Super Fishing Going On Now !!!!
May 20th, 2012
As many of you know I travel all over Beaver Valley fishing and talking to fishermen. I have fished everyday for the last two weeks and have had a ball doing so. I have fished early in the morning and late in the evenings and have done fantastic at both times. Here are my picks this week of where to head out to fish.
New Brighton Dam. Located in New Brighton Pa. is doing fantastic. Walleye, Saugers, Bass, Hybred Stripers are all hitting. Cotton Cordell Shad colored lures or Fire Tiger lures are working great. Deep running lures will work on the Walleye and Sauger while top water lures will work on the Stripers. Cast to the white water and work both types of lures back to you. This area is being heavily hit so don’t be surprised if you cant get a spot. A little ways down from the dam is an area designed for the handicapped. This area has a long fishing pier and is super easy accessible. The ramp leading to it is brand new and wide for easy wheelchair accessibility. Nightcrawlers and minnows fished on the bottom have produced Walleye, Sauger and Bass with regularity.
Kell’s Riverside Saloon in Bridgewater Pa. is one of the most over looked areas in Beaver Valley. I have seen everything caught here from Northern Pike to Kentucky Spots to Walleye and Saugers. Rapala’s and Big O’s will work in the early morning hours. But fathead minnows drift fished or even under a bobber will out beat lures everyday of the week. One trick here is to fish the minnows on a floating jig head about a foot off the bottom.
Freedom Point Located in Freedom Pa. is unreal. I have personally been here fish about five days this week and have caught fish every time. This is the only place I have had fish break my line off . I… Read the rest
