Fishing Lake Jean

[ICE REBEL]

Yeah ice is good. There is about 8 inches up there. Good luck

[Byron/PA]

Yea, I'm going to go up and fish the derby for a bit, not real serious but a bit of fun and a bit of work mixed together.

I think I may have a good idea what the hole in the ice could be from.  I know in years past the local rescue crews have done submerged winter search and recovery excersizes in jean cause of the clarity.  The usually cut a hole about that size in the ice.  they usually do it down by the dam right off of the parking lot though. 

I am basing whether our not im fishing the tourney on the snow.  we may get  a few inches friday over my way.  I may have to do snow removal. 

[Gillaholic]

yeah, theres no bottom to that lake either!

Not another lake with no bottom!!!! Holy Cow!!!!!

    How was the tourney for everyone???  Who won and with what??  I caught about 30 perch 8 inches to 13. but couldnt land a keeper pick or a gill. Oh well was a good day.

stilljiggn, 

 the winning lunker was a 4.05 # pickerel.  that fish was also the winner of total weight of fish.  the top three places were from 3.59 # to 4.05 #.   

You did not happen to buy any of the 50/50 tickets did you. 

I I caught so many dinkks (perch and gills) today it was not funny.  the most i can ever remember catching here.  The picks I got were all sub legal.  next time I will have BIG baits. 
Oh well always next year. 


OH and by the way that open water spot going towards the narrows from the west boat launch is now slush covered but you can see it plain as day.  It is pretty close to the shore line though.  the rest of the ice is roughly 8 inches or so still.

For those that like to walk a ways to your spots there was about 4-5 inches of snow on the ice and we probably got 2 or 3 inches today.

hey is anyone catching any crappie up there. i never fished it before and was just wondering whether it was worth the time to drive 2 hour to get there.

[pa.bob]

If u r lookin 4 crappie it is not worth a 2hr drive. Ive only heard of very few getn iced here. Ive been lookin 2 find them for years on this lake. If ur driving that far i wud find a betr place to go.
