53rd ANNUAL MAIN EVENT AT PIEDMONT LAKE JUNE 10th AND 11th

It’s that time of the year again – a weekend of chasing giant muskies, gathering for a shore lunch and comradery, and the annual OHMC Grand Prize Raffle drawing!  Our ‘Main Event’ will be held June 10th though June 11th on Piedmont Lake.  This is a two-day event and will run from 5:30 AM Saturday through 2:00 PM Sunday.  All fish must be turned in to the Tournament Director by 3:00 PM Sunday via text message (cell phone number provided the night before the event), or in person at the Reynolds Ramp parking lot.

Scoring will be based on the points system with each fish 30” or greater getting 4 points for the fish and additional points for every inch over 30”.   For example, a 42.5” fish would earn 4 points plus 12.5 points for a total of 16.5 points.  The winner will be the highest total points for the weekend. First and second place will receive trophies at the 2024 banquet.

Back by popular demand, OHMC will be hosting a shore lunch on Saturday at 1:00 PM.  We plan to have hotdogs and hamburgers and welcome any side dishes.  Drinks will not be provided.   When registering, please mark if you plan to attend the shore lunch and if you will have any guests to ensure OHMC provides enough food for everyone.  Lunch will be provided at Reynolds Ramp but is subject to change.

The entry fee will be $20 with a $5 big fish entry pool.   Proceeds of this event will help fund the OHMC’s contribution to the Minnow Fund.

Piedmont currently holds the state record.  Will you land Ohio’s next state record?  Come join us for an awesome weekend of fishing and events to find out.  We look forward to seeing you all there!

It will be found on our social media so be sure to follow us on Facebook (Ohio Huskie Muskie Club Inc) and on Instagram (@ohiohuskiemuskieclub).The identifier must be printed off or handwritten. No fish submissions with a virtual identifier will be accepted (i.e., cell phone image of identifier, edited images overlaying identifier, etc.).
  • Fish submissions not on a bump board or without the correct event identifier present in the picture will be disqualified.

 

Ice Breaker Results

The water was dirty, the wind was brutal, but that did not stop a select few from braving the day in search of that 57” monster living within the depths of Salt Fork Lake.  All it takes is just one more cast or one slight adjustment to your trolling pattern to land your next personal best.

Water was covered, shores were casted to, bait was searched for, but the fish just did not want to cooperate.  It wasn’t for the lack of trying, though.  While no fish were caught, the Minnow Fund did receive a new donation of $105, thanks to the Big Fish Pool.

 

We look forward to seeing everyone at the next event.

ICE BREAKER SATURDAY MARCH 25 AT SALT FORK LAKE

The first OHMC event of 2023 will be the Icebreaker at Salt Fork Lake on Saturday, March 25th.  If all goes well, we will not actually have to break ice to get to open water.  April 2022, ODNR performed an electroshock survey and recorded a 57” monster, as well as a 53” beast! One of these two fish might just be your next personal best Muskie. If helping to contribute to the Minnow Fund isn’t enough of an incentive to come join us, then landing one of these giants will be.

The is a single day event which will run from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, Saturday.  The winning fish must be at least 30 inches or greater.  The 1st place winner and any ties will receive trophies at our 2024 Banquet.  All fish must be turned into the Tournament Director by 6:30 pm at the Old Marina Boat Launch parking lot or via the cell phone number provided the night before the event.
