Fishing report

Since FishUSA doesn't seem to like us SW Regional folks, I figure that I'll start my own contest...  The winner gets an all expense paid kick in the jeans. 
 
Lake Arthur = Dead Sea.  Had a few bites, but nothing wanted to take a ride in my cooler.  Water temp was cold.  Wind speed ranged from bearable to horrible.  Wind direction was from the SW, W, S, E, N, NW, SE and NE.  Pretty much where ever I went to hide from the wind, within 10 minutes it was blowing directly in my face.  I did get to use my new rod that I bought from FishUSA in December while Christmas shopping for others.  It seemed to hold up fine to the lures and live bait that I was throwing.  One of these days, it will catch so many fish, that you guys will be sick of how many fish it will catch.  MFCGA  
 

 Was gonna go but the township closed the road today & didn't wanna drive around the block. This doesn't count as a report Pork!!  Put a new muffler on the Forester, moved some boats around outback & put one in the driveway. Gotta make more room in the driveway since Timmy is bringing another home he has in storage tomorrow.
 
 Heading to Pymy on Weds.--- Sunday, hope to get my boots wet.

Ah, the good old wet blanket on the first trip to Arthur report.  Woke up this morning thinking I might try to get there in the next day or two to poke around wading.  Thanks for saving me a few hours Pork.  
 
What water temp did you get yesterday?

My "high end" Humminbird doesn't have a temp gauge built into the transducer.  Unlike my cheapo one that I replaced...  It was really cold washing my hands off though!  Once the temps decide to stabilize, game on.
 
I have 3 more months for the donkeys to impeach him on something.  It wouldn't be a smart thing for them to do, but when has that ever stopped a politician?  I have too much tackle that doesn't work.  I am hoping FishUSA sends me some of the stuff that does, with my epic reporting abilities.

Well, since it's a southwest report thread, I guess I can contribute. My two boys and I hit the Allegheny river at Freeport, pool #4, on Sunday. Couldn't entice a single fish with a jig and minnow, though I did have something on and got it up about 4 feet off bottom before losing it. One 18" walleye on a Scatter Rap trolling upriver in about 12 feet of water was released in good health. At 5:15pm Scott tossed out a brand new Bulldog that he'd won at the Musky Club dinner the night before, and BAM!! 5 feet from the boat, a 40" musky nailed it. Little guy had a piece of his left upper lip missin', so it wasn't the first time he'd been caught. After revivin' the fish, he tossed back to nearly the same spot and another Musky rolled at the bait and missed, but the bait went right into a snag. We had to fire the motor to go in and retrieve the lure, but that's about as close as anyone could get to puttin' two muskies in the boat 15 minutes apart. 
The river was just about at normal pool, pretty clear, and surface temp was 40.4 degrees.

Sam if you remember where I told you to fish Wilhelm last year, you'll be putting slab after slab in the cooler.

If you don't remember the location I'd give you the coordinates but they're in a notebook in my boat that's locked up in storage. DAM your luck!!!

Ha ha Sam glad you remembered. If anyone can get em with a minnow in tough conditions, it is you.

Keep an eye on that water temp and watch for that magic number. Won't be needing no minnow on that jig.

Good times and tight lines.👍👍👍

Witnessed one perhaps two people fishing out of kayaks yesterday afternoon, March 30 on Duman dam Cambria co. To my knowledge, fishing there is closed now till opening day.
