From the walleye thread.

If they were taking buckets and buckets of crappie/panfish from Pymy....they are allowed. There's no minimum size or daily limit.

I'll be doing most of my fishing over in Ohio for the next couple weeks. I'll try to get down to Arthur early next month. We may have the fish-together there in May.
Sam, i got $5000. for those crappies. Do you need another bottle of HATERAID? I'm buying. Meet me at the Rec ramp around 10 and i'll put you on some slabs. Leave the attitude home. It wont catch squat.

You keep catching those crappies and sharing the catch Smitty! Anyone that beefs at you also likely hates Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and Mother Teresa. You have to understand the fear of success that exists with so many in eastern OH and western PA. Good to see you found some early ones. We'll keep hitting the trout down our way and head north when the Shenango water temps find the mid to high 50s.

Patting myself on the back..... If thats what you think, you're entitled to your opinion. Also your opinion on greed is your opinion. I can disagree but i wont. If i was keeping all those fish for myself, it would be greed. Giving fish to friends and family that doesn't fish is what i choose to do. Sure doesn't seem like a lot of people agree with your opinion but its still your opinion and i wont ever try to change that. You be you, i m i.

Somebody pat Sam's back so he can quit complaining!

I just got an invite to Latonka Friday! Have not been there since ice fishing this winter. Could not find the crappie then but caught jumbo perch after jumbo perch as fast as you could get them in! Weather is looking like it is going to be fantastic for the rest of the week! I might just catch 2500 all in one day! What a fertile lake that is!

Just wondering how someone gets to fish four days a week? Laid off? Disability? Compensation? Welfare? I guess if a person didn't have to go to work they could probably catch quite a few crappie in a year. For working folks, though, four fishing days a week would be difficult to come by.

I don't know. I worked 6 days a week, and fished 5-7 in spring, and early summer for years.

Slabseeker, The first year I retired I fished 150 days!! That includes stream, lake, and ice. The last couple of years I've averaged between 80 and 100 days. But you have to understand I'm trying to make up for lost time. While working for a living I maintained three jobs: taught school, had a remodeling business, and officiated H.S. football and basketball. All of these were over thirty or more years. And as much as I loved to fish I didn't get to go very often. So now it's "My Time"!!! Not laidoff. Not on disability, compensation, or relief. Just plain old retired and enjoying every minute of it. In fact I would recommend it to any working man. Lou

I've been fishing Shenango, Pymy, Wilhelm and Arthur Lakes for crappies for about 20 years....years ago, when I was a kid, I remember bringing home limtis of them just like today. They are abundant and have been for years...No reason to bitch in my opinion!

If you are retired, fishing would be a great way to spend the day. Nothing wrong with that. When I read that someone fished 4 days a week, I thought they were talking about a full days fishing, not just a couple hours before or after work. When I get a day off I spend around 7-8 hrs fishing. That's why I wondered how you could fish that many full days if you had a job. Besides, I'm not sure you could rack up that kind of numbers (2500) only fishing a couple hours 3-4 times a week. I could be wrong, though. I am probably a little skeptical about people because my neighbor is one of those guys who claimed an injury a few years ago, which he has farmed since then, just so he could fish and hunt. He can't work at his job, but he does all kinds of things around the house. He fishes and hunts whenever he wants to and it doesn't seem to aggravate his injury. Someone like that could get in a lot of days fishing, but people like that really annoy me. I have no problem with someone who has an honest to goodness disability, though.

Slab, i'm retired. Put 37 years in a pipe mill before imports slowed us to a crawl.When you get your time in, do like me and Lou do. I fish whenever i want to, and as long as i feel like it. I went out at 12:30 yesterday and caught 40 fish with 25 being 11" and better. Threw almost all the females back too. Only fished till 3:00. I know i could have easily C&R 100 fish if i wanted too. If you know the lake you could too. Fish fry at Linesville stumps sunday with the KCA. Come up and meet the group and talk fishing with us. This invitation is for everyone that wants to come.

Chauncy,
Glad to hear you made it to retirement in good enough health to still enjoy life. Some folks don't. Sounds like the fish are biting pretty good in your neck of the woods. Are they in shallow yet? On some of the lakes they are still staging. Good luck with the retirement and the fishing.

Slab, To add insult to injury, I'm even more fortunate because my wife still works!!! As long as I have supper on the table when she gets home she can care less as to how much time I spend on the water. She is contemplating retiring this july and I'm getting a little nervous because it may cut in to "My Time." Actually , I'm hoping she take an interest in fishing and want to go too. Fortunately she likes to eat the fish I catch so she's yet to tell me no. Just remember your time is coming but don't wish your life away in the process. Getting old is not all that fun either! Lou

Lou, Sounds like you have a pretty good thing going there with the wife working and all. As far has having to have dinner on the table....have you ever tried those freeze-dried meals? Maybe you could put one in the microwave before you head out fishing and program the microwave to have it cooked for her when she gets home. That way she has a warm meal and you don't have to leave the fishing hole. I know that won't work on 99% of the women, but you could give it a shot. I was going to tell you to let us know what she thinks of the idea, but then you'd probably have to censor quite a bit of it. My wife doesn't have the patience to fish, so I can't get her to go. She has fished with me about two times in the 29yrs we've been married and I don't imagine she is going to start now. Good luck to you, though.

Slab, Actually I have her spoiled. I like to cook so usually it's a full meal on the table. Home made soups, rolled cabbage, beef bracciole, and an ocassional grilled cheese sandwich. Of course some days we head out for pizza or some other resturaunt. And when the weather is crappy I drive her to and pick her up after. With that kind of service what is she going to say? We're going on 34 years this July which certainly isn't a record but is starting to become a rarity. Lou
