Thread: Shenango Lake

Fished this morning for 3 hours and nothing. Water level is rising. With the rain coming the next few days the water level should be high enough that shore fishing will be pretty hard to do. Still some ice on parts of the lake. Looks like it may be close to Easter before we get any kind of substainable bite if than. Long range forecast aren't looking to promising with highs in upper 40's--- 50's and lows in the 30's. Water temp 37 degrees.

Well you tried. Saw yesterday that Easter weekend isn't going to be too nice either.

Tough first day on shenango for me. Caught over twenty crappies but all but 7 were too small. I'll find those bigger ones before the week is over.

What a difference a day makes. Bite was good and strong this morning. Caught fish for 4 straight hours. Landed 32 and missed quite a few runs. They would bite only when the wind blew, once it settled down they stopped biting. 4 foot down over 6-9 foot drop off. A few you could call keepers but most were in the 7-10 inch range. All were males.

Here's the pic of the crappies i got that day.

Were they white or black crappies?

Whites

Congrats on your catch

Sounds like you waited too long to get started on the boat work. You're going to miss the best part of the spring season with all that work.

Sparkie, good job. I was by the lake today, and saw all the ice is gone. I think they will be putting in the docks next week. Seen the commission boat is sitting at the campground area.
