Frogs only? bob o's Lake Ovid event

[bob o]

Ovid, might have to do. i've never been there b/c "no wake" but from the looks of it it might be a good location. is the campground on the east side of the lake a state campground or is it a private?

[Revtro]

Sleepy Hollow State Park.  The no wake thing on that lake isn't too bad because it's not that huge of a body of water.

Only 400 acres but a large percentage of the lake is fishable - lowland reservoir only about 30 years old. Several island and small bays. Nice little state park campground. Only a few yahoos running on plane each year so no jet skis or crazy people. Pretty much just a fishing lake. One of my favorites.

ok then, Ovin it is and i guess i'll be saving a bunch of gas money too. Now we need a date and we will also need to decide if this a tournment  or just fishing for bragging rights. if its a tourny let's keep on the cheap side like $20 a boat and $5 for big fish, sugestions welcome

[djkimmel]

Bragging rights are always fun...

[McCarter]

McCarter himself

don't know yet, whats good for you? i doubt we can please everyone that wants to fish but the first step is to start posting some dates and go from there.

[McCarter]

im pretty easy.  the only thing i am really concerned with this season is the Lake Drive North tournaments.  I should be able to work around anything else.

I'm still trying to get my boat finished. Hard by myself. IF I ever get it done, and can fish out of it, then I'll try to fit this in. It sounds like fun.

If I can fish it Mike, you can fish with me.

well throw some open dates up and we will see who else can make thouse dates. i'm wide open for june but the last week in july i'm booked, i guess we could bump into Aug. if we need to

[Hooksetter]

It's been my experience on Ovid that the frog bite is better in July than June, and maybe even slightly better in early August. Has anybody else found this to be true? Or is it just my timing?

Although Ovid is not that big, a large percentage of it is what I call "Frog Water".

It would be fun anytime. I will absolutely try to make it.

To hit it best for frogs over the long haul, you need the weeds to top out well meaning usually past June, but not to where they have really died off, meaning mid to late August most years lately, which probably means July into early August just as you predicted.

I've had some good quality topwater days later, but the lake can start fishing a lot smaller and less numbers for frog and topwater on many days because the cover has fallen back quite a bit.

There's actually a short window in June sometimes that can be awesome - transition of post-spawn into pre-summer - but it would be very hard to hit (and maybe not really happen) and June is a really busy month.
