Spent the day on the lake as we don’t get to boat fish this late in the year very often. Had a pretty good day too. Kept a limit out of over 60 fish caught. Crappie gills catfish and bass were caught. At one spot twenty straight casts produced fish. Didn’t use livescope either. Just a jig and bobber. Merry Christmas everybody.

Jig and bobber! Sometimes simple is best! Merry Christmas!

Congrats on the day of fishing, and a nice bunch of fish. And here I thought you had put the boat away. Mind you, Chaunc launched with the lake being over 9 feet below summer pool. Which launch did you use.
Congratulations on a fine outing
That is a nice mess of fish
I launched at Mahaney ramp. Still plenty of ramp left. Headed out this morning to see if I can do that again. Hope everyone had a great Christmas Day. Wishing you a prosperous new year.Quote:

The 3 days I’ve fished since Christmas Eve have been good. Average catch per day is well into the fifties. Lots of catch and release goin on but still keeping some for fishfry. Today was the big fish day. 14 keepers over 11”s. Itty bit slab hunters ruled the day. Fished below a bobber, four feet, in eight foot water. Every color I used caught fish too. Hope to get another day in before the cold spell gets here. Thursday looks promising.
Wow, very cool. Got some good extra fishing in this year, gotta love that.Quote:

What’s the water temperature? Can’t believe you guys catch them that shallow right now. Is this a feeder creek or something?
Temp is 38.9*. Fish are following the shad into bays on this lake. With the lake down 9’ , those brushpiles that were in 17’ are now in 8’ and the black crappies are still holding on them. Jigs and bobber are getting the job done much better than minnows are. But now it’s time to put the boat away for me. Gonna be a couple weeks or more before we get decent ice to walk on. Was great getting that extra month of fishing in.Quote:

With Covid running rampant in this country, I’m not going anywhere. Just going to try to enjoy fishing in my local area.Quote:

Will also add, that sometimes Chauinc posts his catches, on the Shenango monthly Lake info page. So if you don't look there, you might miss some posts.
