It's May 9th and we've had a week of incredibly nice weather. Water temps. have reached mid 60's during afternoon.
If that right there is not enough info. to make someone go out and do some fishing, then in my humble opinion that person is not much of a fisherman and does not deserve to be given much info.
I don't know of any major wiper busting activity yet, I will say that. I will also say that there are many different species of fish being caught in lake Arthur and probably every body of water in the state. Get out and fish and find out.
Sorry, really not trying to be a jerk, I've helped plenty of people out and don't mind doing it. But it does bother me a little bit that someone would complain about lack of info. being posted on a website. The few guys who go out early in any season for any type of fishing, do so because they know when it first heats up the fishing will be well worth all the skunked trips they have made before trying to find fish. It's not fair to those guys who put out the effort to be there when the fishing is hit or miss, so maybe they can get into some fish with nobody else around, only to have someone just go and blab to everybody on the planet.
Go Fish somewhere
i really dont think its fair to tell everyone to "get out and fish and find out". granted there may be some abusers but i think most of us have allready been out and about at this point. my fishing season started in february and thus far i have been to turtle creek, twin lakes, northmoreland, virgin run, dunlap, loyalhanna lake and creek, laurel hill lake and creek, greenlick, bridgeport, quemahoning, up and down the whole yough, the mon, mahoning dam, glade run, arthur, connoqenessing and probably a couple others i forgot. according to my log book im fast approching 200 bass allready for this year, 100+ trout, a couple walleye and misc other fish in smaller numbers.
fact is ive been out to fish quite a bit. i have also postd on here many times where i fish, what i fish with and what i caught. this paranoia about people crowding spots is lame. i believe i read somewhere this state has more fishable waterways and lakes then any other state. if not its gotta be damn close. none the less i think if someone happens to be in anyone hole there are plenty more to choose from somewhere else. i dont know about anyone else but i want other people to catch fish. i like to see other people have a good time. three days ago a guy pulled up to the conny while i was there and asked if i did any good. i told him i was slamming smallies on watermelon and red flake gitzits. he didnt have any so i gave him a handfull and a bunch of tube inserts and i went and fished the same hole with some guy i never met before and we both caught a bunch of fish. dude was so pumped that at one point we both hooked up at the same time and he screamed out "double". i have tons of situations where ive done that before and tons where someone has done it for me. the older i get and the more i see ignorant people the more it tickles me when i see people be nice and te more it makes me want to be that way also.
look im not saying anyone or everyone should be like me and be so forthcoming with info they have on hot spots or give away lures to people to catch fish. hell i dont expect anyone to tell me where thier hot spot is at all. but if someone cant even be so courteous as to simply tell someone if the bite is on or not then thats pretty sad. especially since some of us have to drive pretty damn far to get to some of these places. i dont think any of us are asking for fish in a barrel, just a fighting chance.
actually, why does this forum even exist if not to provide some insight into whats going on fishing wise in southwestern pa?
and dont worry im not targeting you on this even though i quoted your post. although truthfully your post was the basis for my rant. ive seen you post great information on here before. i know it can be frustrating when it seems like you know where its hot and nobody else does or vice versa. all i can say is what goes around comes around so i just try to "pay it forward".
