  • i rarely fish it. its a real pain of a 1 hour drive for me to get there. but......... cant complain about it that much when you can catch these in it once in a while. 

  • April 15 Marsh creek reservoir. Windier than I expected. Having pedals made it barely manageable to get into position. Sun popped out for a few hours and I was targeting stumps and brush with a white

That’s blue marsh for ya. Lake is flat out tough, the insane amount of pressure doesn’t help

Took the kayak out for a quick 2 hour sesh at my local pond. Yeah it was windy, raining and cold but so what?

Been there...One time, I caught 5 in one day on cranks.  Also caught one at night on a buzz bait.

So Snakeheads are on my bucket list this year - we don't have any *yet* up here in the Poconos.  What's a reliable place to target them in Eastern Pa?

Well the only spot I can say is fdr which is where I caught my last one. It's highly pressured but I've caught my share there. You can launch a kayak there as well. South jersey is another area to look at.

debating... tomorrow. if i should go to blue marsh or leaser lake.

Hitting up Blue Marsh tomorrow, hope to catch some off the rocks on lipless cranks and jigs. If not, I'll try some finesse! Would love to catch my first smallie of the year

Decided not to take the hour drive to Marsh or the nox and instead fish in places near me that's the size of thier parking lots. I caught this in a small Shallow pond that's less that 1000 ft long and less than 100 ft wide.

Was at Marsh endlessly throwing a chatterbait and spinnerbait with nothing to show. then towards the end of the cove as i was lifting my chatterbait out of the water i see a muskie follow it. I drop it back into the water and i see her swim back and hammer it. Had her thrashing for a second or two then she spits the hook. Im now drinking away the pain.

I feel your pain ... these things always seem to happen with big fish ... my dad always said the reason they get big is that THEY'RE LUCKY !!

great day on blue marsh. caught about nine before noon. buzz bait did most of the damage. all fish were above 14 inches i would say. 19 being the biggest.

Had a few hours to kill so I go to my spot only to see people already there so I take up my buddies offer to do a little bit of trespassing.

amen to that. if it stayed like it was the last couple days, the new moon should've pushed the big girls shallow. not happening with 4" of snow up here. That being said, scouted a river I wanna drop a drift boat in. only 50 yards wide and hecka current, but good potential.

 

 

Also, buddy of mine is headed to blue marsh tomorrow for his first time. Any advice I can give him? Ive never been there myself.

I can’t seem to ever get on them good there. Bruce has been killing it up there. Best advice I can give is fish the main lake and use your electronics 

whats been the only thing working for me lately?? waking up early and fishing the slick water with buzzbaits around cover and rocks. and shallow cranks. i also think blue marsh has been crazy pressured in a short period of time.

Crazy they’re eating a buzz bait already. I wouldn’t even have thought to throw one this early with how the weather has been
