I need to get out soon! I need bass. Curious if any other Pennsylvania people have have luck yet, it's still awfully cold

I wouldn't wait to get word that bass are being caught. If that was the case the PFBC has had reports in early February about smallies being caught on the rivers.

Go get your line wet!

I haven't been out at all yet but I am hoping to get out in the next week or so.

I was out both days last weekend on the Upper Allegheny, smallies, pike, muskies.......all were biting.

I'm not going to make it out for awhile yet.I had my left knee replaced in January.Doing real well walking etc.,still planning on being on the water by the end of May.

I won't get out until it's in the mid/high 50s for a few days in a row, maybe low 60s. Looks like that's at least 2 weeks away based on current 10-day forecast.

we got a foot of snow over night here in MA

I been known to cut a lil' rug....(sorry, Major Payne reference)

 

I've gone out a few times, water is cold. Real cold.

you know you could really scare them by making them watch Leonard Part 6

Caught this guy March 13th in NEPA.  No reason not to be out there so long as you can dress properly to stay warm

Is that Minsi Lake there Sun Fish?

 

My friend and I were going to get out there soon since that is usually the first lake unfrozen.

I'm going to start working on the boat saturday and hopefully it'll see the water monday depending on weather. They're calling for 6-12" of snow tonight through friday so getting to the boat may be a bit harder then expected. Last time I checked today is the first day of spring right? Lake effect snow coming off Erie, hopefully the weather man is wrong like normal.

Went last weekend down here and the water was cold(36). I have a tourney Saturday! One nice thing is if you catch anything this time of year it is usually better size fish!

Yes it is, I live 10 minutes from it.  I was out there for a short time today man was the windy nasty and the water crazy choppy.  

If you go there a lot you have probably seen my friend and I out there. He has a white Triton Tr-186. We usually go spring and fall there. Summer is usually taken up with Wallenpaupack tournaments. 

 

Minsi is an amazing little lake though, my friend caught one that was 7 lb 1 oz out of there two summers ago, and we found out later at a tournament that his scale was light by a little so it might have been 7 and a half or so.

I am there a lot. It's a tough lake but can be very rewarding at times  I do think I've seen a white Triton out there before.  I was in a brown hydra sport most of last season now I'm in a green Nitro.

Hopefully I will see ya out there at some point. I'm sure we will be there at least once in April and at least once in May.

Who hosts the tournaments on Wallenpaupack?  I was looking online for info on tournaments there and couldn't find much.

I'm sure other clubs have tournaments there too, but these guys have the most.

Our club is headed to the river tomorrow, just ready to play with all my new toys!

Headed to the lake in the morning for the first tourney! Should be interesting! Very cold!

How'd the tournaments go today guys?
