Ha! That's funny! I wish Spruce Run would do away with that ghetto boat rental. All those people do is annoy me.

Last Saturday afternoon, there were a pair of rental boats chasing each other around, doing fighter-plane maneuvers out on the water. The waves they were making were making me sea sick.

I find those pontoon boats really annoying, too. What's more annoying than seeing the same boat full of idiots motor past you and again and again.

To be honest, its not a great place.

I have to disagree with you on that. It's not an easy place to fish - it's a tough place to fish, for sure. But I think it's a good reservoir.

It's very heavily fished due to its proximity to population centers and easy access from Route 78. I swear, some evenings that boat ramp looks like a parade going backwards with all the boats launching. I have never seen the pier unoccupied from April until October.

But the waters are fertile and the state keeps it well stocked. I never fail to catch Channel Catfish there in the summer, even if I'm not fishing for them.

People who really know what they're doing, (I'm not one of them) do well there with Hybrid Stripers and Bass.

I'll post another fishing report in a week or two. I've been working on something there I want to make a thread about.
