I caught my first couple fish the other day down south at Beltzville. Water temp hit low 50's this past weekend. I'm thinking of a trip to the "pack" sometime soon. I'm sure this "summer weather" is really going to screw up the typical spawning season. I was just curious if anyone has had some success up there yet.

i was up the other day and had one good smallie on a silver 1/4 oz hopkins in front of the state ramp at 25ft water is in the mid 40s right now thats the best i can do how is beltsville?what did you catch them on? nevr was there thought i would try it
I was out on Wednesday... Mainly getting my rig dialed in after putting 2" spacers on.
Fished some with no luck. My partner got a nice peickerel by Seelys cove. No bass as of yet. The wind was horrible and could not hold where we wanted to spoon.
I will turn on as soon as the water hits 52 - 53. Right now it was still upper
40s.
I usually fish the Pack 3 - 4 times a week. Give me a shout if you want to know anything.

I am heading there for the weekend on the 23.
Sorry it's been awhile. I havn't been out since that first weekend in April. Let me tell you, Beltzville is one tough place to figure out http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif . However, early in the spring the largemouth are right on top of any shallow shoreline crusing up and down. Any structure you can find is the place to be. You see a lot of them - catching them, well that's totally different. It's rather frustrating. Any soft plastics can catch em - natural colors like pumpkin/green. They will be bedding soon - early to mid May. June is typically a good month as well. Get out early and late in the day. Mid day is tough. Once July rolls in, I like to do a lot of night fishing. The smallies come into the shallows after dark - biggest black spinner bait you can find with the biggest colorado blade is the ticket. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif If your lucky enough you may find the stripers feeding just about anytime. Soft jerk baits/bass assasins, and bigger cranks may get you some really nice stripers. But again, like much of the fishing at this lake is right place/right time. It's really tough to pattern. Good luck this year. Me and a good friend are heading out to Erie first week of May. It will be my first trip out there. I heard it is simply AWESOME. Can't wait. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
