JediAmoeba Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Fishing sucks so bad in the Poconos right now. I spent 6 hours today and 2 yesterday creeping jigs on the bottom, slow-rolling Dark Sleepers, throwing jerkbaits, hudd 68's, ned rigs of various styles and only one bite... which I missed. The bass are just not ready I guess... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oysterk Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 @YoTone I live about 5 minutes away from Marsh, but I've heard from a few guys on boats that the park rangers are calling people off the water with a bullhorn, so I've been sticking to the banks. And since the waters still mid40s, not a lot biting from the banks haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Markley Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 @JediAmoeba and to think I almost took a trip up there this weekend to get away from all the craziness near Philly. Think I’ll wait a couple weeks and let things warm up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoTone Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Freakishly warm weather yesterday. Decided to join some buddies to bank fish some secret spots that's been on fire lately. Buddy caught this on a Walmart spinner, she was hugging under some timber from a beaver dam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarry Man Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 caught a two pounder today up at the lake house. mom was walking the dogs so I decided to walk to the dam with her, two casts on a drop shot barely moving the bait, no bites. decided to pick up my flipping jig on my ne3w rod I customized just to test the feel out, flipped right along the wall and bam 2 Uber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Markley Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Anyone here ever fished springton reservoir in media? Heard it’s great but illegal. Apparently on Sunday’s the fish police don’t work though. Having a tough time finding any viable spots with everything shut down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guy at the local tackle shop always talks about fishing there on Sunday’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoTone Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Tried my luck again figuring Two days of warm weather should kick start a bite. Went super shallow way back in a cove and targeted stumps when this chunk ate my jack hammer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oysterk Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 @Quarry Man what's up! Yessir, fellow Marsh Creek angler. I've only caught perch in 2020 so far at MC, excited to get out there soon though! Looks like the bass fishing is picking up a bit. My PB is from Marsh Creek about a year and a half ago, a 4.5 pounder @YoTone gotcha. I've only ever accessed that cove from boat, but maybe I can find some land access too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now seeing potential for a future meetup after the quarantine is through... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
