Usually do ok with crick chubs from shore this time at the Allegheny. Caught one healthy 20incher last Saturday 3-4 pounder. That was the only bite of the day.

Not sure about the alwives spawning. Would be funning to see them do the SPIN on/threw the ice though. There were a ton of shad coming over the **** last week.

What is the ice condition at Arthur? Any open water at all (besides below the dam)? I wouldn't mind doing the old "Honey, I need to go check on the boat"...

Not thinking to actually take a boat out. Just fart around from shore, and break this case of cabin fever!

Picked up 3 nice smallmouth last saturday(2-18); earliest I've ever caught them, but it was probably the earliest I've tried for them. A good lesson learned.

That pretty much sums up river fishing! Any sort of structure (current breaks), bridge pillars, barge tie offs or downed trees, ect. Hot water discharges are nice, but likely only getting that info from PMs. Most are only accessible by boat too, especially the large ones. The shore access near Cal U shouldn't be as rough as it is closer to the town. A lot of fences and posted signs closer to the city.

Got ya, maybe I'll try the pike run mouth in coal center, where I live when Im here. Im used to fishing the susquehanna so im not used to fishing such open water like the mon where there isnt any rapids or anything. Will twister tails, rapalas, or even worms work for this time of year?

Think I may have had my best day of trout fishing ever, numbers wise today at a local lake. They really like the moving water. Lots of beat up nasty lookin little ones only 2 over 13". But a good day none the less, only saw 2 other people out, a nice older couple I stopped and talked to for a minute.
