Let the fishing begin!

That's a nice cat, where that at?

[jlovbasz3]

Got this big girl today on a popper. She put up a good fight that lasted about two minutes. I'd say she weighs about 4-4 1/2 pounds and about 20'' long.

That's nice! I haven't had any luck on my poppers so far this year

Ok emsworth, I haven't been there in a boat so it looked unfamiliar. Man I got to get some fishin in, my buddy I used to go with got married to a real b*t*h and she hates me.

first fish of the year on my boat. We were floating around by the back channel when I caught this. Dont mind my dumb grin

[justin'sbig7]

[condortaco01]

Caught this pig on Plumcreek the first week. Meal worm. 23" long, didn't weigh it.

Haven't even got a bite yet on the Allegheny (boat or shore) but I caught a tiny small mouth in Slippery Rock Creek Memorial Day weekend that wasn't even picture worthy, but I'm sure I still had a big dumb grin!

[always broke]

You guys ever catch a razor?! Lol

[2002wranglerX]

Lol. Beat me to it. I thought I stumbled into the beard thread.

[condortaco01]

Lost my razor back in feb. '12. Sent out SAR but to no avail.

Gotcha. I haven't fished that far down but the allegheny river has treated me good. I was up in east Brady last week and it was nasty, high muddy and whole trees floating!

[pghchamp]

I'll be up east brady next month, love it up there but haven't had much luck fishing there

You have to go through the week otherwise the boat traffic is horrendous and kills off the bite. I did surprisingly well last year for never fishing a river before, shoot me a pm when you plan on heading up and maybe we can hook up for a little fishin

Sweet will do, the only spot I really fished up there is right by the bridge everyone jumps off. I've been thinking about dragging the boat up there.

Cat fishing

[justin'sbig7]

did pretty good on pymie yesterday, got one keeper sized walley and 3 nice perch... and about 30 catfish. they were hitting like bluegills, and I am actually a little concerned that they are over populating pymie and lake Arthur. I cant fish for walleye in either place without getting a ton of catfish.

Hell yea looks like you had a good day

Just something fun to post. My children have Autism, & while they're high functioning, we're getting a later (and different!) start on things than you guys with normal kids. This is my oldest, Zachary, and he's 14. We've gone fishing before, but never caught a DAMN thing either time; not even so much as a nibble (Raccoon State Park and Cannonsburg Lake). He kept at it for over three hours each time, which was 2: 50 longer than I thought he would.

So I wanted to reward his patience, and finally get him to a place where I knew he could have some success. This was up in Cabot back on May 30 @ a fishing derby sponsored by our church's nursing home complex up there (Concordia) - it was on a farm they own, but haven't developed yet. I just had a good feeling that this stocked pond would be a good experience for him; not only did he catch his first fish - he caught his first FIVE fish.

Now that he's had some success, he's more hooked than ever. Enjoy.
