Anyone hitting the 3 rivers???

Anyone fishing the fall bite? I did Emsworth last week and didn't do as well as I thought I would have. But, that's fishing. Couple of bass, sauger. I haven't really been out much last 2 seasons because of work. Going to flip rivers today and try motoring around the pigeon creek area on the Mon.

My son and I hit the Ohio yesterday. We caught and released (approximately) 12 walleye, 4 sauger, 6 smallmouth and 1 sheephead. A good sign was one half of the walleyes were not legal,close but no cigar. Never saw another boat or anyone on shore. 

Now that I got my archery season wrapped up, I'm planning on giving it a shot sometime this week after work.  I will report back if I make it out.  

Ed, A couple of friends of mine just came back from the Tionesta region,they said the fish were on fire. They got a mixed bag,including Muski & Northerns. They said they got real nice smallies every where they went. btw how did the bow season go?  sam

going to possibly try to get out on my boat one last time during the week.
 
Sam bow season was kinda slow, best day of the season was yesterday I seen 4 shooters.

Hit the Allegheny yesterday after work for a few hours and it was pretty good.  I was fishing an undisclosed location in Pool 2.  I just had my waders and was dunking some bait, but I did manage to catch about 7 or 8 walleyes (Between 12-17") before getting too cold...Had a bunch of less fortunate fisherman (Without Waders) huddling around me trying to get their lines over top of mine; that was fun. (Not, but no point in getting worked up)
 
One of the other guys fishing below me did manage to catch a very nice, solid  7 /8 pound walleye.  I was almost chuckling to myself out loud when I saw what he was throwing (1 & 1/2" Rapala Trout Lure); but hey it obviously worked for him.
 
He was pretty jazzed about catching this fish and hooted and hollered to his buddy about this being the biggest fish that he'd ever caught!  So they strung it up on a rope and continued fishing...
 
As I was leaving I offered him up some congratulations on a nice catch and wanted to take a better look at the fish.  He was eager to show it off too me, so we ambled over to where he had his stringer staked into the ground; and much too his dismay-his prized fish had pulled the stringer loose and escaped back into the river... He was pretty bummed out, but oh well. 
 
(I personally don't like to keep the big female fish out of the rivers, but I won't condone or look down on anyone who chooses to keep a fish within their legal creel limit.  It's a shame too because that fish will probably end up dead now anyways...)

Awesome fish!

I didn't see him until about 3/4 of the way through the fight. I just saw that tail and adipose come up and was quite surprised I still had it on. Hooked right in the lip.

Nice catch fishinguy !

HaHa, that's a good attitude to have, glad it worked out for you. I passed up trying the Freeport Area of the Allegheny on Saturday and opted for Moraine instead, ended up with a handful of good perch, but I'm thinkin' the river would have been a better choice.
