Took home some pretty good crappies this week. Deep brush paid off good. Jigs and nibbles.

Ken thank you for your report.
Brock no need to say how great those pictures are, they speak for their self.
Also, thanks for finding that hook, It must have washed through one of the sluices. I lost it when I snagged in a brush pile Crappie fishing. lol.

Me and my two boys hit Shenango yesterday for 9 hours. Another busted day. The huge clouds of baitballs were gone; my oldest thought we were lyin' to him about last week! LOL! Only sporadic markings of fish everywhere we went. Where'd they go?? We started out pulling harnesses tryin' to trigger or locate something, we trolled shallow on the breaklines and worked out to the deeper water. We fished from the Clark launch all the way to the dam and back up, and in the late afternoon from Clark the other direction up to the islands and back, but managed only 1 largemouth and one 13" white bass. There were a few other boats out there, most of them anchored. We saw two small white bass landed, but I don't think anybody was settin' records anywhere. I'm really gettin' discouraged about Shenango!

Don't know why you can't catch even crappies. In three days including today, I've caught pretty close to 150 crappies, whitebass, gills, and perch? A lot of the crappies are eleven inches and better now. Been having trouble posting pics lately or I'd show some of what was kept.

The Crappie King has spoken better listen up !
Your right the surface bait has disappeared.
Mitch, I got to agree Shenango has been real tough on the bigger fish for me too.
Seems like the Walleye and Stripers have lock jaw for me past few years.
A few Catfish and Largemouth and a bunch of White Bass over Spring / Summer
We use to catch big Stripers steady......no more ! ??????

Chauncy, I recon we could have caught "crappy" and perch had they been the target fish, but we were lookin' for critters that have teeth. Me; I'm primarily a walleye hunter, but the boys go after most all species, but I'm worried about the youngest. He's so into muskies that he's startin' to make his own lures with plastic casting equipment and a mini wood lathe he bought. I think I've pretty much lost him as a walleye fisherman.

Okay. Don't worry about your boy. It's all good. He make you some custom walleye lures some day. So you tried the humps up by the sandbar and still nothing, huh? What size cranks were you trolling? My buddy is using number five and seven shadraps and doing great on the stripes with a few eyes mixed in too. Hope you do better next trip there.

Are the shad dying off in the Shenango or other lakes? Looking at that belly, I am assuming yes?
Nice fish and photo as always Cpt.!

Fred, guess what it's a selfie .....many of my photos are self taken when nobody's around. Thanks to that built in 10 second timer on my camera. You can usually tell when I'm kneeling down in my fishing photos . I set my camera down somewhere on the bank with a mini tripod, and hope it comes out good. Most do......so far ! Thanks guys !

Shenango Wednesday was a blast. Wind picked up and had to head to the high banks to get out of it. Fish bite was still pretty good tho. photobucket
