Me too!

You should do pretty good. Great time of the year to get up there.

I never did real well on crawlers up there. Try finding shiners or chubs in a pond or creek for up there. Never did that great on bought minnies for some reason.

I had two hits from a pike on bass spinnerbait. Good luck! Im heading up on thursday.

Anything that is flashy will work in the murky water up there. Spinners, plugs, they all work. That's why I get fresh shiners from my buddies pond... about 2-4 inches long.... they are the killers. Good luck and post back on how you guys do.

Viper, I think the closest one is in Cochranton not far from the beer distributor. I usually go to Fergie's along Georgetown Rd.

The one in Crawford County PA.

Some of the best fishing around. Try it once and you're hooked because is so different than majority of fisheries in the area.

I called the PGC to make sure and the woman told me that electrics were allowed on all PGC waters unless posted

Skunk City!  The wind was crazy yesterday, current was strong, and it was cold most of the day until about 4.  But to be honest I can't wait to get back up there.  The water was dark, but so clear you could see 8 feet down easily, maybe deeper.  We floated the main channel down near the 79 bridges for about 3 hours, and didn't even see anything.  No bites, nothing swimming by, etc.
 
But then we pulled he boat out and went over near the dam on foot and I did see a few Bowfins, those things are nasty!  They didn't seem interested and then I thew out a frog and just skipped it across the pads and weeds and out of no where one jumped up and grabbed it.  I thought I had him hooked but he jumped off.  That thing was strong though!  It hit like a pke.
 
As soon as the temps get back up, I'm heading back up there.  No doubt about it.
 
 

I know exactly what you mean... its like a different world of fishing the swamp. I probably won't fish it until early summer.. after the spring panfish bites have faded a bit. Bowfins hit and fight like a pike and a bass all in one, its hard to not want to go back and catch a couple.

Agreed Fishin, I'm not sure about 50% but I plan on doing a LOT of my fishing there.  It is really unique out there.  And, honestly after seeing that Bowfin hit that frog the way it did, and that fact that I missed it I have a bit of a vendetta now.  I got to land one of those things!
 
I bet the bass fishing in there is great during the summer.  So much vegetation.  I might try making it back up there next weekend.

Nightfished there one time.. got torn up by the bugs and the booze... the more the bugs bit, the more I drank. How bout it. Didn't have any luck after dusk ever, maybe the lunkers are hanging around till then though?

It can get pretty rough with the bugs.. but you don't notice them when the fish are biting until you get home.

didn't heat to the swamp over the weekend, however, I'm going to try the night bite friday. I'll let ya'll know how it goes
