Ya the causeway where the original Espyville marina was! lol  And I've really got nothing against the bass fisherman, it's just the pressure in general.  Obviously, I go back to the days when Lou Stefan ran the Linesville livery with two wooden docks and about thirty rental boats.  If you had your own boat back then you were certainly well off!  
Never used to pick up bass in the stumps like I have the last few years.  Good mix between big and small, but if I am targeting smallies, I definitely go to the Allegheny.   Softshells and Helgramites and I'm in heaven.

Many years ago (10 or so) I was hunting ducks near Fries road around the little islands and was putting out decoys around 4 in the morning.  There were the usual sounds of fish jumping coming all around me.   All of a sudden a19" smallmouth comes flying into the canoe right into my lap. Takes a lot to shake me up but after I put the fish back in the water I had to go to shore to check my drawers.   

Any word on if any of the docks were put in this week?

I was at snodgrass and orchard Sunday and neither of them were in yet.

Fished for a couple hours and did have a fish on. Short strike barely hooked him from what I could tell. Gonna try again tomorrow night.

Docks were in at snodgrass last night

Does anyone know when Fries Road Launch gate will be opened ??
 
 
The road back to the launch was full of potholes  last year. I don't suppose there's any chance the park will do anything with the potholes.  Like filling them in .... a little lime stone is way too much to ask, I'm sure.

Picked up a nice limit of eyes last night by the causeway. Had to work for it, 7 hours, but was worth it. Largest 22". A lot of boats there. I was packed in the middle of them. Fished from 5 pm till about midnight.

What's the water temp.?

Was 48 on Friday night. Have to assume 53 or 54 by the end of today.
