Shenango really stinks!

I just got back from shenango and had a really bad day.  Does anybody ever catch any bass there?  We fished for 8 hours, caught 2 bass, and had maybe 4 other bites.  We went all the way up to the stumps and all the way to the 10 horse limit zone. I really like the lake, but other people told me they don't really catch alot up there either. I want to go back because I think the lake is beautiful but would also like to catch some fish.  The only excitement we had was when a squawking blue heron flew out of a tree right above our heads. Scared the crap out of us.

which swimming area are you referring to.  i maybe going there this week for bass.

WHAT ISLAND?

funny how chaunc shows up like superman to save the day.  if anyone can put an angler on fish there, it would be he.  rumor has it that he owns the lake. or he laid it out like jack nicklaus would a golf course.   chaunc, one question, a buddy of mine says that crappie caught in july and august have mushy filets?  any truth?  don't think i ever kept any from this late in the summer. 

Chaunce, just got back in and I was right about bein wrong about you bein right. Somethin like that! I was thinkin about the island(I thought it was!),till I went to drive around it today. Funny how little I really know on there, Although if I dug a trench back there it would be an island! Fished from 7;30-8:30 off the point in front of campground, found some willing biters on the drop from 4 to 9'. Lots of small, but got 10 keepers(threw them on ice)then hit the rip rap for bass till a little after 10. Boated 6 and kept 4 to add in for a fish fry, 2 largemouth 2 smallies. Lost a smallie at the boat that was pushin 19-20" . Man do they pull !

Hoss, I do best with any dark color there,my two go to's are smoke with red flakes and black/blue tail. My major down fall is the spinning gear, they (I) don't have the speed cause 90% of the time they hit and come at the boat. I miss alot due to poor hookset . Enjoy!

Did i talk to you and your buddy at the boat dock? Tuffy boat? I had the red lund.

My wife was with me in our tan Fisher.  I seen the guys in the Tuffy and I saw a red Lund. How did you do?  Our bass club in Clarion is having a tournament on Sunday up there. Trying to find some fish, but not doing to well.  How did you do?  I feel like going to Erie to build some confidence.

Went to shenango 2 straight days. The crappies are feeding heavily on the shad. I put a shad type jig on and hammered the crappies. Lots of small ones but managed to get 41 keepers in 2 days. These fish are fat and full. Some real nice fillets on em. Fished brush in 13ft, near the drop. Lost a dz jigs but i think it was worth it. Heading to erie to do some perchin tomorrow.

Went out of Conneaut, Ohio sunday. The eyes have moved to deeper water and are holding close to the bottom in 75ft. Used the riggers to get down there but only got 2 to bite. Got one, lost one at the boat. Moved in shallower where we got limits the last couple weeks but the whitebass have taken over there. They slammed everything we used. Decided to just do some perchin and took 19 home. Also kept 12 WB with the one walleye. Not a bad day on erie. Lake laid down so well, we drift fished for the perch. They were in 63ft, east of the pack.

sorry guys my spelling stinks and im really tired up there and back is a long day for me!@!!!!!!!

The microspoon bite is starting to heat up now. Casting a 1/64 with a crappie nibble is pulling some nice fish. I fished the blowdowns on the west shoreline and hammered crappies and bass. Smallmouth were slammin the green spoon. No keeper size tho. Candy green rattles worked well on the crappies. Check out the website. www.microspoons.com Some real nice jigheads with sickle hooks too.

I'm coming up tomorrow morning too. Goin up by 846 first and work my way down lake. If you see me, give me a holler.

That was me. Didn't do well there either. Only had 9 keepers all day. I'm gonna fish the bay next time i go. Thanks for the info.

Chauncy, did you make it out yesterday or today? It would be a good day to fish today. No wind and over cast, perfect!

What a day yesterday!! Caught limits of every species on several bodies of water, then I opened my eyes and went back in to finish shampooing the carpets !! Amazing where the mind goes when you lay out in the sun for a couple minutes !! And today looks just as nice. May hit Shenango or Erie tomorrow !
