Saw another fisherman catch and release a few fish. ...more I caught and released 8 pickerel to 14” and a 12” yellow perch with a black 1/8 oz leadhead jig and 2” black twister tail on 4 lb test line.

    When I went fishing in 46 degree Carnegie Lake this evening, a young fisherman was fishing on the Aqueduct with 8 rods. After I told him that 3 is the max, he put ...more away 5 rods. Saw 15 fishermen catch crappies and shad. I caught and released 4 gizzard shad, 3 black crappies, 3 yellow perch and 2 white perch. Landed 1,087 fish in 51 trips this year. I’m still using my fifth container of worms.

      I told a fisherman trout was out of season and fish Commission officer was here yesterday- as I walked away I heard the trout thump into his bucket. Not even any ...more water in it. With the economy it’s hard to blame the guy.

      Always nice when you have a lake almost all to yourself. I’ve been on a lake past couple days haven’t seen another watercraft.

    Went fishing in 44 degree Carnegie Lake this afternoon after a rain storm and cold front. Air temp was only 37 degrees. The strong north wind made it feel very cold. ...more Saw 3 other fishermen catch crappies while ultralight jigging. I caught and released 2 white perch, 2 black crappies and a largemouth bass with a 1/32 oz twister tail leadhead jig on 2 lb test line and red worms 🪱 on a gold hook and 4 lb test line. The fish stopped biting on worms last week. After I use up my fifth container of worms, I won’t buy more and use ultralight jigs instead. My 1,000th fish for this year was a largemouth bass.
