Sorry for the late post.

Fished the Maumee River on 4/13 from Maumee up to Waterville. Most of the anglers were fishing from the US-23 bridge, West toward the rapids near Jerome Road. The fishing pressure at Blue Grass Island/Side Cut Metro Park was moderate, and pretty much non-existant at Orleans Park. Shore anglers at White Street were catching good numbers of White Bass and Channel Cats. The only walleyes I seen were on stringers of two guys leaving the river on the south shore, near Jerome Road. They each had one walleye a piece around 3 - 4 lbs. Seen a couple of White Bass caught in this area as well. I did manage to get my net wet by catching a 25" Carp that bit on a Chartruse twister near Waterville.

Water clarity was 6" - 8".

I've done really well on the Muddy Maumee... HAven't been skunked so far this season.. Fish primarily along area between 23 bridge and Jerome rd. rapids. Most success has been evening from 5 til done.. I use lighter weights on my carolina rigs (1/4 or 3/8 max), a lead 0f 42" or 48" , and small floaters w/2" tails only..... colors vary with light conditions....
