Fishing The Jefferson Street Pier (Port Clinton, Ohio)

This whole year I've been on a roll with collecting Fish Ohio species. One of my first entries of each year usually happens to be Freshwater Drum, but up until today I hadn't caught any that qualified. I saw on a few fishing pages of folks catching some rather large Freshwater Drum on Crawfish. So I decided I would stop by Anglers Supplies in Fremont, Ohio and pick up some live Crawfish. I then headed to the one place I knew I would almost be guaranteed to land a Fish Ohio worthy Freshwater Drum and that place was the mouth of the Portage River in Port Clinton, Ohio. Sure enough I caught my 6th Fish Ohio species of the year, a 25.50 inch Freshwater Drum, let's go!

Any day fishing is a great day.

nice fish....persistence pays off!

[@DakotaDunlap69]

Definitely, there's times when I would sit out all day and fish in one spot without moving. Even if the bite is slow, it's a really good way to figure out when the fish are moving in to feed.

Caught a ton of them walleye fishing and landed a couple big ones, but never thought about the species of the year. I read where if you bleed them out and put them right on ice, they are not too bad eating.

That's and all bottom feeders go in garden,peace brother!!! Dont eat.

[@DakotaDunlap69]

I haven't tried it, i heard it tastes like lobster if prepared correctly. A lot of different species of fish feed off the bottom and / or eat the fish that feed off the bottom

It's been remodeled since this video, so it might look a little different.
