Thread: gotta get out

Anywhere off the causeway or down near the dam would be the first place I would start. Seems that around the bridge would be the best place until the water starts to warm than anywhere around the causeway is good espeially at night once the water warms up. Really like fishing that causeway at night on nice warm spring nights. The causeway becomes it's own little city. How high is the water? Can you get to the walk way on the causeway and stay dry?

well that ended up our choice.south side was getting pretty good wind .able to get under bridge to find that earlier season mini city. water temp was around 40 in 10 fow. we managed a few as well as shoreline crew. didnt venture anywhere else just great to be out fishin w my dad any gabbin some early crappie.

Greg, the crappie bite is slow down here for us but we're pickin up some really good size ones. I'm on my buddy's computer so i can't post pics but i will when i get back to town. Real windy out this morning so we'll get a later start. Have they opened up the lake yet? There'll be some hungry slabs waiting for you guys when they do. Take care. See you next week.

smitty every launch is still closed . water 8 ft over summer pool. might be able to walk down to parkers tmrw. but temp dropping gonna be snow .ugh. well hope ur enjoying ur getaway.regardless of how fishing is goin, it beats work!!!!!!!!!! have safe trip back

Rte 18 and 846 launches are open, rest are still closed. 7 1/2 feet high. Office number 724-962-4384 for daily updates.

You would think, since they have all the gates open, that it would be down more than it is, it has been two weeks since they were first opened. Probably Pymy, and Wilhelm opened theirs too, and it isn't letting Shenango drain down as fast.

I"M BACK......... and this cold weather is killing me. Left there at 60*, got here and it's 20*. Really makes me want to move south. The fishing wasn't great but we had a good time. The lake was high and they were pulling water like crazy. 1/2ft or more each day we were there. We fished the flooded brush and didn't catch any. Brushpiles in 12ft, nothing. The deep water, 15 to 25ft, payed off for us. Jigs hang glided at 20 and minners drifted at 17 were what worked for us. Lots of deep brush where we were. I've already made my reservations to go back during the spawn next month. Hope the lake is more stable then. Here's a few pics of me and T.O.

Glad you had a good time!!! Those look like some really nice fish! Im getting ready to go my boat is up in conneautiville getting a new cover made i pick it up on sat and plan on fishing Linesville on saturday as well!! Those few days of nice weather we had really have me sick of the cold!!! See you soon.
