MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
it couldn't have been said anybetter jigginron. i am more of a fly fisherman than an ice fisherman and i always practice catch and release. i to needed pepto after seing those big trout killed. jigawhopper and the other guy jigabragger need to take a look at all the real big trout that they catch on the salmon river and guess what they go back thats why its such a great place for steelhead. jiggawhopper jigzybragger your not the only guys that catch big fish on the pack. i just never post them because it attracts meat hunters and braggers like you. i hope during lent you are repenting for your sins against the pack.........
hope you have an air release valve for that head. if it gets any bigger it might explode. you're not the only one who catches big fish there. just choose to brag, post pictures, and kill big fish. you don't have to kill the browns to enter them in the tourney, just a quick pic on a ruler. they don't have to be dead in the picture to send to the times leader, i'm sure they'll still print it if the fish was released after the pic. I hope and pray they are at least at a taxidermist. i bet if people started acting like true sportsmen in our area and release the big browns, walleyes, and stripers, wallenpaupack will no doubt once again hold the state record brown and have a shot at raystown's record striper. with all the perch caught every year, there shouldn't be a reason all those browns and stripers hit the grill, unless you want a wall hanger. this lake can rival lake ontario browns in quality with the help of anglers.by the way, raystown gets stocked annually with over 30,000 plus stripers by RSC AND by the PAFBC AND raystown has a large enough river for natural reproduction. that fishery can replenish the fish that are caught and killed.....wallenpaupa ck cannot. maybe if we all banded together and started a club of our own we can stock, improve habitat, have a phenominal fishery in our backyard, and not have to turn on in fisherman to watch numbers of huge fish being caught.if your going to kill these big fish, at least put it on your wall, not a frying pan. go fish for the stocked trout(designed for put and take) if you want a meal. i need to go buy some pepto bismol now.
No air release valve needed, just proud of some of the fish I have caught.Did you buy my fishing license for me?How would you know what I catch, keep, or release?22 years of fishing the Pack, open water and ice. I can count on two hands the number of trout, walleyes, and stripers that I have "KILLED FOR THE WALL". All others released. You do not even need to kill them for the wall, just good measurements and photos.I do keep panfish through the ice to eat, only time that I do.ALL FISH STOCKED IN PA ARE PUT AND TAKE, AND PAID FOR BY ME, BY PURCHASING A PA FISHING LICENCE!New York, Been there, done that! Do you need any Lake or River equipment? I tie my own flies, build my own rods (lake and river), and pour my own weights.I just might be able to save you some money on custom tackle that has been tweaked for the best results.IT'S A FREE WORLD, I'LL DO AS I FEEL, WITHIN THE LIMIT OF THE LAW!JUST LIKE IT'S YOUR FREEDOM OF OPINION TO SAY WHAT YOU FEEL!JAZII
Ski Hunter, if i'm not mistaken aren't you the guy who was complaining how a PA outdoor life segment ruined the great musky fishing at slocum? well, i think this site has done it's damage on wallenpaupack. The meat hunters JiggaKillaWhopper and JazziUpTheFishPopulati on are out in full force. I guess the excuse will again be they pay for their licence and it's legal and they don't stock as heavy as the used to. Well that's crap. Pennsylvania fishing stinks at best compared to other states. The meat hunters and braggers are to blame. What was the deal with JiggaKillaWhopper entering a brown one day and the very next entering a bigger one when anyone can see in the pics he caught both trout in the same day? From your pictures, you look too young to know how good lake wallenpaupack was 15 years ago. you used to catch 10 stripers a trip and at least one brown, now your lucky to land 2 or 3 a trip(open water). Go talk to any old timer that fishes the lake, he will tell you how many walleye and browns they used to catch through the ice in a single day.Maybe we can get gary alt to come back and manage the fish commission, lower the size limits and let everyone keep everything. Fishing will soon be like hunting in pa, spend hours or even days without seeing a sign of life. sure there will be some trophies out there but the only way to find one will be by taking a leave of absence from work.Ronbo, this lake does suck if you compared it to what it used to be.
This is regarding Slocum, from the previous post, If the muskies are destroying the panfish population in Slocum why is it that I can catch countless numbers of 5-6 inch crappie on any given night. Sure I'd like to catch bigger ones, but are the 5-6 inch crappies not a good meal for a muskie ? Also, I catch large numbers of big bluegill in Slocum every spring, I mean big gills, close to a pound, there's plenty of them. I think the larger size crappies are taken by anglers, not by muskies.I think the muskie deserves as much respect if not more than any other fish in the lake, and I suppose the walleyes and bass don't feed on the panfish, lol. The water wolf, IMO is the best of the fresh water game fish.Jazii, what you said about the alewife makes a lot of sense, matter of fact a lot of what you said makes sense, just my 2 cents.
