vor Eash and Chris Bradway with a total weigh to 14 pounds and 1.5 oz. Mel Morang and
Dan King, Jr came in second. “We had the biggest Big Fish winner in the history of PLA,”
says Mike. “It was an 8 pound 3.5 oz. walleye caught by the team of Patrick Erhardt and
Patrick Erhardt, Jr. Photo attached.”
RJ Graham (Tionesta); filed 5/18: “I fished a club bass tournament yesterday. I had 5 bass
for 10.5 pounds, which was good for 4th place. The fish were scattered, but the best bass
were in the grass; I caught them on a Brush Hog.”

Darl Black @ “Fishing with Darl Black” Guide Service; filed 5/17: “The crappie bite in the
shallows was good both in North and South ends of the lake during the week of May 3rd
through the 9th; guests that week took home plenty of crappies for planned fish fries.
Crappies were taken with slip bobber-n-minnow, Brewer’s Crappie Slider and Bobby Gar-
land’s Baby Shads. Following the major cold front of on 12th – 14th, crappies shut down
and fishing was really tough putting us in hunting mode – catching a little of everything
but no quality-size crappies. By Friday, the crappies were starting to turn back on; in ad-
dition to bobber-n-minnow, crappies came on Road Runner Heads with either a Bobby
Garland Baby Shad or Kalin 2” Lunker Grub. I also landed several nice smallmouths on
Gamma 4-pound Optic Yellow Panfish line. On Sunday the 17th, I assisted Brushpile Fish-
ing host Russ Bailey and Gamma Line President Dale Black in finding crappies they need-
ed to film a TV show – read more on the GAMMA Tip Page.”
Jim McClave (Andover); filed 5/16: “Walleye action is really picking up south of the
causeway. Evening hours seem to be best. You have to battle your way through a lot of
14-1/2 inch fish to get a few keepers. Nightcrawler on a jighead is working for me; I add
split-shot if needed to keep it near bottom. Also plenty of perch, catfish and a few crap-
pies are biting.”
