I was wondering the same thing. The weather has been great. I fish at Sharpsville Lake in Mercer County. I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Just wondering if anyone is seeing any signs of spawning fish yet?

Welcome Nellycab to crappie.com and the Pa boards. The lake you are referring to is Shenango Dam, the dam itsself, is in Sharpsville.
Yes... just an old habbit calling it that. Have you seen any signs of spawning yet? I am ready to go but I think it's too early.
Crappie are being caught. Seems the best time is afternoon evenings. Fish we have caught do not have eggs or sperm. So it must have happened already, or at least for some of them. We were fishing at RC's Marina with a neighbor who docks their pontoon boat there. Want to take my boat soon and check some other areas too, to see if its the same other places, plus to see if there is a problem with the motor.
I think the temp is going to drop a lot this weekend. Do you think I will have any luck trying from shore with the colder temps? I may try regardless.
Fished old tent city last evening and got about 15. Kept 4 and they had eggs, but they weren't ready to explode yet. Should be in early may I think. Anyway, the fish are hittin, it's just that the big ones aren't close to shore yet. I hope to be out this weekend.

The fish at Shenango wont start spawning till mid-may. All my log records indicate that. Fish can be caught from shore tho. Just got back home from Ky lake so i'll check shenango out by the weekend and post current results. Smitty
hey chaunc; glad to see ya back home. been fishing mosquito and it's been slow going, some eyes and a few crappie. talk to soon. gary
There's severe weather coming thru Ohio so i put my Ky. trip off for a few days. Went to squito this morning and hammered some slab crappies and also got a real nice eye. I've got reports that the crappies are on the banks NOW at shenango. I guess my log book was accurate :D , as i said in a previous post, mid-may. Guess i'll go up in the A M , and see for myself. Dont have to be back at work till the 31st. see ya!Originally Posted by stump jumper
