Anyone been fishing the ohio or allegheny lately? How's the fishing been?



avidangler -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/1/2009 10:42:18 PM)

Alleghenys been flowing hard for the past week or so. It was real off color and about 2 ft above normal today. Also lots and lots and lots of leaves.



Carphead -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/2/2009 1:26:42 AM)

The Ohio is fishing really well starting about 1/2 hr. before dark and going for awhile, although I've been catching fish throughout the day. The Flow is heavy, but theres always current breaks around. The past two nights the fish wanted to see jigs/plastics fished on the quicker side. Use a little bit heavier jighead and reel, jig, reel, jig....keeping it just off bottom.

Lots of fish breaking surface close to shore after the sun goes down. They been running the baitfish all the way to shore so a lot of hits have been coming within 10 feet of the shoreline. Try throwing plastics that are 4" or smaller. Black and white/silver have been hot colors the past week for plastics. Rapala x-raps and small spinners are doing decent for hard baits.

Sounds good carphead.  I'm gonna try and hit up the Ohio next weekend when I'm back home I'll post on the fishing conditions



dewey123 -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/2/2009 10:44:31 AM)

ohio was high and muddy last night used cut bait after dark caught 3 flat heads 6 and 7 pounders. only spent about an hour and a half down there, as carphead said lots of fish jumping near shore, water still feels warm coming out of montour run



Carphead -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/2/2009 7:54:06 PM)

Bigcat, where do you plan on fishing?

Be sure to try some flukes in smoke and some paddle tails. Berkleys realistix power minnows have been producing well too. Don't be afraid to try the 3". They look almost too small, but the fish have no trouble seeing them. They are a little bit bigger than the baitfish that have been close to shore, but are a decent match. The pearl blue shad has been the best producer, but I think they are a discontinued color........I've been having a hard time finding them. If you can't find those, try the black shad or smelt colors.

Good luck and let me know how you did.

I'm probably gonna fish at montour run, I'd like to try the dam, but probably can't get down the side to fish since my knee surgery. I'll definitely let you know how I did carphead

Stopped at the ohio for about 30-40 min saturday and picked up a couple small sauger on a white shallow diving crankbait.  Good to get out fishing again



Porktown -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/17/2009 11:38:56 AM)

Any of you guys happen to get the water temp?  I thought the USGS had that info.  I'll have to search a bit harder.  The flow looks pretty nice to get in a later season wade.



musky hunter906 -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/17/2009 3:45:05 PM)

was on the tarentum pool sunday fish finder read 49 degrees



Porktown -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/17/2009 4:07:48 PM)

Thanks.

You too Moose - I bookmarked that page.  I thought that all of that data was there somewhere.

dewey123 -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/17/2009 10:33:12 PM)

went down last night around 10 pm, couple nibbles on some super secret bait no takers.



Bigcathunter89 -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/18/2009 10:45:16 AM)

I'm gonna try hitting up the Ohio again this weekend.  Might bring a catfish pole and try to get a catfish before they go into winter mode.



dewey123 -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/18/2009 11:53:56 AM)

there are still alot of fish jumping at the mouth of montour run, alot of big ones near the shore. im sure if i had a popper or some lures i would have caught something the other night.



Bigcathunter89 -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/19/2009 9:46:52 AM)

I was using a jig and a realstik and didn't get anything then switched to a shallow running crank and got a sauger first cast.  It seemed like when it started to get a little dark the baitfish were everywhere.



gizmos -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/19/2009 8:59:20 PM)

Hit the Ohio in Leetsdale today, got a couple decent smallies, bunch of sauger and small eyes and two eyes ariund 20". Some big fish crashin around the shore right at dusk. Buddy said he saw a pic of a nice musky taken recently at the mouth of Little Sew. Said it was big and fat !! Anyone hear bout it ?

The pics of that musky was probably the one from this past early spring. That fish was caught twice in three days back in I believe early April. I saw it caught both times and while its been said its 45", thats bullsh1t. Its was a nice sized fish, but not that big. The girth is what makes that fish look so big. I'd say about 32"-34", but the girth of that thing was unreal.......full of eggs I assume. The thing looked as big around as it was long(exageration of course, but big nonetheless). Its funny how fish size gets exaggerated.




gizmos -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/20/2009 9:32:20 PM)

That's possible, although I talked to my bud earlier and he said it was from a couple weeks ago and said it was an easy 40...... But he is a fisherman !! [:D]



fisherofmen376 -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/21/2009 9:58:00 PM)

Fish size getting exaggerated? RU kidding me? That never happens! Yesterday I caught a lunker smallmouth. Too bad I didn't have a camera. That thing was at least 20 pounds...

gizmos -> RE: Ohio and Allegheny River Reports (11/22/2009 2:51:44 AM)

Told my bud he was getting tortured over the size of the musky and he said it's true . thats what the guy at the bait shop told him !!!! [:D][:D][:D]
