Lake Aurthur

Looking for some good Cat fishing spots at the lake. We put the boat in at 528 dock. This is the fish I caught a couple weeks ago.... :)

your post is under the right section.. alot of guys fish for em over by the dam have most luck using live bluegills

i got a question about arthur... is it a clear lake? or stained water and are there alot of weeds or should i try to find underwater structure and fish that? ive been on the lake once and plan on makin a few trips down this year

Like Steelys said, the lake is stained and has a good bit of veggies.  Deep structure is always a good place for bait fish to hide and attract the predetors.  I too find this to be my favorite lake.  Although, if I lived in Greenville, I probably would never fish it... 
 
I find Pymie to be a much more productive lake to fish, and would definitely be there more if it weren't a 2.5 hour drive for me.  The panfish are definitely larger on average, and the walleye population besides years when Pymie is having issues, is hands down better than Arthur.  Pymie is bigger, likely more fish, and 1/2 the pressure of Arthur.  The only things Pymie lacks Arthur are the hybrid stripers (which happen to be my favorite) the long inlets typical of a hill land resivoir over a flatter land resevoir, and not as good of a large mouth fishery (per articles that I have read).  I personally would be fishing Shenango the most if it were equal distance. 
 
I don't want to talk you out of Arthur by any means.  Just want to give you fair warning, that Arthur gets a lot of talk, due to it being less than an hour away from about 3 million people.  For as much pressure it receives, the fish are more than willing if you put your time into it.  Definitely worth checking out.

 They are eating machines = great biting = easy to catch if u know their hang outs.

 No problem

Hurry!  I'm leaving soon!

Did anyone else see the floating sun last night?  I couldn't figure out whether it was a REALLY nice setup for shooting carp with bows or it was a fish commission boat possibly electrofishing?  Regardless of what it was, it was pretty annoying.

Besides the moving sun did anyone see the girl in the bikini doing a photo shoot on the dock at bear run friday night?

yea i saw the flamer, very annoying. is it legal to do that.

how old was she 3 maybe 4.

the dog days of August always kill my fitchin. Always seems to be my toughest time of the year. How is everyone else doin? 
 
Fishin poppers, buzzbaits, cranks, texas-rigged soft plastics, and occ. some swimbaits. What have I caught you ask, nothin...
 
August always makes me want fall here sooner. 

Was able to fish the morning for the first time without the boys and finally caught some bass and all were legal. Wonder how that bass tournament went over the weekend. heard there was gonna be 100 boats this past Sat.
