Ahh yeah I think we've chatted before. It's coming back to me, I more specifically live in Pittsfield, lived in the area my whole life, my backyard is the Brokenstraw.
I camped and hunted right next to Kinzua back in October and it was almost bone dry . Didn’t realize there were any members on saddlehunter from that area.

Has to do with how they are running the dam.
They drop it quite a bit starting in September. I boat it all summer almost every weekend. First picture is the pool level from a few weeks ago (from my drone), second picture is shows the summer pool level on the shoreline (my buddy took this pic when we were heading out to where we were meeting friends).

Kiddo and I broke loose today for a quick duck-feedin' and fly-yeetin' session. She's finally big enough for a life jacket, and will definitely do some sandbar hopping on the local blackwater with me this year.

She’s a cutie! Enjoy every moment, they grow up fast.
Awesome day fishing one of my hunting spots. Didn't get my target fish (some species of sucker) but caught 4 species.
This warm spell had bass fired up. Little Miss doesn't know why we don't just leave those ditch pickles on the blanket for her to chew on.
The kiddo didn't wanna wake up and go with this morning, so I took my dog with. He's never been on the ice before, so the entire process confused him, and he wasn't sure what to do about these fish I kept pulling in. Caught a whole mess of sunnies, not a bad day fishing
My lab, Ole Amos, was mighty confused the first time we went fishing. Usually when I toss things in the water, I ask him to go get them. It took him a bit to understand I DID NOT want him fetching my Whopper Plopper. And the look on his face when I let the first bass go was priceless.
Every once in a while, I like to send him out to "retrieve" a released fish. He will spend several minutes splashing around, diving, and jumping up in the water so he can look down into it better.

Amos stories never disappoint. “Named him after a man of the cloth” had some of your best lines. I may be biased toward dog stories though.
With hunting season winding down I decided to change up the morning routine the other day on the way to work so instead of my regular hunting podcast I put on the Alabama freshwater fishing report. I swear the host sounds real familiar. I just can’t quite put my finger on it… Oh well.
I can't stand that guy's nasally redneck voice. He knows next to nothing about fishing, and he can barely speak English.
Well at least it’s not the Alabama saltwater fishing report, lol.
Seriously though, good questions were asked and things were learnt. I’ll listen again.
I'll definitely let my boss know about that! He shares my dislike of listening to his own voice.
I didnt know you did this. cmon up this way sometime man, we can run up to lake of the woods on the Canadian border, and catch some walleyes.
@Nutterbuster you ever hard water fished before?
I've fished under the influence of fire water. But that's about it.
ice fishing is something else, it can be a lot of fun when you get on top of the fish.
