Alrighty then, almost all Ice is gone. So Be heading in the next day or two be starting with some trolling on a old roadbed or tracks. Then of coarse be slamming a few early bass. and if comes to the worse taking some worms get a few channels . 

Nice. I’ve been itching. Let us know how it goes. Sort of sounds like my plan the first day out. Too many areas to hit/type of fish to target, too little time... Now you got channel cats on my mind too! Any tips on early season cats? I hear they taste better out of cold water.

Let's get this show on the road.I'm tired of work,work,work and no fishing.

 Plenty ov guys on ice this past Saturday. Haven't been in the area since to check it out. The open water I was fishing was frozen over. Bringing some more Pike tackle back from camp tomorrow.
 
crappy

Did ok a few bass and cats Nothing trolling Be heading up Sunday. Don't have much luck trolling so doesn't mean they were not hitting. Crappy got a few pikes last week the water was a flowing but did pretty good. Only wanted dead shimmers for some reason good thing they died on the way there   LOL 

Sunday worked out pretty good  3 Bass one nice one, 1 Musky on a sunfish with a 4 foot leader from float 
 

Went to www.erieextreme.com event in Fallston, Pa. on Saturday. Nice time. Free pig roast and met some of their gang. Kid friendly and funny fishing show.I think they are planning a show about striper fishing at Arthur. Fished the dam and below on the 70 degree day last week trying to use up ice fishing wax worms. 

Does anyone know if Rogers rifle and bait is open yet?
 

rippinlip where are they located ?

Right outside of the park, near the marina. Here is the number I have saved in my phone. Not sure if still same. (724) 368-8127. Not sure if he is stocked with bait yet. I’d assume he is more anxious of the weather to turn than we are.
