Limit Of Perch Onboard O Danny O Charter

Took my son out for a treat this evening on his first perch fishing charter. We headed out off the point and bagged a two limit of 60 perch in about 3 hours. Had a great time, would recommend this boat for anyone. Nice boat, handled strong East winds with no problem and landed on a ton of perch on the first drop. Deck hand Justin did a great job keeping everyone happy. My son had a blast and now is really turned on to perch fishing.

Huge Musky In PA Small Water

Took the kids fishing for panfish at a local farm pond south of Erie. My daughter used a large glo jig head with a crawler on. Her line went screaming and a mighty fish went airborne. Monstrous in size, she fought it for over a half an hour. Believe it or not, she was using a Zebco 202. Finally after exhausting the fish, we were able to drag it to the shoreline. Fish had to be up to 5 foot and 25+ pounds. I did not try to net the fish(did not have a net that size anyways) or try to harm the fish by taking it out of the water. Steep bank, had no chance lifting it anyways. Just bent down and cut the line when fish was in the water. water was stained and murky, went fishing right after the rain. Daughters rod broke in half after fighting the fish 30 minutes and hand lined exhausted fish to shore. Fish revived once unhooked, made a large splash and headed for deeper water. An amazing experience for all of us.

Channel Catfish In Bay Off Erie PA

Took my son for an evening of summer fishing. Bite was slow and had to fight strong west winds. Bay was rolling with mud and waves strong. Landed nice Channel cat in murky water towards evening. Gave him a great fight.

Green Sunfish At Woodcock Stream

Took the kids for another overnight camping trip to Colonel Crawford Park in Woodcock Crawford County. Ran into a school of Green sunfish. Really cool fish. Very aggressive, colorful, with large mouth and colored highlights on the tips of the fins. Note the coloration differences to the common bluegill or other species of sunfish.

Camping & Fishing On Pennsylvania State Parks

Took the kids to one of our beautiful PA State Parks. We are so lucky to have some great areas to fish and camp. Kids caught plenty of fish, and quite a few jumbo Bluegill. Some of my favorites include Pymatuming, Woodcock, and Chapman Dam. All 3 of these choices offer excellent fishing, good hunting nearby, and clean facilities. We opted for tent camping, and found a nice quiet rustic spot. Enjoyed watching wildlife and took some time to enjoy the water for some fishing. All three spots are worth exploring, as each have their own varieties of fishing and hunting opportunities. Panfish are quite abundant, as well as larger species including Walleye and Musky. Saw plenty of deer, and Bear are not far away for great hunting choices. There are some nice sites in each park, with quiet settings with woods. Just a great time to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Flagship Niagara Sails Through Channel In Lake Erie

While fishing for bluegill last evening on the South Pier, I had the pleasure of watching a magnificent vessel. The Flagship Niagara went through the channel. It is the Flagship Of Pennsylvania and the warship that won the Battle Of Lake Erie in the War of 1812. She first set sail in 1990, a reconstruction of Oliver Hazard Perry's victorious 1813 warship. It is owned and maintained by Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. We are lucky to have this wonderful piece of history in our hometown of Erie PA.

Lake Erie Walleye Move Off North East Marina

Fished for Walleye this morning on Lake Erie Off of North east marina. Fished in 55 ft of water right due North of the Marina. Drifted Crawler Harnesses and had three on and landed 2 nice fish. A 28 incher and a 30. Lake was calm, made drifting difficult. Would have caught more with choppy water. Great day to be on the Lake.
