As the Fall muskie fishing season heats up, I hope everyone eventually gets a chance to look around the updated OHMC Merchandise Store. We have added new photos of all of our club’s apparel, memorabilia and other boat bling. Photos compliments of member David Baio! We have also put the non hooded sweatshirts on clearance and added the 50th anniversary items. All items are payable through secure online banking via your Paypal account or credit card. So take a look around by clicking on the ”MERCHANDISE” link at the top of this page.
2011 OHMC Fall Outing Results by OHMC 2nd Vice President Paul Anderson
The 2011 OHMC Fall Outing was held at Piedmont Lake on September 17th and 18th, 2011. There were 42 contestants entered and they caught 18 fish.
Results from the OHMC 2011 Nite-Bite by OHMC 2nd Vice President Paul Anderson
The annual OHMC Nite-Bite was held August 6th and 7th, 2011 at Leesville Lake. Twenty three (23) anglers registered for the event and attempted to tame the beast. Registration was held at the South ramp from 5:00 to 6:00 Saturday evening. Fishing started at 6:00 on a warm humid Ohio evening. Water temperatures were in the upper eighty’s and the wind was calm to very light. Although the threat of rain showers or thunderstorms was present throughout the event, the worst of the storms in the area avoided our fishing time.
The 2011 OHMC Open Summer Contest was held on July 9 & 10 at Alum Creek Reservoir in Delaware, Ohio. We started the day off with a pancake breakfast at registration. All food and time for this was donated by Paul Anderson OHMC 2nd Vice President. This was held as a fundraiser for the club’s donation to the minnow fund. Thanks Paul! Paul said he will do this again at the Fall Outing to be held at Piedmont Lake.

Again this year OHMC will be represented at the Musky Bash held on Lake St. Clair on July 23rd and 24th. The team is comprised of Fred Lederer OHMC President, Jeff Ferjutz OHMC 1st Vice President, Paul Anderson OHMC 2nd Vice President, Mark Steinert and Jake Lederer. Last year we were real close to finishing in the money and lost our BIIIIGGG fish due to some straightened out hooks. (This tournament has a 52 inch opening minimum just to qualify). We think we have a few tricks in our tackle box this year to help us out and have better hooks for this year to avoid any repeat problems. Last year if I remember correctly we went 21 for 24 on the muskies and hope to do even better this year. We will do our best to relay information back to the person in charge of our Facebook page to keep everyone up to date as best as we can so you can follow along.
It’s kind of like the Ohio State-Michigan game of muskie fishing only there are about 60 Michigan teams looking to “Bash” the one and only Ohio team. Too bad we can’t get Mr Tressel to come out fishing with us….
The club has recently opened up a page on Facebook. We hope all the members currently on Facebook will take time to visit and help provide the exposure of OHMC to your muskie fishing buddies. As this can only help the club attract new members and make OHMC even stronger.
The 2011 Open Summer Contest is approaching fast. This event will be held at Alum Creek on July 9th and 10th. We still have tickets available for the beautiful LakeLady custom rod which will be given away at this event, If you are mailing in your tickets, I need to receive them no later than July 6th. Or you may bring them with you to the event. Remember this is the clubs biggest fundraiser for the year so every ticket sold helps the club. Full event details are listed in the July newsletter.
Hope to see you there!

Eight Ohio Division of Wildlife personnel and 3 Ohio Outdoors Writers were guided by 12 OHMC members for a day of musky Fishing.

The 50th Ohio Huskie Muskie Club’s Annual Awards Banquet
By Fred Lederer
The 50th Ohio Huskie Muskie Clubs Annual Awards Banquet was held on March 19, 2011 at the Cherry Valley Lodge in Newark, Ohio. This was our second event at CVL and several people again made comments that this was the best OHMC awards banquet they had ever been to.
