WESTERN CRAWFORD COUNTY, WCO Joe Russell Pymatuning Lake:
The spillway seems to be where all the activity is for fishing right now. Walleyes are being caught jigging silver and blue Sonar’s and chartreuse 1/8 oz. Jigs at the wire. Several large catfish are also being taken at the wire using minnows on the bottom. Crappies are also hitting here on minnows floated under a bobber. Fish them three to four feet below the bobber and for best results be sure to keep a live one on. Just remember you have to stay outside the wire to be legal. Shenango River (outflow to Pymatuning):
Some very nice catfish were taken over the weekend fishing at the river. Some well in excess of two feet. Fishing the bottom using liver is the way these anglers were getting lucky. The two in the picture took over seven in two days, which will make for some very nice eating. Conneaut Lake:
haven’t seen any activity this week on Conneaut except for a sailboat this afternoon. White bass should be schooling up now and biting good. Anyone with any information would be welcomed. Waterfowl season opens this weekend and we are once again asking hunters to be very cautious when it comes to weather and boating while hunting. If it is cold and you have multiple layers of clothes on, when they get wet they will weigh you down that much more. Instead of having a life jacket in the boat throw it on for an added layer of warmth. Remember, “LIFE JACKETS ARE LIKE SEATBELTS THEY DON’T WORK IF YOU DON’T WEAR THEM”! All the same rules of boating apply while hunting as it does when you are out fishing in the summer.
