I need a new fishing spot!

I'm not sure if any or all of you will remember this spot. It's been gone for 5-10 years now and i just haven't been able to get as excited to go fishing since...
 
On the PA side and on same road that takes you over the causeway at Pymatuning (maybe 2 miles before the lake...right before train tracks) there used to be this spot that we called the swamps. I think the locals/game commission called it the canal. It was miles of continuous, fish-able shoreline...lots of weeds at certain points....lots of lily pads at other points...tree stumps...etc. There were some huge bass in there. I used to love just walking the shore line tossing senkos and frogs. Probably around 5 years ago, the dam broke and it mostly drained. The rumor was that a guy who just moved to the area trapped the beavers.
 
Does anyone know of any spots kind of like that?...lots of shoreline...lots of cover (weeds, pads, trees)...lots of bass?
 
I'm jones'ing to get back to fishing like i used to, but all of my old spots have dried up or disappeared. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! 

It's funny that you mentioned Buzzard Swamp. My cousin mentioned it maybe an hour after I made that post yesterday. It's definitely on my list!

Buzzard Swamp ? Where about ?

Thanks never heard of or fished it. I'm familiar with Conneaut marsh and Geneva Swamp. Not much fishing time on them either. Hartstown Swamp was a favorite of mine years back when I had a small flat bottom we rowed. Lots of Warmouths , and smaller panfish also there. Bass were around but not a lot of big ones. Seems they keep the water level much lower now then years ago so I would say fishing is not as good plus more thicker vegetation.   

Yea I spent many a day on Hartstown Swamp both fishing and duck hunting over the years. Stayed mostly on the lower end off of Pine Road the last few land dikes. Fishing was good but mostly smaller stuff. Bass ,Crappie ,Pike were around but never any really big ones.
 
Did hear of an 7lb. Largemouth being caught back then. Shot many ducks there mostly Woodies & Mallards. I know they lowered it years ago and never heard much more about it...too bad!
 
Always enjoyed the swamp atmosphere with old dead trees ,brush, and Lilly pads.
 
I think Pitt fan is talking about the canal way up off of Canal Rd. Never fished it so I'm not sure. 

Captain the last I heard of weeds being bailed was at Tamarack Lake and that was before the lake was drained the first time.

Old Dog says he isn't getting a response from the 'PennState Fish and Boat Comm.' so I'm thinking, they are just too busy putting red dye in the water; controlling needed fish habitat with herbicides; testing water to see if it is clear or murky along with the temperature and; catching fish in nets so they can report, great Walleye fishing in PA. 👀

Try Deer Park ! loaded....lol

You guys are hilarious.
