Hi,

 

I am new to the forums and was wondering if anyone fishes North Central PA.  Specifically, I fish Tioga Lake, Hammond Lake, and Cowanesque Lake.  Anyone Fish these? Anyone have good luck? When we go out we catch a lot of dinks. 

Welcome aboard!

 

Plenty of PA fisherfolk here. Hang in there, they'll chime in!  

Greensburg PA in the house! Lol.  Mostly fish lakes off 79 North of Pittsburgh...Arthur, Wilhelm, Presque Isle/Erie, Pymatuning, and if I head East its High Point, Glendale, Raystown, Shawnee.  

 

Ever hit any of those? 

 

Lots of water, lots of fish, just don't grow world record largies in PA ?

to the forum.  I live on the eastern border so I am not familiar with your area.  I would be happy to catch a lot of dinks.  Be glad you don't live in my area.  Some call it "bass hell" here.

 

Go to the tackle shop in wellsboro. Buy some lures and talk to him. The guy knows what's going on,  on all three lakes. If you don't want to do that,  go to his website and read the fishing reports. He posts them regularly. 

Hi mjmj

I fish all 3 of those lakes , 1 wk in the spring and 1 wk in the fall.

I have a good friend that lives up that way.

Mostly tioga , 

We did really good this spring, but timing is everything. 

Some years you would swear all the fish moved away, it would be tough fishing.

Try fishing the hump near the bridge.

I'm from Central PA, and I mostly fish Raystown and Sayers dam, those lakes can be tough but there are plenty of hawgs in both. I go up to Tioga a lot and fish the corps lakes along with smaller lakes such as Hill's Creek, Beechwood, Hamilton, etc, for both bass and panfish through the ice. It's true that there are a bunch of dinks in those lakes, but there are bigger ones around. 

We recently had a two day club tournament at Cowanesque, some guys hammered them, others struggled. The first day, one of our guys caught a 17.49 pound bag, I know he was throwing a Carolina rig a lot. I caught a 13 pound bag the second day, and also took the day two lunker with a 3.58 largemouth that took a split shot rigged senko, cove right next to the campground. 

Hello and welcome to the forum.
