 Got back from Pymie yesterday. Can't believe the price difference in 87 octane gas prices anywhere from $4.15 --- $3.07 in the Slippery Rock area.  
 

 
I did a few hours of work on my boat this past weekend.  Got to float it for about 2 hours (one crappie).  Drove around as much as fished to test some things.  The last time I was up, $3.57.  I was all excited by that.  This weekend, I looked over the bridge at the gas station sign and thought it said $3.78.  Checked my gassbuddy app and said $3.08 (using their loyalty program) sign actually said $3.18.  I really didn't even need gas, but stopped to top it off...  I got back here and everything was in the $3.95-$3.99 range.  Guessing the one station is making it as hard as possible for the new station down the road a bit.  Other stations in the area have to adjust.  Would be nice if it spread across the entire region.  If that rail strike happens, I wouldn't doubt we see $5/gal.

It rained today.  Fake news!

Wer gonna go hit Moraine shortly. Let yinz know how we do. Temps havta be below 39° by now. Not any wind to speak of right now and it's only supposed to get up to 9mph by this afternoon. Happiness is 15mins from your driveway to the launch👍.

Fished 10 to 330. 10 keepers. 4 real bigguns. Temp was 40.5°- 39.5 depending on where we were. Wind wasn't too bad, with stretches of semi-flatness. Fishing should've been better. Maybe its an off year? I know guys have been saying the same things about Pymie Crappie fishing also. I'm thinking maybe a trip to Wilhem to try or another Pymie trip, but target more for walleyes.

So crappie, you've told us he's been buyin' oodles of tackle for a couple of years now. Where's the store? Brick & mortar or on-line only? URL? Christmas 'll be here 'for ya know it.

Couldn't pass up the weather today. Sun was out , and very light wind. Fished around, made my stops. Ended up with 14. 3 big hawgs, 4 weakish ones ( 9.5) and the rest in the middle. Not real sure, but that coulda been the last trip. It's gonna take a big ole dump on us startin Thrusday. We'll havta see.

Great video. Does Moraine have any ice or is it all open water? Been thinking of hitting it or some local crappie ponds.
 

 

Had to take a trip up to Erie this weekend because a tree fell between my shed and my boat. The only damage to the boat was the license plate frame thankfully. However, the shed is going to need some repairs this spring. After I got most of the limbs cleaned up I took a drive to 20 mile, I didn't see any fish in the main holes between the lake and the bridge. Lots of vehicles were parked up top by the farm. 

I know as soon as I open that thing, I’ll be down $200. Sort of like checking the stock market…. Thanks Brandon!

Word is also that Northland bought out Bagley Baits.

Anyone going to the Monroeville Show? I believe it's weekend of the 17th.

Is Roscoe P Coltrane going to be there? I went like 15 years ago. He was there. Was pretty much the highlight. That and not being able to catch a trout out of their swimming pool. Stupid fish. Had a bunch on, but they used the dullest hooks possible. So was kind of fun not actually landing them. I’m sure they did it to help keep them alive.

I’m going to go to the Harrisburg show to meet up with the PH from the Safari company we went with. Haven’t seen him since Covid. We tried to put together a preserve pheasant hunting trip while he was in the US, but our schedules just didn’t work out.

We are in Laurel. I just asked and the girls said they're not doing it this year.
