Knapp: Taking a moment to count my blessings out on Lake Arthur (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the sayings I’ve heard and read over the years is “there’s a lot more to fishing than just catching fish.” The implication is the activity brings with it secondary benefits that often outweigh the primary objective. This occurred to me recently when John Galida, of Butler, joined me for a morning of crappie fishing on Lake Arthur. If you’re old enough, you’ll recall Galida’s Sporting Goods along Route 422 just east of Moraine State Park. It was the showcase of hunting and fishing equipmen
Knapp: Snap jigging glide jigs are tricky but can have big payoff when fishing for walleyes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Judging by the deep bend in the medium-power spinning rod my friend Sid Brown was gripping, the fish was a substantial one. Certainly not one of the modest-sized white perch or yellow perch that had made their presence known throughout the day. Gingerly working the fish toward the surface, through the lightly stained water of Pymatuning Lake, we saw a quality-sized walleye. It thrashed in protest, made a final dive and was brought back up, giving me a chance to scoop it up in the net. Sid’s wall
Knapp: Using surface lures is one of the most fun ways to catch smallmouth bass (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dan Brown made a cast close to the bank, something he’s quite adept at. Soon after the lure’s splashdown, with his casting rod held high to lift the line off the water, he began a steady, moderately paced retrieve. The surface bait moved less than a foot before a chunky smallmouth bass intercepted it. The scene replayed itself dozens of times during a trip last week to the Allegheny River. By the time we loaded the boat back on the trailer, Dan had boated over 50 bass, the majority of them on th
Knapp: Understanding different strategies for winter and summer with jigs, baits and lures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The spot of Crooked Creek Lake was a familiar one: a large portion of a tree that found itself lodged in the bottom of the lake near the original main creek channel. Over the past few years, I’ve taken dozens of crappies off it, along with the occasional bass and channel catfish. On this day, a hazy but thankfully cloudy morning that buffered the rapidly rising temperature, the fish were responding to a light 1/16-ounce jig retrieved slowly over the upper reaches of the tree’s branches, woody co
