I can't keep these things off my damn hook.

Go to firemans beach, right off the dock, take 2 rods, catch small perch on the bluegill, and put them on the big rod and wail it out there. Nothing else really involved. Every time I've done this, I've caught at least 3. I hate those fish, they growl at you.

Status: offline 		I hear you.  I really want to catch one too, but I live in Union County and it seems like every single place is far away to fish for them.  I go to Erie a few times a year, but I am not going to spend time trying to catch bowfin when I can be catching steelhead.

Black Moshannon is close by and I have fished it once.  It is very difficult to fish due to the vegetation.  I think if I went again I would rent a boat.

indsguiz mentioned them being there.  I know they stocked them there at one point in time and if you look at the F&BC website, they did catch some there recently during electrofishing.  I guess I will take your advice and fish from the bridge.  I am assuming you are talking about the bridge over by where you rent the boats.
