Thanks chauncy. Do you fish that area much?

Haven"t fished for a while Paul--hurt my back and am rehabbing in physical therapy. Back in the day when we trout fished a lot we always fished the same local western pa lakes out of a boat and did...

Has anyone fished Green River Lake in Kentucky on a crappie trip? Most of our fishing has been on Arthur and Wilhelm and we are itching to make a few trips that are not too far. Maybe in the fall....

Merry Christmas to you too Chauncy and also everyone on this site!

Congratulations guys--that's quite an honor for both of you.

Do any of you guys who ice fish ever organize a get together? I know they do on Ice Shanty.com in the w. pa. section. If anyone is interested on a weekend get together--lets do it!

Thanks for the info and reports!

Do any of you guys have Brains phone number at BBG? Thanks for all of the help.

What is a decent fish finder-gps combo that I can look at that won't break the bank? I looked through cabelas site and figured that I would have to spend around $500-700 or so. I wasn't sure if you...

Great reports--Thanks guys.

Is there still a Keystone crappie organization in our western Pa area? Used to see get togethers the past few years but not lately.

Excellent article--very informative. I'm a little afraid to try Pymie with a semi-v 14fter, so my fishing has been at Wilhelm. But I;m looking for a 16fter deep v with a 20hp or less. PM me if you...

Thanks, Paul. Also can you run a 15 or 20 hp motor at Wilhelm or is it a 9.9[which is what we have now?]

Thanks, Paul.

Was on vacation this week. Fished Arthur Mon-Wed 2 bass 2 cats a few perch and no crappies in the wood. Then went to Wilhelm on Thurs eve and found some crappies in the trees--buddy and I caught...

I agree with Chaunc--the 6inch is great for most applications. The 8inch is a lot more work, especially when it starts to dull some. The mora 6inch can be bought for around $50 and does a good job.

joe, did you get a new boat?

Thanks, Mike. Probably get out next weekend.

How is Lake Arthur this time of year? Is it too early for the crappies to be in the shallower water? Still learning the seasonal patterns and mostly shore fish but friend has boat and we want to try...

Weather can change rapidly on the big lake so be careful anytime you go out. I have seen boats as small as 14 fters out there, but they did not wander out very far. Be careful and carry all of your...

Use them a lot for trout with good results. A bit pricey, though.

Thanks guys--a buddy brought me a dozen crappies from Canonsburg lake today. They were average size but a great meal for supper!

Anyone still catching any shallow water crappies in the smaller lakes? It seems to have slowed down in my local lakes.

It may be getting late for the shallow water bite--mabe this week will still be ok with the cooler mornings. I am going to try either tomorrow or Wednesday somewhere.

Davy, how good is the crappie fishing at Somerset this time of the year? Do you fish any other lakes such as Donegal or Greenlick Dam? If so, Maybe we can hook up sometimes. I am pretty much all...

Good post S10--we all must try and remember these rules!

Mark, I am also from western Pa and am also thinking of planning a similar trip. I think that it would be worthwhile to try a guide for the first day--I think that would save a lot of guesswork and...

Hope you had a great birthday!
