SHENANGO RIVER LAKE 2015

btdt....try trolling nano divers over the humps and cribs.  Did great last two outings up there.  I was supposed be there today but my back went out and I am in no condition to sit in the boat all day.  best of luck to you!

Thanks guys, was just great to get back on the water.
 
Marco sorry to hear about your back, that has to be miserable and after fishing yesterday I would agree, best to rest to play another day!
Wishing you a quick recovery.
 
Captain hook, 6:00 am...........     seriously?     Was hoping to see some action in the evening, did see several small pods of what I think were shad feeding on the surface but no "water busting" by anything.    Maybe try it again this evening and stay a little later under the moon.  Might even try trolling some new lures I picked up at the bank yesterday, they come in size one, size five and, and colored similar to the water.   Sorrry couldn't help myself.
 
Gotta get.  

Also I  was checked twice...once on the water and another at the dock. The guy at the dock had his lights shining at me and i could not see the dock....I hallered for him to shut his lights off but noooo....almost ran a guys bobber over that was fishing in the handy cap area....what a jerk

yep....like glass....no fish too I bet
 

NIGHT OPERATION AND LIGHTS
All vessels must show required running lights between the hours of sunset and sunrise and during periods of restricted visibility, such as fog and heavy rain. A sailboat operating under power and sail must display the proper running lights for a powerboat. Navigation lights are restricted to the colors red, green and white. No lights of any type except for the required navigation lights may be displayed. Navigation lights are designed to identify the type of boat and its situation (underway, direction of travel, at anchor, etc.) on the water. Boats underway include drifting boats. Night boaters should carry spare bulbs, fuses, batteries and a flashlight.
The navigation lights required for boats are determined by the boat’s length and whether it is powered by machinery, sail, paddles or oars.

A very nice waterways patrolman explained this next law to me around 10:30pm on Pymie one night.   Heh heh hehhh.... ooooops!
 
 
DOCKING LIGHTS: It is illegal to use docking lights, while underway, except when docking and the boat is traveling at slow, no wake speed and is within 100 feet of approaching a dock, a mooring buoy or the shoreline. A docking light is a flood or spotlight type of light permanently installed or permanently mounted on a motorboat that is used to illuminate a boat’s forward course of travel.

Beautiful Captain............  but, I still ain't gettin my donkey outta bed that early in the morning....... at least not yet.

11:00 A.M....yikes ...try 5:30-6:00 A.M. might have some better luck....11-12 pm is never a good time.

Set the alarm for 5 am.................. AM as in morning?  Nap time at 12 pm
 
 
 
PS. What's an alarm?

The only problem with your excuse; I didn't think of it first.:-P

Do these pictures mean ya had some good luck and remembered where ya left your camera?

Ya know what they say about the two signs if getting old 1. Your memory begins to fade and 2; ummmm, huhh I seemed to have forgotten.:-\

Nice pics. as usual except for, that nasty looking dude in the one.:-D

 I think that camera is history, but you know me and my pictures, I have an older spare. Shenango is like fishing in a giant pea soup bowl..... man that green stuff is bad. On another note Lake Erie is so high that the mouths of all the creeks are backed up with high water and little current. You go up stream above Rt. 5 and the creeks are a trickle !

Glad you got into them chauncy....haven,t been there in 3 weeks.  Hoping to catch some eyes for the freezer tomorrow.    fish on
 

                                     

****SHENANGO RIVER LAKE UPDATE****
CLARK — John Kolodziejski, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at The Shenango River Reservoir, said the boat that two waterfowl hunters were using was recovered after it capsized around 7:15 a.m. Wednesday, near the Parker's Landing boat launch.
Kolodziejski said that the unidentified hunters were both wearing the required lifejackets, and were able to make it the shore, adding that one of the gentleman was waiting by his truck, while the other had not been able to make it further than the shore. Kolodziejski explained that exhaustion from swimming in the 50 degree water was the cause.
Kolodziejski said that South Pymatuning Township Volunteer Fire Department dispatched its utility vehicle, which transported the man on a stretcher from the shoreline to the awaiting ambulance crew from McGonigle's, who then transported the man to a local hospital for observation, but believes that there were no injuries.
"Had they not been wearing the required lifejackets, we may be facing a completely different scenerio," Kolodziejski said by phone mid-morning Wednesday.
Pa. Fish and Boat Commission waterways conservation officers also assisted.

No. It's at the other end of the lake.
