the quemahoming or however you spell it is a great lake!! Its full of huge fish too.  Whats the hp rating on that lake, isnt it electric only?  I think i'm gonna try to hit up the rivers this weekend

yea just electric motors,  but its only a half an hour drive so i bought a small 16 foot v haul boat just for it   fun little lake   its actually pretty big for electric motors only but whatever

I've seen some huge muskie pictures from that lake. and it is kinda big, we went there for a boyscout camping trip a few years back and it was like 5-6 miles around?  Idk it could have been more than that and we just walked 5-6 miles all i was worried about back then was the obstacle course lol

yea ive heard nice muskies are being caught but all my time i spent there. I have never seen or caught one    there    it used to be owned by a fishing club and no one could fish it and the bass really grew   there are some real lunkers in that lake

Last time i checked the water was really clear too.  I still remember catching a 4 lber on a wacky worm there.  I got the bait hung over a stick and i dangled it in the fishes face til it ate the worm lol.  My buddy said he does pretty good on a dropshot there. he only lives like 15 minutes away in stoystown

  • Author

yea there are places that the dropshot works well   everyone that fishes it uses the wacky rig   it is a great topwater lake      yea stoystown is real close to the lake    

i guess the wacky rig would be a good choice for finicky bass and the clear water.  I would have never guessed it was a good topwater lake though

yea  noone throws them but poppers are awesome for around any visble structure

  • Author

yea  thats exactly what i think   a shakey head works pretty good there too

I could see that being a great technique there.  Have you tried crankbaits or jerkbaits there?  A tube jig would probably work well too

  • Author

yea jerkbaits work ok  cranks too  im not a big crankbait fisherman though   the last two times i was there using a tube  i couldnt keep the pickerel and pike off my line   i dont know why either

idk i've noticed pike and pickeral love tube jigs for some reason but i've never hooked one on a texas rigged tube

  • Author

lol yea im not sure if they were t-rigged or on a jighead   probably on a jighead

I think its because the tube jig spirals on the way down and it has a different movement all together.  Maybe it captures a pikes interest better lol, or maybe they just don't like wieghts in the front of their snacks  ;D

lol  idk   o well   they eat alot of my frogs too

Thats fun to watch though! they absolutely kill those things!  I really don't mind losing a frog if they kill it pretty good lol

  • Author

yea unless its a bronzeeye frog   those things are 8 bucks a piece

I really only use the soft plastic ones.  And the ribbits at that, i never really got into the ones that float on top of the slop

  • Author

yea  i rarely use them on the queen   the only place i have had problems with pike biting off my bronzeye frogs is at Glendale lake in all the pads

  • Author

yea   its a fun little lake too    i used to fish it alot   i dont anymore

I've only fished it a few times, along with any other lakes though.  Its hard to get out with college and such, the lakes I know the best are the ones I fish tournaments on
