fishnaddiction Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 yea  good luck  floating rivers are so much fun  hopefully the fish make it that much more better!!  Quote
smallieking Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 yo fishn i just got a new job and im not sure if i have to work weekends or not. i probally will have too so we might need to change the date of the trip down to that creek. if u want i can probably go out of the way but pick u up then head down during the week sometime if your not too busy.  have u used the new basstrix yet? its awesome  i really want to use the 4in on creeks and rivers  Quote
fishnaddiction Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 well that sucks  it doesnt matter to me  ill go anytime as long as teh creek aint roarin just contact me and we will go anytime u want  naw i wanted to get a pack before winter but never could win one on ebay  im going to wait intil more companies start making them then buy them for a cheaper price  bring them to wills  so i can see how they look....when u fish them lol    are u going to the poto for sure?

fishnaddiction Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 wow i say thats an action packed month  susqhenna looks like a great river to fish  i never had   where are u going to the junita at?  and of course cant wait to fish wills creek  thats gonna be a fun time Quote
smallieking Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 yea im going to the sus with my neighbor  i have never fished it before but he has fished it alot and knows how to catch big smallies out of it  kinda like u and wills   im taking a buddy of mine down to hopewell to fish for smallies there on the raystown branch  just alittle downstream from cybrus beach bridge somewhere down there where ever i find some parking Quote
fishnaddiction Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 yea i never fished now that far  i fished right at the bridge before but never below  there is some really nice water at the trussel right below it but there is always ppl fishing it so i never did  good luck man  do u have any fishing trips planned for april or march yet? Quote
smallieking Posted January 29, 2008 Author Posted January 29, 2008 not yet  im probably just goin to be jumping from lake to lake that time of year  hows the water between cyprus and the bridge  i dont like the water at cyprus  too flat and too many camps  i was actually thinking about parking at the bridge and then fishing downstream  Quote
fishnaddiction Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 it sucks  well its pretty much just shallow ripples with a few eddies on the sides  then under the bridge is just one big ripple no holes at all just go below and hell with that water its seriously bad Quote
smallieking Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 really lol  well i need to find a spot  i dont want to get down there and drive around  cause then my buddy will think im an idiot lol  how far down river from the bridge is the trussel Quote
fishnaddiction Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 not very far at all  there is some ripples right at the bridge then maybe a hole then another set of ripples then there is the hole by the trussel  u can see the trussel from the bridge?  what part of the river do u normally fish? Quote
smallieking Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 o ok well im goin to park right there at the bridge then   i fish all over  mostly around tatesville bridge  just upstream from those ledges u like to fish Quote
fishnaddiction Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 yea i know where tatesville bridge is  jezz  hey i told smallmouthbegginer or something like that about some info u gave me about feeder creeks on larger rivers  when we fished together on wills that one time  ive been talking to him on AIM  so  yea im not sure if u remember giving me the info but i gave it to him since he needs to target some type of structure or area that will produce on a larger river  Quote
smallieking Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 lol  yea i wasnt sure what he was asking me about  i didnt even realize that he was talking about u  im not even sure i gave him the information that he was looking for lol   i gave him a bunch of info on fishing feeder creek eddies on rivers   lol  o well  at least he has abunch of info on something  right??   well im thinking about where to go on the river at  i would go to the trussel if it was just me  but im not sure if there is any other holes around it to fish after we fish the trussell  got any ideas? Quote
fishnaddiction Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 yea i told him about fishing incoming current and i just wanted him to get it varied by u since u are the expert on fishing current for smallies lol  aa yea im not sure  i like tatesville bridge and the first parking lot on browser hill road   the ledges and the spawning flat below it  its your call u fish that river more than i do  i just fish constant spots lol  Quote
smallieking Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 lol yea  i know  i just lke covering as much water as possible   ill probably fish the water right at the junita trading post  im not sure its not for a few months   o yea i was talkin to people at work about stoneycreek  i thought stoneycreek was a dirty sulfur AMD creek.  i might be wrong  but it is the creek that dumps into the conomaugh in johnstown right?  is it fishable?  he said that there are alot of bass that has to moved into the creek  idk i was thinking he was throwing out a bunch of bull but i dont know Quote
fishnaddiction Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 yea in johnstown the creek is pretty bad  i actually fish it up by the dam  in hossople  the creek is good there  there are two Acid Mine Drainage creeks that dump into downstream from that  so i stay above the first being shade creek in seanor  so anywhere from seanor to the dam is all good fishing  there is even some largemouth and really nice trout in it   its actually just about 15 minutes from my house  Quote
smallieking Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 hmm im not sure about all those town names and creeks  but i was wondering if that is the creek on the left side of the road after u get off 219 and u have to make that right to go to the dam  is that stoneycreek there on the left?  with the black old train bridge crossing it?  i seen people fishing it but never thought anything of it   hmm maybe i will have to go on a scouting trip some time Quote
fishnaddiction Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 yup excalty  i fish that hole before  actually once last year but only caught a few bass mostly trout  yea well from that bridge the whole way down to a town called seanor is ok creek bass fishing  its nothing like wills but is something to do during the week or whatever when u just want to go fish  how far is it from u to go to the queen? Quote
smallieking Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 o ok  cool  it takes me about 15 minutes to johnstown then another 15 minutes to mcnaley bridge then about 10 minutes from there to the lake  so about 40 minutes  if u ever want to go  i can get off in richland and take scalp down to windber and pick u up  it only takes about 5 or 10 more minutes  no problem  plus u can show me  where do u on that creek Quote
fishnaddiction Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 k cool im actually supposed to go to that creek sometime soon to fish for trout a private stocking company stocks it over the winter if u want to can come with me just to see what the creek is like also i was wondering what baits u use for fishing root systems  i was just looking at some old pics and remembering fishing roots alot  i know a wide wobble crank worked for me once but i was wondering if bass there will target grubs and insects more than craws and minnows  k later Quote
