Thread: How’s the fishing at Shenango lake?

20 crappies per man per day with a 50 fish panfish limit. The bluegill and yellow perch run pretty small here as there’s no weeds in this lake.

Got out for a full day yesterday. Weather was so nice i didn’t notice how many fish I was catching. Got 10 keeper crappies, 5 over 11”, a catfish, perch, 3 gills and 3 lmb that were short. Started the morning in the low 40’s but ended the day over 60*. All my bigger fish were caught in shallow water. No live bait.

Last two trips out were in the heavy winds. I love fishing this lake because there’s always somewhere to fish out of the wind. And actually catch fish. I limited both days. Jig and bobber and hang glided baby shads on a heavy sinker rig.

Had another good day on the lake yesterday. Wind is relentless here but found some keepers in the protected areas.

chaunc with the lake so low what launch are you using, is the one at the camp ground useable

The lake is down, over 2 1/2 ft. Yes the campground ramp can be used, but the docks were taken out, a couple weeks ago.

I’ve been using the Mahaney ramp and beaching my boat on the right shore. Slower day Friday.
But Tuesday was a better day

Had a good couple days this week. Limit both days. Jig and slide bobber put a lot of them in the box.
