You are best without a boat in those places by the way. I feel that pgh rivers are best from the shore. I have 3 boats & I do better from shore & around ...more structures.
Anthony, the Allegheny river is great where creeks let in on the north shore side. And lock 3 bait & tackle in Harmar right past the turnpike on-ramp can direct ...more you to best spots by Dam. Huge hybrid stripers. On the Ohio, if you're feeling dangerous, Dashields Dam right past sewickley guarantees huge hog musky & walleye. You do have to slightly risk your life tho. And I don't recommend it if its raining. Sometimes you may have to run from the army core of engineers & the Ohio township police but F THEM. I FISH WHERE I WANT
Nice catch... I'm up in monaca area. I'm not from here but if you know some good spots let me know. I have a boat to so any info would help. Nice catch..!!!!
