Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Got out for a bit last Saturday. Overcast and mild, mid 50's - not bad for mid-January. Water was 38 degrees and stained, but not quite muddy. Lots of floating logs and debris. Plenty of bait and arches marked on the graph, especially the area between Hoffmasters & 95 bridge. We managed to catch a crappie, a tiny bluegill and a juvenile striper, all from a small stretch of channel ledge below a bridge piling. They were tight to the drop, mostly in 8-18 feet of water. All caught on a gold 3/8 oz blade bait, popping it gently off the bottom in a vertical fashion. Caught the 3 in a little 10-minute flurry at the end of outgoing tide, and that was it for the rest of the day.
