Chet, come over to western Pa and fish Shenango lake for a few days. There’s plenty of places to stay within fifteen minutes of the lake and most are a straight shot to the lake. If you don’t use live bait it’s good. If you need minnows or worms and can’t bring them with you, you’ll have to cut into your fishing time to get some here. Closest place is at least twenty minutes from the launch, each way. Great shop tho. Five points is the place. It’s on the Ohio / Pennsylvania border. Using plastics and nibbles will produce as well or even better. The bite is great at this time of year. Lots of big crappies and bass. Lots of blowdowns on shorelines and shallow and deep brush piles are placed each spring by the COE. If you decide to come, let me know and I’ll help you find a few spots.
