myself, my 13 yr old brother in law and my wifes cousin all went out on the lake today. was on the water for about 5 hours, 4hours fish time. did pretty well. total fish was 15, 12 bass,1 pickerel, 1 sunfish, 1 crappie. the largest bass was 4.5#'s, one 1.5#er and the rest were dinkers. all were caught on senko's rigged wacky style. the pickerel was landed on a rattle trap, he was about 2#'s or so, didn't care enough to keep him around long. my brother in law tried to land the fish for me and ended up getting hooked in his thumb with the pickerel that wouldn't calm down. real bad scenario, but he ended up being fine after everything calmed down.

I've been to Hunting Run a few times, but only fished the shore or off the dock.  Only caught small fish, except my son did catch a pretty decent size catfish.

Is the boat fishing there usually pretty good?

If looking into taking out a boat I recommend it. Even if not catching anything, it's a beautiful lake and nice to explore so you and your son would love the lake. I know I wouldn't mind owning a kayak just to kayak the lake (in between the fishing haha). The best I caught last year was a 4.2. The easiest way to fish the lake is wacky. I caught the fish in the pic (the 4.2) on a 5" green pumpkin senko.

Nice fish.
