Fishing deep.........painful.

Yeah me too!!!

That ultrex is sweet.

Congrats!!!! Don't forget batteries. Lithium are popular now due to less weight but VERY pricey. Some of those outboards take 2 to 5 batteries plus 2 for the trolling motor.

Well when your fishing lures you need to cast. retrieve, repeat. Things like tubes, worms, jigs and many soft plastics can be shaken, dragged, hopped slowly along the bottom. Swimbaits and other hard baits need to be cast and retrieved to impart action. For stripers and walleyes at night just a...

It was just a bad night. Most of the guys in our tourney last night were regulars there. Big sticks for stripers. All couldnt how bad the bite was. Boat traffic was heavy til well after 11. I did hear the fish commish pounded on several people pretty hard. 2 dui's, atv in the lot and several...

So you fished Saturday? Lake was a ZOO. Fish Commish really made a mess in the parking lot. Redesigned the layout and it flat out doesnt work!! Fishing was BAD last night. We won striper with a 7.7 my son caught. Thats very small for a winner. Only 2 brought in. We didnt get a walleye, only a...

Waiting to hear tales of the adventure!! I'll post mine in the morning! It has the looks for a good bite tonight.

Those sizes sound more of what you need. Circles are not required but a good idea for catch and release. I've passed on what I can think of. The lures and a couple spots. A slow steady retrieve is best. Fish will be in or near the bushes so dont be afraid to get right in there...

6/0 !!!!! shark hooks??? Probably a bit heavy handed there lol. The launch can be a zoo. Another reason I avoid daytime. If you can find large shiners that would be best. Wallenpaupack Sport Shop sells trout but they will likely be closed. I sure most 4 to 5" topwaters will work. I only throw a...

Circle hooks are the way to go for bait.

Stripers can be caught during the day. They just move deep. Drifting alewives and trout gets plenty of them. You can fish that way inside the no wake area. That is really as good as anywhere. Deepest water is around there. Daytime is insane there. I have a 19' bassboat and I get concerned at...

Are you going at night? If you are and in a row boat launch at the state ramp. Its right by the dam and is several hundred yards inside the no wake zone. The lake is high so shore fisherman will be mainly around the launch. Work you way back into that cove. The fingerling trout are still around...

Probably. Several people net alewives. There's lot within a couple feet of the shore most nights. Around lights is best. The most exciting thing to use is a topwater. Hits are amazing and violent. Keeps you from getting stuck as your lure gets close to shore. Most people are surprised how...

They are right on the shores most nights. I'm confident this next warm up will put the bait back on the spawn then call the big ones back in. Shore access is tough now. Public access around the lake is minimal. With the lake being high its almost impossible to fish from shore in most places...

I guess the temp drop moved a lot of fish out. Stripers are close to where we left them Thursday, just out deep. Bait schools were thick again. When the spawn is heavy they wont be as thick, spreading out more. 20 / 15

I cant imagine dealing with a striper on a fly rod. The bite got tough after the weekend cold rain. Water temps down 6 to 8 degrees. The lake came up a foot too. LOTS of flooded bushes. Last night had some bait spawning but nowhere near what there should be now. There is bait in shallow but the...

Nighttime is the right time. Dollar bills are best LOL.

No worries! Strippers are everywhere. More come everyday!!!!:rolleyes:

Not on the lake now. I will be tonight. If there are strippers my wallet will be done!!!!!:p
