Thread: Spawn

I fished from Mahaney up to 846 yesterday and didn't catch any numbers like that. Water temp was 60 - 61 degrees. My problem was staying on a spot with all the boat races taking place. It seems that some guys spent the day seeing how fast they can get from point A to point B. They don't care much about the no wake rule or how close they get to other boats while they are traveling to the other end of the lake at 70 mph. For me the unlimited hp makes Shenango almost unfishable at times.

Fished eaton resivior this evening and caught a decent amount.. Smaller size today, but I got them in one small area.. Prior to this evening I was fishing a 100 yard stretch drifting over them and picking them up here and there, but nothing fast and furious. Today I anchored and caught them at one spot. I found they had moved down closer to the shore spawning area I mentioned in a prior post. Where I would catch them when I didn't have a boat.

You're fishing the wrong end of the lake for this time of year, Rev. The golden run area is loaded with the spawners. Sure there's some all over the lake but for numbers, you can't beat GR. I'm headed up tomorrow as I try to stay away from the lake on weekends for the very reason you explained. Speed boats and no respect.
