Status: offline 		I caught my first boat wiper this weekend.  Possibly the smallest wiper in the lake though.  Spent most of the day pulling night crawlers through the water with not much response.  Maybe a hit an hour, and all hit behind my back hook.  Any harnesses that I added a stinger hook to, were left alone...  I hate trolling!!!  Sometimes it feels like I'm never going to score.  I mean, it's like...   That old dude, he must have scored 1000 times.  It's just not fair.  I'm never going to score.

I am sure it was stripers driving Alewives up on the sandbad and gorging on them.  It was around 6:00.  I didn't fish as I wanted to get out by dark with the Pontoon.

Status: offline 		I saw this same thing a few years ago.  It was at the other island, by the boat rentals.  I was on a rental boat with a friend, and were casting right into it.  Only managed one nice size small mouth though.  I'd imagine once the bait fish are cornered like that, just about any game fish in the area that is big enough, will take advantage.  Was one of the coolest things that I have ever seen.  Would have been nicer if I could have "matched the hatch" though!

I'd imagine the cooler temps should get just about every fish biting a bit more now.

Status: offline 		I saw the same thing 2 days ago. had the little guys fishing for gills by 528. tons of baitfish and the big fish were gorging. the boys did well and caught alot of gills but man that was some serious activity. didnt bring the gear I needed but the boys sure had fun. its funny watching my boys set the hook and play out the little fight. They make it look like something huge is on the other end. even had a couple gills jumping like smallies.shut off around 6 pm.

Surface temp was around 56 degrees.

I thought they'd be putting on their feed bag, with the cold front moving in.  I'm guessing that I was a few hours late.  It felt like I was on Lake Erie around noon when we decided to call it quits.

Only saw 3-4 other boats.  I guess we didn't get the memo...

Status: online 		Yea, I thought the same. I at least expected a walleye or two.....perfect conditions for them. I had a ton of water in my boat after I pulled the plug at the dock. I was at the dam area and can't help but wonder if I would have done better around 528.

Status: offline 		I spent most of my time on the 422 Road Bed in 10-12 FOW.  I marked a bunch of fish hanging off the edges, but must have had something else on their menu than any of my hooks!  Did see an alewive floating, but didn't act fast enough to grab it.  Also saw some gulls working overhead, but not diving.  The surface was too rough to notice any breaking.

Status: offline 		Recently the New Castle News talked about new access areas on the Shenango River near New Castle.  Does anyone know where these may be and how to get there. I would like to wet a line but am unsure of my legs due to Diabetic Neropathy.  Any help would sincerely be appreciated.

Status: offline 		Fished @ Moraine Sat. Nov 8th from about 1 pm until 5 pm.  Weather was half decent although relatively windy; water temperature was 50 degrees.

Launched out of 528 and fished around the bridge area.  Drifted bait (shiners, fatheads, nightcrawlers) without much luck.  Only managed 1 small perch there.  Set up and trolled from 528 bridge up to Nealy's point-trolling a Super shad, #5 shad rap, & reef runner-zero bites and not too many fish marked on finder!

Big surprise of the day came around 4:30 while fishing below point--was drifting bait and girlfriend yelled that she had a big fish on! She tussled with a large fish for about 5 minutes before bringing it to the boat.  I was certain she had a big channel cat on; but boy was I surprised when she pulled a large hybrid strip bass to the boat!!  We snapped a few pictures before releasing it--no official measurements but I would guess the fish was around 25 inches and a healthy 8-9 lbs.  I will try to post a picture once my girlfriend sends me them!

Other surprise of the day was the sighting of a bald eagle.  I didn't know that there were any around here, but I clearly saw one in the area adjacent to Nealy's Point!  He soared overhead and landed in a tree for a few minutes--what an awesome sight, wish I could of gotten some pics of him.

Anyways, all in all not too bad of trip for November.  If the weather permits I might try to keep the boat out and make one last trip up there before the ice comes...
