Good fishing on the Mon

Went down to Monesson for some fishing on the river with my Brother and nephew yesterday. I caught a nice smallie and my brother caught 2 nice walleye and a small bass. My nephew caught a fingerling walleye. We now call my nephew "baitfish"! tried to get a pic on here, but it won't let me.

    Timachro, Can you tell me if you can access the Mon. below the lock at Charleroi? Years ago I used to go through the glass plant property & fish the wall there. But it became unwise to leave your vehicle due to the scumbags lurking around. After losing a hubcap I quit going there. I don't know if you are allowed there or not now,but it was a terrific place to fish.  thanks  sam

    That pic thing is a mess. If you're gonna provide a venue, I would think the provider would see to it that all formats are accepted. I can upload some, but others won't.

    Yes there is access to the lock on the Charleroi side. I park down river of the lock on a side street and walk the path up to the lock. I don't believe there is access at the glass plant any longer. I never had an issue down there.

    I'm not really sure if there is access below the lock in Charleroi. Haven't been there for quite a few years.

    I park at the park up river from the lock, then you can follow the fence line of the glass plant all the way down to the lock. It's a little bit of a walk but not bad.

    +BSLAG     Do you have any idea RE: the depth of the water in the lock area right up against them on the side where the water comes out most of the time? It appears relatively deep near the bottom/flat area? Just wondering.
