Two Lures You MUST HAVE When Saugeye Fishing at Buckeye Lake! (Intense Bite Window)

[@Chapass]

I’ll say it again, great to see someone having success fishing this late in the season in Ohio. Thanks for the video and Happy New Year Crawler!

[@thecreekcrawler]

Thanks Jim it definitely took work but more patience than anything. We were real close to calling it and suddenly the fish kept us there for an hour 😎

[@wyattwelch4276]

Bro it’s crazy there rn

[@stonefly7158]

Across the street from there where that feeder creek is at is a great place to catch saugeye at also. Especially at dark and later

[@thecreekcrawler]

Oh yea!! That’s a solid spot too!

[@waynemayle865]

The winter time bite has always been best for me in the evenings

[@thecreekcrawler]

That window was slim but loaded with action!

[@stevebrockway4738]

That was very entertaining. Those two guys (and you) are an excellent example of sportsmanship in fishing. Have a happy new year!

[@thecreekcrawler]

Appreciate it Steve! This is what it’s all about as a community help and learn from eachother!

[@austinmiller3497]

Great video I love fishing up at this spot too at leib's Island Fairfield Beach is another spot I fish at also North shore Park I am wanting to check out sellers Point sometime this year and in the future I've only went fishing once this year so far I have not caught anything but as for memorial Day weekend I'm hoping I get to go and hopefully I'll catch my first fish and more

[@thecreekcrawler]

Get after it man!! We went today and caught a handful of bass

[@derekmc9580]

Man I love the channel. You give me and my family so many ideas for new places to fish all year long all around se and central ohio. Keep up the good work.

[@thecreekcrawler]

Ahh man thank you!! I appreciate you watching the videos and I wish the family some success on the water!

[@craigotto9103]

Glad to see you visit in my area. Come back soon. I used to fish Buckeye all the time but haven’t been for awhile. I only live about15 minutes away. Looks like you were near the boat ramp. Keep up the great work and congrats on your success. Craig Otto

[@thecreekcrawler]

Appreciate it Craig!! Buckeye is an excellent fishery

[@dumbfoot9552]

Buckeye is right in my back yard, that can be a tough lake to fish. Glad to see you were able to get into some.

[@thecreekcrawler]

I love that place. You are very lucky to have it so close!

[@jordanbeyer7607]

Same. Less than 10 minutes away. So cool seeing someone fish it

[@saluteyourshorts2772]

Ya didnt stuff those fish with weights did ya?!?

[@thecreekcrawler]

they stuffed themselves with my blade bait and jerkbaits lol

[@AverageDadFishing]

I grew up in Newark, like 20 minutes away from Buckeye Lake! Good vid man! Those are some nice fish!

[@thecreekcrawler]

I wish I lived a bit closer to the lake. I usually have good luck there! thanks for watching!

[@jlmize1507]

I hope you get to fish with their lures. I love to catch walleye (only three times). Best of the New Year to you and your family. 2022, Let's Go!

[@thecreekcrawler]

Yea they are hammers around that lake! Best of wishes and Happy New Year JL!

[@leejames7514]

I would like to purchase some of the custom baits by pops and the guys you were fishing with on this video. You have great Saugeye videos . Thanks for all of your hard work, we appreciate what you are doing.

[@thecreekcrawler]

Thank you Lee and Yes I will try and get ahold of him and see if he sells his custom paints!

[@hertzer2000]

Another great video, my friend! How about an Erie Dearie Rig challenge for walleye? Not sure the younguns know about them.

[@thecreekcrawler]

younguns!? We troll them with nightcrawlers I bet I could catch a fish from shore with it too.. =]

[@waterratlyle2590]

Great video man. Glad you got in the bite window and was able to crank them in.

[@thecreekcrawler]

Yea I was just excited to have some shooting light left to get some action on camera. Saugeye videos are hard to get live.

[@borisdoore1041]

Fun video, good to see you're still catching fish, never fished buckeye lake going to have give it a try🙂 thanks for the video and helpful tips 🎣

[@thecreekcrawler]

Thanks Boris! I try my best to get out. It’s tough with a new baby in the family. I love these warmer winter days so that makes it a bit easier 😎

[@derekcoleman2019]

Nice fish man !!! They been slamming over there we’re your at for the past few weeks but the bite seems to turn on in that area about hour before sunset untill hour or so after dark maybe we can get teamed up and go out sometime brotha !! Tight lines !

[@thecreekcrawler]

Thanks man!! If that lake wasn’t an hour and 15 minutes away I would be fishing it a lot more. It’s hard to find time for that adventure right now. I’m just glad to have a successful trip documented.

[@tightlinerush]

The hookup intros never get old!

[@thecreekcrawler]

Thanks man!! You put together some sick videos yourself

[@LifeoholicsFishing]

Great video, fantastic tips, and definitely a first for me seeing 2 Shad on 1 blade bait lol. That takes talent for sure! Keep doing you man and have a Happy New Year!

[@thecreekcrawler]

Appreciate it man! Yea those shad will be stacked up! That's a first for me. two fish on one hook lol

[@jimmyazbell147]

Talked to those guys a few times. Good people.

[@thecreekcrawler]

Cool dudes for sure and can really hammer some fish!

[@stevefisher2121]

It is the exact same way down here at Piedmont lake - about 30 minutes before sundown and 30 minutes after they bite like crazy and then it shuts off for a couple of hours, then it will turn back on again. Happy new year.

[@thecreekcrawler]

The golden hour! Then I take a nap and wake up around 10 or 11 and hit it again 😎

[@stevefisher2121]

@@thecreekcrawler We have even got it a boat and tracked them with sonar - they will not bite until they get back to the bank where we started - strange, they just make a big loop around the lake following the creek channel.

[@thecreekcrawler]

@@stevefisher2121 so they do move in big schools...interesting

[@andrewcochran7642]

Suspending or floating and smith wick rouges?

[@thecreekcrawler]

Carefully tuned suspending rogues yes! Make sure to get those baits to stay perfectly bouyant. the guys were slow cranking with a slight twitch along the bottom

[@spddmn75ify]

What kind of rod and reel set up are you using? And what line..

[@thecreekcrawler]

I typically do a gear check near the beginning of my video. This was more than likely a 6’8 Daiwa Tatula medium fast action spinning rod with a Daiwa Kage 2500. 10 lb power pro super slick braid

[@Dark30Outdoors]

I live close to this lake and really should try fishing it more often!! Nice work man!! 👍👍

[@thecreekcrawler]

Thanks!! Buckeye has been good to me

[@jackwheeler8756]

Nice job never fished buckeye they call it the prop bash lake

[@thecreekcrawler]

Yea I could see where they get that name lol

[@antonymiller1017]

What part of the lake was you fishing?

[@thecreekcrawler]

I’m not at liberty to disclose Antony sorry man! But that lake is polluted with fish. Find some rip rap, docks or baitfish schools and you will get into them! Thanks for watching

[@AngryOtter614]

Nice video. We're you getting the blade baits snagged in that rip rap? Were the jerkbait bites on a dead stick or regular retreive?

[@thecreekcrawler]

Surprisingly I was not getting snagged on the rip rap..you kinda would lift the rod tip as you got closer to the bank. The jerk bait bite was a slow retrieve with a twitch or two here and there.

[@nicfisher3230]

I fish this lake from bank a TON. When was this video shot?

[@thecreekcrawler]

Early December I believe.

[@nicfisher3230]

@@thecreekcrawler ok thanks. The water has dropped more since then. It's painfully shallow there now.

[@thecreekcrawler]

@@nicfisher3230 really thats a shame I would have thought with all the rain it would have come up a bit. Unless they have the lake set lower

[@o-y-ofishing1222]

Any pics of those blade baits

[@thecreekcrawler]

The one I was throwing is a KMDA Vibe. The other guys were throwing a custom blade made by a local angler.

[@josephmurphy4451]

Throw a Rapala BX Brat if you want to crank. Caught many of them on GMR.

[@thecreekcrawler]

Those Brats look awesome. Are they balsa?

[@josephmurphy4451]

@@thecreekcrawler they are balsa with a plastic coating. I throw the smaller one when it's cold. Went out yesterday. Only caught one in the creek. I was using the bluegill pattern 3 ft diving smaller version. Caught some biggins in late spring early summer on the bigger version.

[@thecreekcrawler]

@@josephmurphy4451 I love throwing little crank baits in the creek! I may have to get a couple!

[@tylerbfro6778]

north shore i have good luck at 1pm

[@thecreekcrawler]

I’m not too familiar with the lake i squally have two or three spots. Is north shore by the big boat ramps?

[@tylerbfro6778]

Yes by the ramps but I double drop shot live minnows when I go though I really should try the jerk baits

[@tylerbfro6778]

A lot of regulars there you will always have a good time on the concrete strip out there

[@thecreekcrawler]

@@JbairdIG We are just anglers walking in Gods garden! Happy New Years man!

[@JbairdIG]

@@thecreekcrawler Amen my brother and fellow Angler. Jesus Christ picked fishermen/Anglers to be His disciples and that to me even logically means something powerful. Jesus Christ/The Word incarnate in flesh said to them to come follow Him and be fishers of men. God Bless you and yours my brother and fellow Angler. P.S. More then anything people should understand that my heart is in the mental health and addiction field. Also me working at a dual Diagnosis inpatient and residential Mental Health Hospital for 10years has kept me very humble. Because tomorrow isn't promised for any of us. What's to say any of us will wake up and have a sound mind tomorrow and be able to approach this life. So for me having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour is number one and truly Loving and forgiving others, as I would for myself. Also doing my very best to mirror the image of Jesus Christ and not religion. God Bless Sincerely "The Dayton Metro Smallmouth Slayer"🙏🙏🙏💙🙏🙏🙏👊🙌👋💯💪🤺🔥🎣🐟.
