Bald Eagle State Park (Sayers)

[trackeryak]

My wife and I just got back from a camping trip to Bald Eagle State Park. At night we fished for crappie off of the handicapped fishing pier. Tuesday night I tossed out one rod and fished a whole raw shrimp on the bottom while we fished for crappie (we caught over 100 crappie in two nights of a couple hours per night). Caught one 26 to 28 inch channel cat that put up one heck of a fight!

That is a great place to fish! I go there all the time! I never used shrimp though, thought since it wasn't part of their natural forage that they would pass it up...shows what I know, huh? LOL! You should try Blanchard (Foster, Joseph Sayers) Dam or go up to Little Pine dam! Great fishing there!

thomcat - You must of caught a 36" Channel Cat cause a 36" Bullhead would be a world record!:ooooh:

It's not hard catching crappie at Bald Eagle that's for sure. Even though they were small, it was still fun.

I never fished for catfish at Bald Eagle but thought what the heck and was pleasantly rewarded with a nice one.

I don't blame you one bit Jim for staying inside. That's what we did Thursday until we hit Opossum Lake at 8 pm once it started to cool down. All of my fishing the last few weeks has been late in the evening/after dark. Too dang hot to be outside during the day. I hope the weather breaks like they are calling for, should make for a nice few last days of vacation.
