  • Best Bets for Ohio Fishing
    Best Bets for Ohio Fishing by Dan Armitage Ohio anglers enjoy year-round fishing action, and some months the opportunities are so varied that you need to organize your efforts to take full advantage of them. Here is a state-wide, month-by-month guide to where to find some of the best angling possible for some of our more popular gamefish. JANUARY Bluegills Indian Lake Ice fishermen from across Ohio head to 5,000-acre Indian Lake in northwest Logan County to take advantage of its famous ‘first-ice’ bluegill action. The Lucy’s Pond area is just one of the popular panfishing spots on the lake, which is located about 10 miles northwest of the city of Bellefontaine and is accessible from state routes 33, 708, 117, 366 and 235. Yellow Perch Lake Erie Practically any protected area along the Lake Erie waterfront is a potential spot for ice anglers to catch perch. Sandusky Bay and the main-lake waters west of Catawba Island are popular, as are harbor areas from Toledo to Conneaut. The 30 fish-per-day bag limit in that’s in effect year-round for Lake Erie perch may sound liberal — until a school moves in and hook-ups come as fast as shiners and jigs can be dropped through the ice. FEBRUARY Saugeyes Buckeye Lake The late-winter saugeye bite at 2,850-acre Buckeye Lake in Fairfield County is legendary among central Ohio ice fishermen. Ice often arrives early and usually stays late at this shallow, man-made impoundment located east of Columbus and accessed off state routes 204, 13 and 79.

  • Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition
    Educational Enrichment Summer 2021 Special COVID-19 Addition No school should not mean “no learning.” Keep your kids active physically and mentally this summer by providing them fun, interesting, and educational things to do. This summer enrichment guide has 3 major parts: summer theme suggestions (this year focusing on the out-of-doors and fun at home), websites to find activities and events over the summer months, and suggested destinations within a 2 ½-3 hour radius of St. Thomas More. We are already planning ways to have fun over the summer. Joe has chosen a Hiking theme (our outdoor focus) and Michael has chosen Cooking (fun at home). Hopefully this guide will help your family do the same! Julie Esposito ([email protected]) Summer Theme Ideas Joe informed me six years ago that he wanted to study fossils. Michael, not wanting to be outdone, promptly said that if Joe got to study fossils, he wanted to study bones. Thus was born our new tradition of summer themes. Each child choses a topic and we look for books, websites, activities, events, destinations, and adventures centered around the theme. Other themes we have explored included gardens, forts, insects, airplanes & aviation, astronomy & the night sky, archeology, games, international, and Indians. Here are some of the ways we accomplish this: Check-out and read library books on the chosen topic(s) Search the web for videos and kid-friendly websites Have family discussion on topics related to the theme and family game nights Attend programs/activities offered locally for kids that fit in with the theme Visit places in town or as day trips to the surrounding area that fit the theme Look for ways to incorporate the theme in our vacation travel plans Plan cooking/dining experiences around the theme COVID-19: Did you know that in all the countries tracking COVID-19 outbreaks, there has been only one major identified outbreak outdoors? 90% of outbreak incidents took place in homes, workplaces, restaurants, and indoor gatherings (i.e.
