I've been getting crushed at a new job and haven't been able to make it down your way nearly as much as I'd have liked this year.

Man! How are you doing? I was wondering why I haven't seen you on the river. Let me know when you want to fish, alot of the guys at our last outing says this time they want to fish instead of eat and drink.

Just so you know, I use to catch walleye like this all year around on the Yough back in 70's then something happened and started catching small ones or barely legal in the 80's, in the 90's they started to pick up size again, then early 2000's was small again, and last year, started catching 20 plus inches, but last night was the icing on the cake. It was a matter of finding them. Last year there were several 29 and 30 inches caught near West Newton and Layton. Mossy Oak's buddy pulled out a 27 inches.
 
2 weeks ago I ran into 4 guys that one had a 10 pounder on the stringer, it was a hawg! He told me that he lost 2 that he thought was bigger than the one he landed.
 
Trout are nice to catch, and catchin big smallmouth are fun, but nothing better than eating walleye in my opinion...other can disagree, their choice.

How where the bats!  Last time I fished that in the evening they were horrible.  MO your married again so your out of the loop.  Unless you have Cherry juice for us all!  Do you even know where the river is these days MO.

I am going to guess he caught them on crawlers.

Status: offline 		Ax, somebody asked about where to get minnies in the area.  I know years ago I would get them at the little bait shop by the ballfield in Smithton, but they haven't had them in a long time.  Anywhere else to get them coming from 43/ I-70 area.  And early in the AM to boot.

Status: offline 		Not real sure.  The bait shop in Smithton closed a few years ago.  Now all they have is a convience store that sometimes sells bait.  Or as I call it the inconvience store because everytime I go in there they have nothing.  Best bet is to get them and bring them with you.

I know that Shad lure in West Elizabeth has them all the time and they open around 6 AM.  Real nice guy too.  There is a little bait shop on 51 north right past brunswick the bowling center. She usually has nice bait but isnt open all the time.

Another great choice is to go to West Newton and get them.  I think the bait shop is in the Yough Canoe Outfitters.  Great guys and I am sure they have minnies.  Ask Small hook too.  He seems to always be getting minnies.

Only using crawlers for them, the bigger and fatter the better.
 
I have only dealt with 3 for shiners this year,
 
Betty's on RT 51, her shiners do not seem to last very long in the water.
 
Yough Outfitters are mutliple sizes and last a long time in the water.
 
Shad Lure is the place to get them, you can get some big ones and they last a long time in the water.

Don't use shiners anymore, I just go out in the garden and pluck them crawlers up.

I get crawlers at the Speer's Exxon.  Nicest around , but $3.17 a dozen if you could believe that.

Status: offline 		Oh, speaking of the ballfield, I was fishing near the bridge in May, and there was a group of hoodlums throwing rocks/boulders towards me from atop the bridge.  Just a bunch of early teeners getting their jollies.  I let it go for a while, then got Pizzed off and started out of the water.  They high-tailed it up the tracks.  Little varmint's.

Status: online 		haha on the fly is a real classy place.  i called last august to see what time they opened as i wanted to get some nightcrawlers for smallies...  he said, i dunno, just call tomorrow morning.  down there around 7am, obviously called and woke him up, came out, and unlocked the doors and pointed to an old glass door refridgerator in the back.  there were two worm containers in there, i claimed one, gave him $2 and was on my way.  ran out of bait hours later and decided it was time to just fish with flies instead of waking up the fella from his afternoon nap! 

i wish tackle unlimited was open earlier, it's right on my way to the yough.

If you are going past Tackle Unlimited on your way to the Yough then you drive right past Shad Lure and I know they open early.  Shad is right down the road from Tackle Unlimited.  If on Ridge Road going toward South Park make first left after crossing 51.  Follow this little road down there a ways and you will see Shad Lure on your left.  I will find out road name if you need it as I drive past it everyday coming two and from work.  Great little bait shop.  Personally I think they have nicer bait than tackle unlimited.
