well for one,u are 99% sure not to catch a paddlefish with bait.they are a filter feeder.the only way to catch them on rod and reel is by snagging unless one accidentally swallows ur lure while filtering water,which i have seen before.here are the rules on snagging in ohio:SNAGGING with a hook to pierce and hook a fish in a part of the body other than the inside of the mouth is illegal for all fish except forage fish. In Lake Erie, it is also illegal to snag freshwater drum. Snagging is illegal from September 1 to April 30 in the Ashtabula River, Chagrin River, Grand River, Rocky River, Vermilion River, Arcola Creek, Conneaut Creek, Cowles Creek, Euclid Creek, Indian Creek, Turkey Creek, and Wheeler Creek. Hooks may not be larger than five-eighths inch from shank to point.
LAKE STURGEON The lake sturgeon is an endangered species in Ohio and must be returned unharmed to the water as soon as possible if caught.
the best place to snag paddlefish is below a damn.i do not know exactly the regulations on this in ohio.i know that in kentucky at kentucky lake damn u can snag next to the damn,but yet at barkley lake damn u have to be 200 yds i believe below the damn.
pick up a fishing guide at ur local sporting goods store or walmart,that should have all the info u need on snagging.good luck.
i just recently picked up snagging myself and i really enjoy it.i am still looking for a partner to snag with.
Are there fish in The Great Salt Lake of Utah?
Lake sturgeons are an endangered species in Ohio and can not be fishedSince 1900, paddlefish numbers have dropped dramatically. Excessive commercial harvesting of roe, prevention of reaching its spawning grounds, and general destruction of habitat are among the causes. Today, they are found in the Ohio River and up to the first dam of its major tributaries. Paddlefish are considered threatened not only in the state of Ohio, but throughout the world.
