Good news .....guys were lucky. Pymatuning has taken a few duck hunters over the years.

next to the 10 hp area beside the old rr tracks

lmao..would love to be there but the rut is on!...good luck...can't wait to hear the report..i am sure it will be good!

                       Hey fellas I'll have a camp fire going on shore for us, I'll be the guy roasting a baloney sandwich on a stick.
 
 
                        
 
 
 

Nothing as long as it fits in my ice shanty,  I take the seats outa the boat that shanty should fit right in there!  And no, you can't have the seats for your boat renovation project because, I'll be needing them to fish NEXT WEEK when it's 70 degrees and sunny!
 
 
 
See if I let you pick the day to fish............EVER again!!!
 
 
By the way, I did invite the Captain and I think I can still hear him laughing.
 
 
 
PS. Don't bring any crawlers I have three doz.

Why quit when the fish are biting?  Caught some PIG crappies today on flotilla de BTDT.  Other than the fact that some jackholes pulled the floating docks a month early (global warming, hello?) we had a great day.  If the sun hadn't gone down so fast my wife would have had to cook herself dinner... we'd still be out there.  Got to meet team Chauncy also.  Saw maybe 10 boats today.  
 
Thanks again BTDT!  Appreciate you hosting so I didn't have to drag my boat way up there.  We'll talk about that "garage sale off your boat" thing in the spring.  
 
ps - for all you guys who wasted today in the woods hoping to skewer bambi, or harvest an inedible poop tasting turkey, good on you.  Though the buck you were after tried to suicide on my car driving up rt19.  
 
Zelie "those are all black crappy but this one" Sam

Need the mods to change BTDT to "Whitey" for all the white bass he caught.  There's no doubt he outfished me; that boy can work a jig.  But I out-crappied him, and that's good enough for me.  Quality of fish on Shenango is really impressive, especially compared to Arthur.  Two lakes couldn't be more dissimilar though.  If you show up at Arthur and try to fish the same way you do on Shenango, you're going to spend a long frustrating day pulling weeds off of your jigs.  Pro-tip.  :)  
 
Oh and by the way... some of those white bass could have been small wipers for all we know.  Because you need to be a fricking biologist to tell the ****ed things apart.  We'd probably have kept a few of the bigger ones, including the one that ruined my thumb with his razor-gills, but who wants to pay a fine because you failed to count "tongue patches" right?  Whatever the hell those are.  
 
Also... two sticklebacks in my bait bucket Pork.  We thought of you every time I netted one.  One went into the lake for constantly swimming into the net, and one went in my fish tank.  Naming him "Li'l Pork."  Until the catfish eats him, anyway.  

Shenango River no place like home ..............

chauncy,  just curious..do you ever target eyes?  or just crappies all year round?

No turkey leftovers today boys ! Fresh late November Walleye headed for the grille ............23"
 

Your too much Walcat.......LMAO !  Time to chase those Deer for a short while. I'm not as lucky with the buck kills it's been awhile for me. Only go out a few days and hunt, just love my fishing too much .......good luck hunters !

And the fish are bunched up good. Headed up in the morning if the wind isn't too bad.

I got out today for about five hours. Caught and released over 50 fish. 3 smallies and 2 largemouths included. I kept seven to fry for Pattie. One big whitebass and six crappies. That should be enough for her.

I heard the same report Chauncy , fish are stacking up in big schools. Lots of shallow islands and rock piles popping up with low water. Old Xmas trees everywhere. Wonder if pieces of that plane that crashed in there that one Winter will show up too ?

They pulled most of it out after it happened. They said some guy committed suicide years back and decided to dive his plane into Shenango Lake right around the Christmas holidays.  I personally seen it after the crash . It was half buried in the ice on the east side of the lake tail pointed straight up. Anybody driving North across the causeway could see it. Poor guy must of had some serious problems. Wasn't the only tragedy on that lake over the years. Two young guys died in a ultra plane one summer while flying over the lake. They crashed and were unable to get unstrapped and both drown. Had a young guy killed atop the Mahaney RR trestle years ago (60's) was hit by a train while high diving off the top with a bunch of friends. I personally knew this guy and it was a sad tragedy. I still see a few high divers now and then off the trestles .....crazy !
