Fished tonight and the fish were extremely negative, but still managed a decent pick of your average LA gill and kept 10 crappie for dinner throwing the rest back into the drink.

For what it’s worth and anyone interested I’ll have more than I need in waxworms hopefully arriving soon. If anyone is interested in some or a tub let me know and we can set something up.

I fished Muddy Creek today for 30 minutes (that is all the free time I had).  4" of clear ice. Fish were in a negative mood.  Could attract marks in with strong jigging, but no commitments to eat.  Was fishing small rattling spoons + plastics.

Anyone know how much snow accumulated on the muddy creek to Shannon area? Was hoping those 40mph winds helped

Just stopped by the church. Looks like about 4 inches of snow. Two groups out in front of the church not very far off shore and one shanty out by the maples. Looked like a big wet spot about 100 yards out from the church where the ice is pushed down.

Looking to head out this weekend some time.  Anyone have any catch reports?  Was thinking of hitting the main lake point across from the church launch or the railroad bed up Muddy Creek.  Stay safe everyone!

Hello,

Anyone want to hit an evening shot today?

  I am eating a bowel of chili lol and packing in to hit the lake from 4 -?

Let the fish tell me to go home or stay.

Be safe traveling and venturing onto the hard water.

Planning to head out this weekend. Fish don't seem like they are on fire, but winter has me itching to get back on the hard water. Good luck and stay safe.

Anybody been back the road to the 528 upper (canoe/kayak) launch? I am hoping some of it melted and not all got packed down.  If it’s the later it will be a nightmare with ice (always is)

That may be, but the packed down snow actually fills in the 10 million gaping potholes on that road and actually makes it smoother!

Potholes are least of my concern.
Sliding off the tight side road park spots into a tree is little bigger damage, lol.
  Seen people do it before and almost did the same last after the ice melted and refrozen after a warm day.

Somewhere out there is a fish that’s hungry. We just need to figure out where, at what depth, what time of the day or night and what it is hungry for... simple as that.

I went to upper 5 28 launch today and  it definitely was treacherous if you don't have 4X4 and good winter tires dont recommend. Fished tip UPS everywhere for 5 hours without a single flag

Fished out from Moraine Cabins today. Ice was covered with partially frozen slush but 5 inches or little less of nice ice underneath. Not much caught. 2 perch, one bluegill. Lots of lookers on the sonar but few takers.

Just saw a western PA hard water tournament Saturday (1-22) Last year after it, fishing went from hot to non existent in Muddy and Shannon.
  Which they’d limit it to under 50 people or spread it out so it doesn’t ruin an area.
 Oh well guess I know where not to go on Saturday.

Upper 528 had some soggy spots with 3-4inches of slush/water on top the first 30 feet of the launch ramp. Soggy spots were 4 inches of mostly clear ice under the slush and snow covered areas further out were 4.5-5 inches of Mostly black/clear . I did find a spot 15 or so yards out from the ramp that was only 3inches so be careful.  The road going back to upper 528 was prettt rough and down near the ramp is bad If you dont have 4x4 with good tires you could get stuck down there. A few trucks started to drive down and decided to reverse all the way back to the main road.
