Fished Tarentum this morning in the rain, the three of us burned through 1.25lbs of fatheads. Lots of super short walleye, a few keeper's too. Caught 2 big cats, and a few smallmouth.

Fished Tarentum again on Saturday with an old army buddy. We caught a few decent walley, lost a pretty big pike at the boat. 

I got out a few days in the past week to Arthur.  Pre-cold front, the night bite was on with bait everywhere.  Cold front moved in and seemed to have very limited bait movement at night.  Possibly some action late, late, but I wasn't going to wait up that late to find out.  I found them during the day, which I'd rather do anyway.  I couldn't find the crappie to save my life during the cold front.  Guessing similar with the bait, the front made the shallows colder and moved deeper.  But I wouldn't have thought they'd leave spawning beds even if cold?  Maybe spawned already?  I found some clear cut beds and nothing on them.  Possibly already pulled from them.  I focused much more attention to the harder pulling fish though, so could have just been the time spent trying to find them.  Thurs-Sat, saw maybe 1-2 other boats each day.  Guessing next few (dozen) times out, I will be jockeying for position with the kayaks, SUPs and pleasure boaters.  Maybe I should just focus on the cold fronts?  Just kidding, the pleasure boaters, kayaks and SUPs don't bother me.  Just like the anglers, if they have a shred of boating etiquette/common sense, all is fine.

 Pork, good thing you didn't wait around. This morning it was the normal (for this time of May) late, late until dawn feeding frenzy for the part of lake I was at.
 
  After a feeding like that the fish lay on the bottom for hours sayin "I ate tooo much"

 Hated when the Leather Backs would do that on the Allegheny fishing from shore. Couldn't get away from them at times.

 The night bite for me the first part of May was always the 3:30 -- 'till dawn. That changes earlier and earlier Until mid July from my experiences. 
 
 Not talking about the Crappie bite.
 

  The Crappie seem to hit good for a couple hours after dark then slows drastically for me. If the moon rises after that they seem to turn back on.
 
  Was nice every first few weeks of May. The reports of the top water action were "they ain't hitting yet." Guys would fish till 12, 1 or up to 2:00 am and leave. I wouldn't go down until 2:00 and always had the place to myself. Still not enough nut jobs out there to fish those hours for a dang fish. Learned that time from all night Catfishing a few years after they started stocking Byrds. Can still remember that first morning of the onslaught of Alewife
