RV or SR reports?

[ratherbe]

Anyone out there these days? Reports died off in the last 2 weeks. I know the fish are still eating. personally have not had a chance, poor weekend weather, seasonal work and sick kids...

Counting days until I can get to the water again.

I went to Round Valley about a day ago for some night fishing. Caught two small largemouths (before sun set) and two bullhead catfish after sunset. bigger bullhead was over a pound.

I'll try Spruce Run next week for night fishing.

Nice, have had a tough time with bigger largemouth over at RV - always seem to be in the 10-14" range. I assume the lunkers are sitting on deep structure somewhere in the lake. They have to be there somewhere, no? Lake has too much forage - stockies, herring, shiners, craws etc

Same techniques / bat for both LM and cats?

Was at RV on Tuesday night.

Didn't post a report since server went down at work so been busy like no tomorrow.

But all I got was two smallmouth (very small), one pickerel and one channel cat. Size was small nothing to brag about and released all of them.

Work will keep me up till late so it will be awhile before I break free again. Only thing I am looking toward is hitting up Lockport on weekends for some stellie, late salmon and trout fishing.

I used a crankbait on an ultralight rod for the bass (they were in that 10-14 inch range like you said) and for the bullheads chicken livers on bigger medium action rods.

It seemed very deep where i was fishing. is the main launch area a bit shallower?
Also wanted to try the Ranger's cove or second launch area on Round Valley (not sure what it's real name is). it's further southwest of the two main launches at the northwest side of the lake.
