largemouth bass. Her brother also caught one, but his picture didn’t
turn out. Large creek chubs and shiners were my bait of choice…but
isn’t that usually my go-to offering?

Allegheny River Angler Al on Justus Lake

Pete Cartwright @ Smallies on the Yough;
filed 9-26: We started early today at 7 am,
fishing both lower French Creek and the Al-
legheny River. The water was low and cool –
first time since spring I had waders on. The
action was moderate. We hooked some nice
fish with the biggest being a fat 19.5 inch
smallie. Bass were caught on 412ubes from
412bait Company. We caught most of the fish grouped up in one hole on multiple casts
to the same spot. (See photos)

Steve Udick (Oil City); filed 9-25: Allegheny River fishing remains spotty with last week’s
high/muddy water flushing islands of grass. We got out Thursday, catching five nice bass
in deep fast chutes on Green Pumpkin Mizmo Tubes and six more on Watermelon Mag-
ic colored Zoom Super Flukes from spotty weed flats above rapids. Over the weekend,
Jim Allen and fished together. Jim got a hefty 19 incher on a black/gold Right Bite Tube
along a weedline. I picked up an 18 incher on a Bandit 100 crankbait in very fast water
five feet deep. The wiggle action of the 100 Series Bandit has out-fished the 200 Series
all summer for us. Fall bite should pick up with next week’s cooler weather. Smaller bass
are already hanging together. (See Livewell photos)

Bill Logan (Pleasantville); filed 9-20: Three lakes in two days. Canadohta on Monday.
Then Wilhelm and Sugar today. Only two bass landed. I’m hitting the river if it ever
clears up!
