Kahle Lake

I haven't fished Kahle since the ice was on. I hope that they get the dam fixed soon. Has anyone been fishing it?

Haven't been over in awhile.I'd like to hear what's goin on.

We talked alot last year about Kahle but never got together. We should fix that this year. I have some ideas that I'd like to try out on Kahle and it's a long way to haul my boat. Interested in a fishing trip? I just talked to a guy that swears he and his buddy brought 60 crappie out of there last weekend with the smallest being 12" and the biggest 16". He told me where he got them too

good one S.D.. that should open up pyme. & shenango for a while, while the trolls & moochers hit Kahle.

Yea ok..Kahle is good but NOT THAT good 

I never swallow a fish story completely. I've become pretty familiar with Kahle and know what it's capable of and what it's not capable of. I just said that they told me that. I didn't say I believed it. However, they probably had a pretty good catch. Just not as good as they said they did. Either way, it's enough to get me interested. I've never caught a crappie out of Kahle over 14". I'm sure they're in there, but not in the numbers that these guys claim. Personally, I think Kahle is better for giant bulls than  for slabs anyway.

I would say that anyone who said they caught that many slab crappie at Kahle was stretching the truth. I was there about 2 weeks ago and it wasn't anywhere near that good. Nobody I saw or talked to was doing very well. Caught a few perch and bluegill, but no crappie. I have never seen anyone catch that many big crappie, even during the spawn, at Kahle.

 
I agree. Like I said, they were probably stretchin' it. I'd still like to get up there and give it a try soon. I always stick to the same spot up there because it consistantly produces 10.5-11" gills. It's hard to walk away from that. I think next time I go, I'm gonna try some new water and see what I find. I never fish the deeper water up there. I might give it a shot next time.

I haven't kept any from Kahle yet. I actually haven't fished it yet this summer. I'm hoping to go on Sunday. If I go, I'll let you know. My buddy kept perch, crappie, and gills from Kahle 2wks ago and he never said anything about them being wormy, so I'm assuming they were ok.

Ya know, I kept a lot of panfish from Kahle last summer, from June til September, and never once saw anything in my fillets.

If I had any, I'd show you. LOL! I didn't get home until 4:30AM Saturday morning. I cleaned the fish, took a shower, and went to bed. Like I said, we didn't light 'em on fire. If we had caught more, I would have been more likely to take a pic.

I take it you was shore fishing .....or in a boat ? Still haven't made it down that way yet. Would like to get down there but want to use my boat....what ya think? 16' Sylvan......some nice crappies

mopars I have a 16 foot alumacraft I can get it in and out of there with a little work .  You would be fine as long as you dont mind getting a little wet

Thanks RR....going to have to drive down and check things out.....don't mind getting wet but don't want wet and muddy...lol

has anyone been to the north launch in the last week?
 
i went last night and there were fish heads and dead mammal  carcasses floating in the water..what a mess
smells horrible and is a disgrace to nice lake
will be calling the FBC tonight about it.

I'm completely baffled by it honestly.. Just doesn't even sense why that mess would be there.
Made the phone call today to the FBC, would love to see someone get pinned for doing that. Completely senseless.
Everyone likes to complain about gas drilling affecting water but yet there are people destroying their own facilities...
