Kittaning lock 7

Anyone been fishing whats the verdict. Been quite here few cats nothing any size.

Yeah thats what it come down to.  I fish this very section of river the mouth and weedbeds and you wouldn't believe what people will do.  The other night i was out fishing a rock hump for musky and a boat comes flying by no more than 40 feet.  Mind you i was 200 yards off the channel of the river.  I average 4 or more days a week out here and have been plugging hard since the end of july.  Got one saturday morning and it was the first of the year landed.  Lost 2 more both on figure 8 and just watching them slam baits that close was awesome.  Nobody i talked to has done great by anyones standards with musky down here this year. 

Honestly i have been hooking into some muskie while fishing for smallies throwing 4in worms on spot remover jigheads from the kittanning dam down to the first bridge on the river channel and the pleasure boaters are making it hard to fish out there

I been picking up a few smallmouth

Hello- not looking to be spoon fed, but wondering if one can park on the upriver side of the mouth of CC and cross the RR bridge (or is that now a bike path?) to fish on the downriver side. I assume that Ross Is. is not wadeable.
Any other info gladely accepted.
Thanks.

Ross Island is the island out front of cc.  You can walk across the railroad bridge and fish anywhere along the river.  The creek is all privately owned houses and camps so you would need to fish from a boat to fish the creek.

 
Ross island is the island straight off the mouth of the creek.  You can walk across the railroad bridge and fish anywhere along the river.  The creek front is all privately owned with houses and camps so you would have to fish from a boat.  You can also access the trail from logansport or kelly station.  I see people driving along the trail all the time so the gates must be open.

Well lets see went out at 10 pm wed night fished till Thursday morning and NOTHING I REPEAT NOTHING, not a bite not a run not a nibble. I was using cut bait and gills. I know i can fish since i bought my tracker i have been keeping a log. Of water temps,location,barometric pressures, baits, Graff's on the Dept finder, etc I'll figure it out sooner or later. I know them big Flatheads are their. I lost a huge muskie a day this  week on a buzz bait fishing for bass down at rosston ate 10lb suffix like it was candy. I seen him jump all i can say is dam. I don't know how much more time I'll have on the river with steelhead coming and archery. I hope I'll get my buck Early like every year. Probably why i never shoot a trophy class can't hold out on the big one knowing  all those steel are in the tribs. Once that happens **** on the river i have all summer to****with that. Steel is more fun for me.  I have been throwing tube jigs watermelon and pumpkin seed. My big bass last week came of the k town island on a 4 inch pumpkin.  You been hitting anything.

We got about 6 eyes and a coulple of saugar and acouple of small mouth
nothing big but fun

Congrats on the pigs ryan!!  Any Pics?

Hey avid bish got a huge smallie today with me on a mepps muskie  killer 7 pound 24 inches .I got a small bass nothing big today. Was a hog 4 sure..........

i would love to banana but have no idea how. Have pics on my cell phone. And i know for a 100% fact that it was 7 lbs weighed it on the boga grip and it's dead on.

lol i know right we are all catch and release. took a few pics and sent him back to the depths. Indeed was a monster of a fish the biggest smallie i have ever seen and i do alot of fishing. took a freaking mepps giant muskie killer buck tail believe that one. And my buddy wasn't even fishing bass was fishing skies. Go figure i guess stranger things has happened. my other buddy caught 2 smallies in one day last fall on the allegheny rive one was 6 1/2 pounds  the other was 8 right on the money.

Heres the pic of that monster smallie...
