Stupid fish 

See what happens when you explore new waters! Congrats

Should have ET that pike.  Minus the pesky bones they are quite tasty.  

Nice....lots of Pike still in Shenango over the years.

Braved the 14 mph ESE winds today. Stupid me.

Water wasn't exceptionally rough but the wind was merciless from the time I started, bright and early noonish, until leaving around 5.


Water is a bit high and the surface temps averaged 62.5 degrees F.

Except for the clay being washed along the shorelines the water seemed clear. Jigs could be seen from 18" to 2 feet below the surface.



Note to journal: ESE winds at 14mph; screw fishing Shenango.

fished the golden run area yesterday. caught over fifty crappies with most being just under 9". threw all of them back but it was fun catching them. theres an amazing number of fish in this lake. if you like eating your fish with bones in them, these fish are the perfect size.

No I like fillets. Hope all lakes adopt a size length and limit of 20 fish. It's ridiculous the over harvest of small Panfish.
