I've found that with any type of noisy topwater bait, i.e jitterbugs, buzzbaits, the best time to fish them is near sunset. Casting into the bank and pulling them away, more perpendicular, has been more productive for me than running them parallel.

40% Yankee...I may have to rethink my move to WV...

I'm impressed that it took seven posts to get to this point...LMAO!!

My uncles caught a huge carp in a PA lake one time from the bank. After hauling it in, my uncle held it up as the other excalimed..."LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT BASS!!!" The guys right off shore in a boat nearly swam to shore. HAHA! true story. ;D

I was watching a guy on the outdoor channel last night speargun fishing for white seabass...if you are into that sort of thing.

In-fisherman is good for all around fishing. Hank Parker is pretty good too. The outdoor channel does a whole bunch of fishing shows on Monday I believe...someone can verify this for you.

This isn't a bad idea plus maybe she will spring for some new equipment if you can get her hooked on it. Fishing isn't the worst possible thing you could be doing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!! I had to shut my office door to stop people from catching me laughing. ;D ;D ;D

Not to sound too critical but that is the most idiotic billboard I have ever friggin seen. C'mon what ARE we allowed to do anymore P.E.T.A.? Give it a rest already. >

Name: Travis Occupation: Child Support Specialist Location: Grafton WV Other: I used to be a southcentral PA fisherman. Spent many an evening pondside with SPEEDBEAD while he hauled in lunkers.

My buddy swears by tubes in these small waters. I've used them with limited success but his finesse with the "flip and pitch" is much better than mine...the "twirl and chuck" ;D

A lot of this depends on when and what type of water you are fishing. If it is a night fishing expedition...use a night crawler and some split shot. I like to still fish with this tactic and just plunk it out in a hole and let it set. If I am fishing faster water...I use a minnow threaded on the line with a #12 trebble hook so it'll spin when it hits the current. With this tactic I usually look for natural eddys or breaks where the water speed changes since trout like to hang out on these transition areas and feed. DON'T overlook the ripples though...If you are fishing for brookies they like to hide in small pockets behind big rocks and under tree roots so float a minnow past them as well.

My pap and I used to fish for them at night, still fishing style with a weighted nightcrawler and a #4 eagle. Just toss it out in a still hole and let it sit till the tip starts to jiggle. He always said it was best to go right after a rain as well. As far as stream/creek conditions are concerned for cast and retreive fishing, looking for natural eddys and breaks where the water speed changes are good techniques for spinners and minnows.

I know the morning radio show I listen to in WV was concerned about the graphics. Apparently there is a question about where the blood goes when there is a fight scene. The word on the street is that the graphics are like that of old video games like Mortal Kombat and the blood flies but then disappears. That was the only bad thing they had to say about it though.

I'm relatively new to the area as well (6 months) and one good small mouth area I am aware of is Dunkard creek in Greene co pa and Monongalia co wv. There are also a lot of Muskiees in there too.

Agreed. The silver and gold willows are murderous in flats around a little structure.
