Ken Smith (Sharon); filed 6-27: “Today we caught a lot

of crappies on Shenango but nothing over nine inches,
plus some white bass. Back on the 14th, we got a late

start but had a pretty good day. As most know, crappies

are not running very big this year. We caught 40 in

about four hours, keeping only 16 that were over 9

inches. None were over 10 inches, but these were fat

black crappies. Got them in 14 feet of water after trying

as shallow as 3 feet before we found them. We coasted

twister tails tipped with Crappie Nibbles to lure them.”

stripers at Shenango.)

Lake Wilhelm
Vickie @ Fergies; filed 6-27: “Not much to report from this weekend. However, last
week customers reported some nice walleyes and largemouth bass. Plus a 17 inch crap-
pie which we weighed in the shop – came in at 2.75 pounds! That is one big crappie!”

Marci @ Lake Wilhelm Marina; filed 6-27: “It was too hot over the weekend for many

anglers to be out. With temps moderating this week, so we expect more anglers for the
weekend. Starting this July 4th Weekend, we will have the Food Truck open every week-

end for the rest of the summer.”

RJ Graham @ Graham Jigs; filed 6-19: “Today I fished Wilhelm. We fished deep with
crankbaits and Robo Worm on drop-shot rig. We caught around 30 bass.”
Colette Neff; filed 6-27: “The photo I sent shows my daughter Katelyn Neff and me. We
had to show the boys how to catch fish at Lake Wilhelm over Memorial Day Weekend.
Katelyn reeled in a 13-1/2 inch crappie and I followed with two 13 inch crappies. I en-
joyed your publications the first time I saw I mentioned on Facebook.”
Michael Baker; filed 6-14: “Attached please find a picture of some fish caught at Lake
Wilhelm. We caught them in 12 to 15 feet of water using a minnow on a jighead.”
