I fished the Mon(boat) in New Eagle/Monongahela Friday afternoon til dark.  I saw tons of places to fish from shore in that area and well up river. TONS!
Struck out on the eyes but caught plenty of smallmouth, drum and cats. I had a rod rigged with Gulp minnows/jig and the other with Slimers/jig.  I caught every fish on chartreuse Slimers.
 
Someone needs to go with me and show me what I'm doing wrong on the eyes.

fished the kiski sat got 2 eyes and one sauger about 15 inches and a few bass
all the bass between 11-16 inches and thick they where being awful finicky

tull go with the lightest slip sinker u can and leave 2ft leader w/ lg minnow cast into some current it seems sometimes when it gets slow they want to play w/ bait and the longer leader doesnt let them feel the weight

I have a lazy question that is kind of related. Is Redstone Creek near Brownsville fishable? I drove past it the other day and it didn't look too bad from the road.

Is there anything even in there? I gone by there and wondered, Friday it looked fishable.

I have no idea! Thats kind of what I was wondering, I guess I didn't word it very well after I reread it haha.

Put in at 18th St. ramp in the 'Burgh. Fished for about 3 hours and caught 3 REALLY nice 'eyes (20"-23") on chubs. the coming storm ran us off. Released all the 'eyes, doubt that they would be tasty from that part of the river. For some reason, the smallies do not seem to be as plentiful this year--maybe it's just me.

Tull, troll with a Hot-n-tot in a fire tiger or perch color

Tried that last night 4pm til dark, drug a hot n tot and a crawler harness. One tiny smallmouth. I marked a boatload of fish across from Mitchell PS.

The catching of all species on the Ohio has been excellent for my son and I for the past three months, even when the river was very high. The smallies this year have been exceptional. Biggest predator so far was a 12lb. hybred, what a battle in river current, it took a while for it to be able to swim off on its own, and it lives to fight again

Nice. 12 lb wiper in current is a real drag workout!

On my boat trolling the sharpsburgh pool as i type this. So far landed a few nice smallies and had a strange experience hooking up with a drum tat was being followed and chased by another drum. Swam around te boat the hole time i landed and unhooked its partner. Waiting another ten minutes then hittin one of my fav spots for the big guys. Bucket full of 6 inch creek chub. Ill keep yinz guyz posted.

 
Hope you didn't get pulled in by one of those big ones....let us know how you did.  I have a random vacation day tomorrow and was thinking about heading to Sharpsburg.

Anyone fished the rivers over the last few days?

From the PFC website posted today:

The bite is on for the Allegheny River anglers. Catching of bass, channel catfish and walleye have been reported and observed up and down the Allegheny River. Hot spots seem to be almost anywhere between Lock 2 and Lock 3 on the western shoreline. Hot bait are liver, minnows and worms.

 
went out on the Allegheny on Tuesday and caught a ton of channel cats, 1 smallmouth, but no walleye....wonder what I was doing wrong

Just got back, terrible day, caught 1 walleye 1/2" shy of traveling my digestion system.  Trying to beat the rain, we went around the point to return to the boat launch(southside) and was stopped by the US Coast Guard.  I thought holy crap, who saw me drink a beer?  I was informed the Mon was "closed".  I laughed and said "Why did you really stop me?".  The Coastie said again the Mon was closed.  I thought to myself they must be searching for a body.  I asked why is the river closed.  They said Obama was in Pittsburgh.  I said "One more thing to hate about Obama".  The Coasties laughed and said "We feel the same way."  So I head back up the Allegheny and make a few drifts waiting for the Mon to re-open.  10 minutes later my son and I caught something in the middle of the Allegheny, near the convention center that I guarantee nobody here has caught fishing anywhere.  I can't post pictures until Monday, but look foward to the guesses.  If anyone gets it, they will win an all expenses paid day of Mon river fishing in my boat.

Is it actually a fish, or did you snag something that was dumped into the river?
