[smallieking]

quehoming dam on my small boat    i might try to get down to deep creek lake saturday though  not sure yet   wait i might go trout fishing saturday  hmm  idk  sometime i hope

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

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    

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

lol maybe thats why they work so well

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

lol  idk   o well   they eat alot of my frogs too

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

lol there are alot of pike in glendale lake

[smallieking]

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

[Bassnbrett101]

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

[fishnaddiction]

I'm fishing a big tournament on Glendale on June 15th    are you fishing in it Brett?
