-pound test line with red/wax worms.

Muskingum River (Muskingum/Morgan/Washington counties) - Late spring and early summer can be great times to fish for crappie in a stream. Don’t let the current deter you; just learn how to use it to your advantage. Crappie will find shelter from the faster water while keeping a position where they can easily feed; look for any current breaks in the water that allow a calm eddy pocket to form, such as points, riffles, rock piles, trees, brush, stumps or docks. Crappie will face into the current, so cast upstream and let your bait — try small jigs tipped with minnows — drift by giving them the best chance to see it and strike. Spotted bass fishing is also popular this time of year; try small spinner baits, tube baits and crayfish-imitation baits. Spotted bass are the predominant black bass here — commonly in the 8- to 13-inch range, with an occasional fish up to 15 inches; however, smallmouth and largemouth bass can also be caught. .

SOUTHWEST OHIO

Adams Lake (Adams County) - Anglers should have good success fishing from the shore line; pay careful attention to the trees and weeds along the bank because fish are hitting around 18 inches deep. Bluegill and crappie can be caught on nightcrawlers and wax worms. This is a great place for fishing with youth.

Cowan Lake (Clinton County) - Saugeye action is heating up, with anglers taking better numbers of 13- to 20-inch fish; try casting a jig tipped with a piece of nightcrawler and hop it along the bottom in 5-12 feet of water near the beach. If you prefer trolling, saugeyes can be taken on shad-patterned medium- or deep-diving crank baits. A lot of 7- to 8-inch crappie are being caught on small tube jigs or minnows fished near submerged trees 6-15 feet deep. Bluegill can be caught on red/wax worms near boat docks or the edges of lily pads.

Lake Loramie (Shelby County) - Channel catfish are biting on chicken livers, shrimp, and stink baits fished on the bottom. Bluegill have been caught recently around boat docks, rip rap shorelines and along the edges of lily pads; try small jigs tipped with wax worms fished just 1-2 feet under a small bobber.

OHIO RIVER

Washington County - The Muskingum River confluence is a great area to look for catfish. Flatheads in the 20- to 30-inch range have been reeled in during previous years; try a slip rig or 3-way rig with live bluegill or live/frozen shad while tight-lining.

Meldahl Dam (Clermont County) - Channel catfish are being taken in good numbers all along the river.; try chicken livers, shrimp or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom.

Trollers have been catching fish on worm harnesses or with divers and spoons; drifters are using worm harnesses with bottom-bouncers or are casting mayfly rigs. … Yellow perch was good over the past week (as of Tuesday). The best areas have been “B” can of the Camp Perry firing range, E of Kelleys Island shoal and E of Kelleys Island airport reef; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

Central Basin: Walleye have been caught off Rocky River in 53 feet of water fishing on the bottom using worm harnesses, as well as a few off the Cleveland Crib area in 50 feet of water and also in 26-34 feet of water NW of Fairport Harbor. Anglers are trolling dipsy- and jet-divers with worm harnesses, spoons and stick baits. … Yellow perch fishing has been good (weather permitting) in 32-34 feet of water N off Gordon Park in Cleveland, in 42 feet of water N of the Cuyahoga River lighthouse and in 50-55 feet of water N of Mentor Lagoons. Fishing has been very good in 38-40 feet of water N of the Ashtabula and in 38-49 feet N of Conneaut; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore fishing has been good off the East 55th Street and East 72nd Street piers in Cleveland; anglers are using spreaders with shiners and the mornings have been best. … Smallmouth bass fishing has been very good in 15-25 feet of water around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. Largemouth bass are also being caught in the same areas using soft-craws, leeches, tube jigs and crankbaits. … White bass fishing has been good in the Grand River up to the Uniroyal hole. … Channel catfish has been very good along the Grand River using chicken livers and large chub.

The water temperature is 59 degrees off of Toledo and 57 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast.

James scores 30, Heat take Game 5, 90-79

MIAMI — LeBron James scored 30 points, Udonis Haslem made his last eight shots on the way to a 16-point night and the Miami Heat used a dominant third quarter to turn things around and beat the Indiana Pacers 90-79 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday.

Mario Chalmers scored 12 and Dwyane Wade added 10 for the Heat, who lead the series 3-2 and will look to close it out at Indiana on Saturday night. The Heat ousted the Pacers in six games in a second-round matchup last season.

Paul George had 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers, who got 22 points from Roy Hibbert and 17 from David West.

Schwartzel takes lead at Memorial

DUBLIN — Charl Schwartzel made sure one hole didn’t ruin an entire round Thursday in the Memorial.

Schwartzel hit the ball so consistently well at Muirfield Village that the former Masters champion twice had stretches of four straight birdies. And when he made a double bogey with an 8-iron in hand and his ball on a tee toward the end of the round, he got rid of that bad taste with one last birdie for a 7-under 65.

Schwartzel had a 1-shot lead over Scott Piercy and was six shots clear of 5-time winner Tiger Woods.

Woods hit the ball well enough to be much closer, though he missed too many birdie chances and didn’t make up any ground on the par 5s.

Woods was one shot worse than 53-year-old Fred Couples, the Presidents Cup captain at Muirfield Village this fall, and one shot better than 14-year-old Guan Tianlang, who has played more PGA Tour events than Woods over the last two months.

Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, might be headed for another short week at the tournament Jack Nicklaus built. After opening with a birdie, McIlroy didn’t putt nearly well enough to atone for some loose shots, finishing with a 78.

Bill Haas and Matt Kuchar each had a 68, the best score of the afternoon.

Josh Teater, Russell Henley and Kyle Stanley were at 67, while Charlie Wi, Matt Jones and Michael Thompson shot 69.

Former PGA champion Keegan Bradley shot 71.

CLEVELAND — Scott Kazmir allowed one run in seven innings and the Cleveland Indians scored seven runs with two outs in the fourth to defeat the Cincinnati Reds 7-1 on Thursday.

The fourth-inning rally, which featured six straight run-scoring hits, gave the Indians a split of the annual Ohio Cup interleague series. The Reds won in Cincinnati on Monday and Tuesday before the Indians took both games when the series shifted to Cleveland.

The Reds have lost nine in a row at Progressive Field and haven’t won in Cleveland since May 22, 2010.

Kazmir (3-2), recording his longest outing in the majors in three years, dodged a bases-loaded jam in the third when he got Joey Votto to bounce into an inning-ending double play.

Run-scoring singles by Michael Brantley and Yan Gomes, an RBI double by Ryan Raburn, a 2-run double by Michael Bourn and an RBI single by Jason Kipnis chased starter Homer Bailey (3-4) in the fourth. Asdrubal Cabrera added a run-scoring double off Alfredo Simon.

Jay Bruce drove in Cincinnati’s only run with an RBI single in the sixth.

The Indians carried a 5-game losing streak, in which they scored 14 runs, into the series. Cleveland had also dropped seven out of eight but the bats woke up when the Reds hit town. Cleveland homered twice Wednesday, including a game-clinching 3-run homer by Jason Giambi, and fell one run off their biggest inning of the season Thursday.

Cabrera was hit by a pitch to start the fourth and took second on Carlos Santana’s 1-out single. After Mark Reynolds struck out, Brantley, who was in a 1-for-15 skid, singled sharply through the left side to score Cabrera. Gomes followed by lining a single to left, scoring Santana. Raburn’s double to left scored Brantley before Bourn drove a double into the left-field corner for two more runs and a 5-0 lead.

Kipnis, who was in a 4-for-34 slump, singled to right to score Bourn and finish Bailey. Cabrera doubled to right against Simon.

Brantley and Kipnis weren’t the only Cleveland hitters to break out of slumps in the inning. Santana came into the game batting .204 in May while Raburn was in a 3-for-24 skid.

Bailey, who threw 45 pitches in the fourth, lasted 3 2/3 innings, his shortest outing of the season. The right-hander allowed seven runs — tying his season high.

Kazmir, a 2-time All-Star with Tampa Bay, had his career sidetracked by arm problems that began in 2009. He was traded to the Angels that season but was 9-15 in 2010 and appeared in only one game the following year before being released. The Indians signed him to a minor-league contract in January after he pitched in an independent league last season.

Kazmir, who was 0-1 and allowed 11 earned runs in 13 innings in his past three starts, won for the first time since May 9.

Cincinnati loaded the bases with one out in the third. Derrick Robinson led off with a single and singles by Shin-Soo Choo and Cesar Izturis loaded the bases. Votto, who came into the game batting .417 in May, hit a slow roller to the right side and Kipnis started the double play.

Votto went 0-for-4, snapping his career-long 18-game road hitting streak.

Bailey retired the first seven hitters before Gomes reached on an infield hit. Third baseman Todd Frazier charged the slow bouncer but couldn’t make the barehanded grab.

NOTES: Raburn left the game in the fifth with cramping in his lower legs. He’s listed day-to-day. … The Reds begin a 3-game series today in Pittsburgh. RHP Johnny Cueto (2-0) takes on Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez (6-2). … Votto is the only Cincinnati player to appear in all 54 games this season. … The Indians continue their 5-game homestand today against Tampa Bay. RHP Corey Kluber (3-3) faces Rays righty Alex Cobb (6-2) in the opener of the 3-game set. … Indians RHP Justin Masterson, who defeated the Reds on Wednesday, is 4-0 with a 0.36 ERA in his past 25 innings at Progressive Field. … Cleveland 1B Nick Swisher was honored by the FBI Citizens Academy Foundation before the game. Swisher donated $25,000 to the organization in support of the FBI’s Child ID Kit program.
