need help

[shortfatguy]

I am in Somerset, Pa for about 3 months. Looking for help on finding places to hunt and fish. I am willing to travel on weekends to fish. I would be interested in lake Erie, The atlantic.... anywhere I can get some fish! Any Info would be awesome!!

It's probably nothing like the fishing your used to back home but in about 2 weeks the crappie should start hitting at lake somerset. then walleye opens about may 10th? I live right in somerset and usually fish weekdays alone if your interested in fishing from a boat. I usually anchor for crappie and troll bottom bouncers for walleye.

If your into stream stocked trout laurel hill creek about 10/15 miles away is probably one of the best. Yough river is open year round at some places near confluence but it is normally bigger faster water than usual around here. I don't normally fish for trout so i can't help there.

We fish lake erie tribs a lot for steelhead but it is drawing to an end. May make one more trip up in about 2 weeks. I also occasionally go up to erie to fish on a head boat for perch but the last couple trips last year were slow. It usually picks up in june. They used to charge $28 per person for a trip out that lasted from 7 till 1 or 2 o'clock. If there are 3 or 4 guys to go and we split the gas it doesn't cost to much.

Hey Thanks for the reply! I was beginning to think no one from PA was on this site!!! I would love to go fishing anytime and am more than willing to pitch in for gas etc. Let me know if you are going out. I will be working most week days but have weekends and some days will have time after work to go out.

I'll let you know once we start to catch some crappies there.

I can't get out tomorrow and i don't know what the weather change will do but today many 9 to 10 inch crappies were being caught at greenlick dam near mt pleasant. I kept about 35 but guys using minnies were catching them left and right. We were all out in boats and fishing in water about 6 to 9 feet deep.

It's to early to tell what i'll be doing next weekend but if your interested let me know and if a can get back there your welcome to go along.

My phone number is 445 5155. dave foy
