Bob,
Crooked Creek is the one over by Ford City correct? I've never fished there or Wilhelm, so I am game for anything.
Chaunc,
Thanks for the input on early spring fishing at Shenango. Sounds like Shenango and Lake Arthur are very similar in the early spring, in that the crappie are spotty at best. I just figured we'd have a better chance of catching the bigger "slabs" at Shenango. I know I could put everyone on some fish at Lake Arthur but can't guarantee any great numbers, but if you guys want to go there we could do that.
Zeke,
I picked up two of the inflata-belts at the new Sportsmans Warehouse and they matched Bass Pros price for me. Now I don't have to borrow my buddies when I go to Shenango.
Doesn't matter to me where we go, I'm just itchin' to get the boat out on the water and try out some of my new toys. :D
