Love Those Carp
Posted in Fishing, Misc. Nature on July 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
My Wednesday “TO DO” list had three early morning possibilities listed. One was a hike and one was a bike ride and the third was carp fishing at a local state game lands pond. I chose to hike to the SGL pond to fish. However, my plans needed altered for a bit. My cousin, Donny Smail called me Tuesday evening [...]
Carp Stalking

The carp is a fish common to our waters here in Pennsylvania. However, the carp is not a native fish. The carp was introduced many years ago and the specie has entered many waters. Buffalo Creek, where I was this morning, is one such stream. This stream is an approved trout stream. A fun way [...]
Fishing On the Allegheny

I haven’t been fishing this year until this morning. The rain and high waters, not to mention, the spring gobbler season kept me away from this interest. I hurriedly decided to go this morning and left the house by 5:15 A.M. I have been having a reprieve from bad allergy symptoms and felt [...]

I am behind with yesterday’s muskie fishing event. I decided to place both onto one blog. We entered the waters early with a fog and comfortable temperatures. These conditions didn’t last long. the fog quickly burned off and the day reached into the upper 80′s by the time we quit fishing. Several hours of [...]

I spent a few hours along the mighty Allegheny River this morning. A fog engulfed the area. I enjoy watching the fog drift past me like wisps of smoke from a wood fire. One never knows what might appear as the fog lifts. I didn’t have a lot of worms, but, I did manage to catch [...]

On Monday, July 12th, my friend, Frank Maus and I spent some quality time trolling for muskies. Although we didn’t catch any we enjoyed the day on the Allegheny River. (I jinxed him!) We did see deer; gulls and other things of interest. I saw one muskie at the surface of the water. Today, July 15th, I [...]
A MORNING ALONG THE ALLEGHENY

A great morning indeed! The weather is changing, so I decided to head out early for some morning fishing. I had a lot of worms gathered in recent landscaping ventures. I went below the dam at Kittanning and wet some worms to see what I could catch. All told, I caught one smallmouth bass; one [...]
A GREAT MORNING

Having been sick for quite a while due to asthma and allergies, I savored this morning plan to head for Cochran’s Mills for some fishing. I was traveling along old Route 359 (Garrett’s Run Road) when I noticed a car that seemed familiar. In an instance I searched the rear view mirror and saw something else [...]
