Pymatuning Musky

How could you not see any of the musky guys trolling?  I rarely fish that lake anymore because of how many guys are pounding all the hotspots every day.  When you see guys in 6' of water going 5mph you know what they are doing.  It's been a numbers lake for the last 10 years but has been putting out some pretty nice ones for the past 3 years.  I know of a few 50's that have came up for a quick picture in the last couple years.

That's what is strange to me about the walleye population going downhill, historically the great musky lakes have always been great Walleye lakes also, Chautauqua, Rainy Lake, Lake of the Woods, etc.  But with Pymatuning the Muskies have been rebounding but the walleye population is dropping, that's what makes me think something un-natural is going on up there and that maybe the guys claiming the alewives are eating the walleye fry are correct.

Wow, wouldn't have thought that...
Course I don't get around the lake much...
I try to stick to my little chunk of heaven.
Thanks guys.
 

saw that also, it was nice seeing them get all them fish but they KNOW what there doing.  there's so many factors that they have down to a tee.  I read that they had a tough time at pymy and that there were short windows of opportunity when the fish came.  I sure wish the show was more educational or told their tactics because I would love to know! 

bings, we get 4 or 5 every spring trolling shallows early season for walleyes.. not big muskies, but you usually know right away its not a walleye, although i did get one around 40 inches about 3 weeks ago on a worm harness, ...
