Title: Weekly Fishing Report
Post by: Thor on Apr 15, 2011, 01:40 PM
In case anyone is interested, I am posting a link to a weekly fishing report published online by the Allentown Morning Call.  The report is SEPA-centric, but it does include the Lehigh and Delaware rivers, Lake Wallenpaupack, Beltzville, Blue Marsh and other locations across eastern PA.  It also includes a saltwater report.

The reports are usually submitted by local tackle shops and guides, and it is usually updated every Thursday or Friday.  The report should get a little better once the fishing season is in full swing.

Here is the link:

Excellent...Tom, I stickied this topic.  So if you'll keep it up to date it will stay there.  Nice find.  You can just post the next report in a reply next time it's out.

I checked for an updated fishing report today, and it wasn't updated yet.  Last week's report is still posted.  I will check again and update asap.

Thanks Tom.  PA should all appreciate what you're doing.
Title: Re: Weekly Fishing Report
Post by: Thor on Jun 16, 2011, 08:24 PM
You're welcome.  The only bad part about posting these reports is that I read them first.  Then I get bummed out thinking about all of the great fishing that I'm missing out on.  I need a vacation!

Post by: Thor on Aug 03, 2011, 10:29 PM
Sorry about the lack of reports.  The blog had not been updated for a few weeks, and I stopped looking at it.  I just looked at it for the first time in weeks, and the fishing report has been updated.  Here is the report as of July 28:

Still no fishing report, but the Lehigh Valley Wild blog has been updated for the first time in months.  I would hope that the next report will include the eastern PA fishing report.

Despite not having any fishing reports, this week's entry does include some good info about ticks and preventing Lyme disease.  Here it is, and I hope to update it again soon:

   Not the first one of this year. Look on the lower right of the blog. the archives are there. Been a report
in the paper every Friday for a while now. ;)
Title: Re: Weekly Fishing Report
Post by: Thor on Jun 08, 2012, 08:14 PM
I see the archives, but isn't this the first fishing report of the season?  Over the last couple years, I believe the fishing reports were updated almost weekly beginning in March or April.  This report for June is the first fishing report that I have seen for the 2012 season.

Am I missing it?

Been fishing local spots. Hopewell, The big O, Kerchers creek lake & Blue marsh. Some from shore & in my boat on warmer days. Nothing really biting. The water temps are to cold. Between 39 & 44 mostly. Funny how those same fish bite through the Ice. But not in open water  ???

Several Bass & a few crappies yesterday.Water temp. was 48 - 50. Now were having 2 cold days again. By the weekend the water should be in the 50s.

WOW  :o I thought I was the only pa person on this site. Nothing magical . I just fish & find places to catch them. We dont catch them in droves. It takes a few hours to catch a couple of those big slabs.You put your bobber n minnow out & wait till one decides to bite. Once the bite really turns on. And I catch 30 plus crappie an outing. Catching those big ones is rare.Because the little ones bite bite it.
