I'm thinking of heading to Codorus lake on Monday and Tuesday was just wondering how the fishing there is. Haven't fished that lake in years as I live about 5 mins from Pinchot lake and spend most of my days there.

Bigbill I have to agree with ya on that one. It sure is alot more peaceful at the wee early mornings. Brian, I too have done more night fishing this year than during the day. Specially last month in Pa we had a long hot streak of weather that brought water temps up close to 90! As far as the bugs go. The first few times I got bit to hell even with bug spray. I found that dabbing some Vicks vapor rub on random parts of my body and clothes works wonders! Seen it on FB and gave it a try!

Hey All, A friend and I are looking to start making plastic worms on our own. I am looking for advice on a good quality "kit" to get us started. I am looking for one where we are able to create our own master mold. We were out on on the lake the other day and was not doing very well as far as catching fish goes. The heat of course was not helping matters any. We tried throwing everything we had in our tackle boxes at them with no luck at all. I have always been the type to come up with random baits that would work that the average fisher don't use on a regular basis. So I got out a 10" plastic worm and my handy dandy scissors. I then began to perform "surgery" on this worm carving out its body and tail. After about a half hour later I was finally done and started fishing with it in the same spots we previously were having no luck. Loh and behold I was catching fish after fish. I then made a few others since they were working and gave one to my friend who was also catching them. I attached a few of the fish that were caught. What im looking for is a GOOD Quality plastic kit that would allow me to make my own custom mold. Thanks All!

Ohhhh Good tip! Didn't even think about that. That was about the only problem last night was I couldn't see my line very well. Im a line watcher so it made it a bit difficult! I will defiantly have to look into that type of line!

So tonight was my very first time going night fishing for Bass. I have gone out many times before for Channel Cats but never Bass. I must say...I'm now H00ked! We went out only for a few hours just to try it out and ended up staying longer than we wanted to do to the fact that we were catching so many fish! I dont think Ive caught as many bass all season during the day as I did tonight! Anyone else swear by Night Fishing for bass?

Hey all! Planning a fishing/boating trip with a friend of mine on Monday and Tuesday at Codorus. I was just wondering how the fishing is there? I haven't fished Codorus in about 5-7 years so any tips/tricks/advice would be great! Thanks in advance!

Thanks Speedbead. Think were gonna try and fish the coves today from shore. The ole boat can take a break today wit hthe winds. LOL

Anyone know of any good Bass fishing ponds in the York, Hanover, Harrisburg, or surrounding areas? Looking for a pond that isn't not over fished. I dont mind hiking so it dont need to be a pull up, park and fish. Thanks!

I got it from HLSmaps.

Thanks Ian. We managed to go out yesterday and there were alot of peole out fishing. We managed to boat a total of 2 both 15 inches not sure on weight as I didnt bring my full tackle. Both were caught on Senkos and was in the cove right outside the main beach area. Thanks for your tips will definatly keep them in mind when I go out this weekend.

Taking the ole trusty canoe out on Sunday to Pinchot Lake for the first time this year. Anyone having any luck on this lake? Did alright last year but I didnt really know the lake that well. So hope to change that this year thanks to a lake map.

I asked a question about this creek and then rememebred that its trout waters so I removed the post...where did the time go!?!?!?!? If someone can remove this post then so be it.

THANKS!!! Will def be contacting him! Will keep ya posted!

I bought a fixer upper boat over the winter and have gotten to the fiberglass repairs and painting part of it. I was wondering if anyone could give me some Shops in PA that are reliable and can do small Fiberglass repairs (Just some little cracks) as well as a good paint job. I live in Dover,Pa and willing to travel if needed would to stick with the Harrisburg or York aera but not a must. Thanks!

FINALLY boated a few today..one of which was a 4lb bass. If your fishing there and are having a hard time i recomend fishing the grass with a natural looking worm or tube worm. Good Luck all!

So today myself and a friend of mine hit Pinchot lake. We mostly fished the South West side of the lake ( boat launch off of route 177 I think it is. Needless to say we had a total of one hit all day. We were fishing in the Lilly's and underwater branches using jigs, plastic worms and frogs. Not able to boat anything. R we fishing the wrong spots with the wrong lures or what? Thanks in advance!

Hey all. Planing a trip to Codorus state park to do some fishing on the lake there. Does anyone know how the bass fishing is there? Any tips or pointers? Was there a few years ago and boated a few. I have heard rumors that the lake isn't doing so well with Bass the past few years. Any info would be greatly aperciated!

On East Queen Street. Im sure you have seen the boat if you go into town any. BIG ole thing. 16 foot long flat bottom. Looks like a giant black tank...LOL. It was built by myself and a friend of mine from the ground up. We will all have to get together sometime and do some fishing.

Ummm in the main town of chambersburg...LOL thats the town name. Its close to Caledonia State Park if that helps. As to your comment about spawnning in May and June. No I did not. Obiviously im not the greatest bass fisher. I have been fishing for years since a kid but never had anyone to show me the ropes. I have just recently started doing research on the best techniques and bait and everything else. I'm not affraid to admitt that Im no genious when it comes to bass fishing. Thats why I joined this forum in hopes to learn as much as I can. I have heard that this time of year you want to be using top water baits. Like frogs, jiggs ect ect.

I have gone there quiet a few times and have caught quiet a few bass. Usually on shinners. However, This year has me stumped with the late summer weather and what not. I'm really not sure where fish are spawnning and where there active in the pa regions. For example...I just got back from a 5 day trip from pymatuning lake. The water tempture there was 65 degrees and me and a friend didn't even boat a single bass..caught nothing but perch. Needless to say it was a waste of $300.00 So were trying to find some good bass fishing in the york, lewisberry, or dover pa aeras.

Hello all. I was just wondering if anyone knew how the fishing for largemouths is at pinchot lake? Im planning a trip there in the next few days and am not from the area. So are they active or spawnning right now? Thanks in advanced ;D
