I have not posted in a while. Used to post as Castnshoot, but this new format won’t let me back on using my old name.
Anyway just a short report report from Minersville. Ice is 8 to 10 inches, and no real shore to ice issues.
Right now it is 2 to 3 of the 10 to 12 inchers then a bigger fish. Those smaller fish are this falls planting, and a lot of them look a little rough. (Race Rub) Hopefully they pretty up over time.
The bigger fish are still fat and feisty, just a small amount of thinning
behind the annal fins.
There has been no real ice season for the last couple of years at Minersville. That my be one of the factors in there being so many trophy fish in there right now. A 22 incher is not uncommon, a fair chance at a 24 incher, and even a few bigger than that. So if you go treat the big ones right.
This year Minersville was planted with Large Mouth again, even though they have not taken hold in the past.
They did give it a small hit of Wipers this year which I personally am glad to see.
They also put a bunch of small Browns in as they often do. Let me know if you catch one.
Also the Small Mouth are doing good and will be ready to bite this spring.
Micro biologicals, bug hatches and crawdads seemed in good shape this past summer. I have not seen a Chub in the lake in a long time even though they are abundant in the river above and below the lake.
They did drop a lot of fire retardant close to the lake this summer.
February and March is when the Beaver mountains often get their snow, pray that is the case this year
