Picked a great early fall day for a Friday afternoon escape on Pine Creek. I caught and released a few small smallmouth and largemouth bass but hooked into the this reel screamer of a carp. Danced with this 30 inch creek carp for about 10 minute as it unreeled some line - time after time. Finally tired it out and beached it - beautiful fish.
Had a great day on Pine Creek off of Wildwood Road north of North Park, Allegheny County. Caught and released 3 sizable smallies and a few shorties. See Post-Gazette Outdoors report 9.24.2021 below
Mid-summer is here and I wanted to share some of the nice fish that I've landed so far this season. These fish come from Pine Creek, Pittsburgh, PA, Lake Arthur, Moraine State Park, PA and Sanibel Island, Florida.

I spent the day on Pine Creek and played catch and release with two rainbow trout and a smallmouth bass. The recent torrential wet weather created some huge tree downfall which will most likely add more productive fishing holes and deep pockets in the creek. Should make for a good summer of fishing.

I got some fishing in Monday afternoon on Pine Creek off of Wildwood Road (Hampton) outside of North Park in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. I landed 4 smallmouth bass with the biggest being 14 inches. The 14 incher was caught with a chartreuse trout magnet and the others with a Panther Martin spinner.
Here are some photos of our summer fishing trips around the North Hills of Pittsburgh. From the creek outside of the Ice Rink at North Park that leads to Lake Marshall, the pond at Marshall Elementary School and a few nice fishing holes on Pine Creek we had a few great trips.
