Thread: FYI Shenango

Trouble is getting to the deep water. I refuse to puta boat in now, not enough water for me. I've got a spot that I will try Saturday that has deep water near by. The wind is keeping me off the lake right now. Cold doesn't help either.

Water temp is 37 degrees and lake level is down 6 1/4 feet.

I see they brought in some gravel to fill in the spots around the ramp at Parkers Landing. I knew it was bad but not that bad. The ramp doesn't have anything under the cement pads. You go off the pad on the side and your going to tear your trailer up big time.

Thanks sparkie51 I appreciate the update definitely good to know that about Parkers
i was thinking about heading that way either Sat or Sun water temp should be a couple of degrees warmer I would think that the fish should be moving up off their deeper staging area’s a little anyway
Thanks again for your report

Fished Shenango Sunday slight covering of ice in most area’s, lake was still low, no takers

Looks like the movie " The birds" at the lake. Saw close to 5-7000 gulls around the lake yesterday. They sure are hitting the shad heavy. Water is so low that you can't get to the fish from shore. It's going to be at least another 3-4 weeks for the fish to move shallower if not longer. We need water. Just starting hear the large flocks of swans moving north. Usually when they come through it's about a month later before the crappies really turn on. No really warm weather in the forecast for the rest of the month. Going to take a while to get the water temp into the 50's. These cold nights are killing me. To cold to fish for walleyes and not enough warmth for the crappies to move.

Striper here's the number so you can keep up on the conditions of lake and save yourself some gas money. 724-962-4384.

Thanks Sparkie51 that will help a lot I definitely think your right only if we could get to the river channels from shore it might help
Sunday when I was there saw 4 boats out one boat was jigging for eyes for sure he may have caught 1 while I was there my fiancé said she heard someone say I got one but didn’t hear much after that
Really wish this weather would give us a break

If you want to fish the river channel, then fish at the Tara launch, 846 bridge, Parkers Landing bridge, or even Hopper Road parking area, walk down over the bank.

Thanks S10CHEVY
I’ll take a look on the map that could very well be a good ideal until the weather breaks do you fish it often if so what can I expect to catch there
Thanks

Those are all good crappie spots. I fish them in April.
