Foggy Morning on the Water - What an Adventure!

8/19/2020

The frogs stuck out like a sore thumb, easy-peasy as they sat along the edge of the lake. Aggressive to the hook and almost addictive this frogging. Wetook turns fishing them but in a short time we had 15-16 “hoppers” caught and a limit (8) in the ice down bucket of the nice 5-6” croakers. Then it was time to fish for Bass, Bluegill and Green Sunfish. We both rigged up a rod with a Satra Special rig on the line with a medium leech. We tossed into 2- 3’ of water near a known drop off dropping to depths of 12’. Instantly, we were catching fish on the ultralights. A dozen 10-14” bass, small Bluegill and Green Sunfish were caught, and lots of fun was had. A good morning for birding, bird photography, catching bullfrogs and fish from the boat!

Proper handling is important when you catch small fiddler catfish! Fun trip for this young man!
Busy night catching fish for these 2 anglers - they caught and landed 90+fish - a very good bite! We caught lots of small Bluegill 5”-6.5” in size, and Green Sunfish from 4”-7” we found in 5’-12’ of water fishing with jigs, Satra Special rigs, and slip bobbers tipped with leeches and Euro nightcrawlers. The guys caught numerous Bass of all sizes, 11-12 fiddler Channel Cats and a handful of small Black Bullheads. Father and son had a great time catching fish and learning new techniques to catch fish. Nice evening of fishing with a light breeze. The rock breakwaters and drop offs to 8’ were “hot” late as the sun was setting. They kept a handful of fiddler Channel Catfish to stink the skillet! Otherwise Catch and Release the fish! It is always fun to explore the variety of aquatic habitats and structures that Conestoga has to offer!

Conestoga Afternoon Fishing

A hot Saturday afternoon fishing trip with my lovely daughters and their mom (book reader) at nearby Conestoga Lake. We fished using light tackle, small jigs w/plastic bodies and live bait Euro nightcrawlers and small ribbon leeches. Practiced a lot of catch and release fishing with the young, small immature, 60+bluegill (4-6.5”), 40 +green sunfish (3.5-7”), bass 12" and the 3 fiddler C. Catfish (12-16").  Read that Rock Bass, Crappie and Walleye had been stocked, none sampled again with Hook & Line methods, likely too small yet to hit a jig with a big leech. The small Bluegill dominated the catch from mid- lake fishing sites!! A fun afternoon of fishing with my daughters who like to catch fish no matter the fish size and they enjoy the hot afternoons better than early mornings. Their awesome fishing guide doesn't like the hot 90 F heat, not so much. We had fun though at newly rehabbed Conestoga Lake.
