Fished the outflow last weekend prior to the nasty storm that plowed through and had nothing really to show for it aside from a few nice big gills and few small crappie, heading back up next weekend I think maybe con the gf in to fishing the spillway area or even near the causeway or even the lake side of the dam and not the river...

Fished it on 9/17 for a few hours, water 69 to 70. Fished Jamestown area, lots of boats grouped up but never saw much going on. My son picked up one small walleye on a worm rig.

well............i am now able to answer my question from earlier this week. the water cooling down to 65-67 degrees may have actually made fishing worse. caught a few perch. just south of the causeway.

The secret to catching fish there is stay away from the crowds and move often if they're not biting.


No walleyes but some pretty good crappies. All on new tripletail baits from www.microspoons.com that they added to their line this season.

congrats chauncy............i guess it just wasn't my day.

Nice catch, kinda hard to really hit it with the whole crew on board. May make a solo run to Shenango next weekend for crappies, save me a few.

Haven't fished shenango in a couple weeks, i think. Been doing to well at pymy to fish there. Will head up when the water cools down some more. 65* is what i'm waiting for. Good luck there.

Any updates? I will be at the in-laws camp this weekend which is a few minutes from the causeway. Anybody doing good from shore?

I fished the causeway Saturday morning with my dad & sister.  We caught about a dozen perch, six being nice keeper size, and one 16" walleye.

Just got some new jigs and plastics from microspoons.com the other day, awesome lures
