WESTERN CRAWFORD, WCO Joe Russell Pymatuning Lake:
Bass are hitting really well right now, one bass fisherman stated “you can’t throw a plug or a lure anywhere near weeds or structure without coming up with a fish”. Muskies are still being caught by trolling but not as regularly, I am told by the fishermen that target them that they should be picking up soon for the fall run. Some Walleyes are being caught by trolling deep; Hot-N-Tots seem to be working best for this. Conneaut Lake:
Pike are being caught on a steady basis by fishermen and seem to be concentrated near the weed beds and vegetation. White bass are starting to pick up as well, look for the schools of minnows swimming up out of the water and throw your lures into that. The fish that are jumping are the baitfish being chased by the white bass. Stick baits seem to be the best in a silver color, something that imitates a minnow. The Causeway on Pymatuning:
Work on the Causeway across Pymatuning Lake has begun for the fall. Pendot has started grouting the rocks with concrete so you may experience a slight delay, but it is still open to traffic. They only have it narrowed down to one lane on the Pennsylvania side to get the work done. The work is scheduled to continue until sometime in November. Hunting Season is Here:
Now that waterfowl season has arrived hunters are reminded that all the rules and regulations that applied during your summer boating season are still all the same. Think about wearing that Life Jacket now that it is getting colder and maybe it will help keep you warm. Watch weight distribution and nasty fall storms as they come up quick. We had hunters go into the lake last year during bad weather and were lucky to have a cell phone with them that they could call for help.
