What gets me is that the ENTIRE area is closed to fishing , even the small pits no one hunts . I caught 2 limits of crappie between oct.21 - nov. 1 and would like to try for more this week-end but...
Crappie are up shallow and feeding - caught 24 yesterday and 25 today , all 10-12 inches . Its cold but the fish dont care ! Most hitting minnows 1 foot deep around weedbeds .

Ive caught a 68lb flathead below John T Meyers { uniontown } dam and it was about half as long as that one so Id guess the weight at 120-130lb which could shoot up to 150-160 if swelled with roe . I...
Its on 14news.com that the CDC confirms it . Also confirms that me and mine will never go to West Boggs again . Maybe dump a tanker of bleach in it and start over .
