Pymatuning Lake on Good Friday

How many are heading up to Pymie on Good Friday? It's my first time up there this year.

I'm hoping the rumors are true and we'll hook into a few walleyes like the golden years. The weather looks favorable, so we'll see.

And it's not much better for the weekend, just a little warmer.

If your coming, bring the chartreuse
 

Ill be out there hunting muskys

By the way, the peak is past.
There are still some to be caught
It has been real good.
Best for me in a long time.

It's nice to see things are turning around. The last time Pymie was hot was before the internet era. Its interesting to see how many people go up there just because the forums tell them to!

With wading, it's hard to target crappies. They have to come to us, in a sense. We sometimes see them surfacing and we'll tie up a jig and float it. We typically wade for walleye or bass and if we get lucky enough to see them school, we'll target them.

Best bet for crappies is a boat and hit the onion fields or red cross areas. As far as the weather, if you can get to them, you could probably get them to bite. The cold rain might chase them to deeper waters, unless they are on nests already.

Someone else probably knows more, like I said, we don't target them too often.

I'll be out there the next 3 evenings...you guys better not steal my spot!

Everything is so saturated right now, a drizzle will cause flood warnings.  Just hug the shoreline and watch out for rocks and roots!!!

Last night's northern winds probably slowed them down some, too.  You are a brave soldier braving that kind of weather!!!

Hopefully, with the winds shifting from the south later today, it will help the bite some.

With declining barometric pressure, southern winds, overcast, choppy weather....I'd be surprised if we didn't catch them today.

We normally don't use Rap11s, but I definitely have a few with me just in case!!!

That was fun....rain, wind, cold, snow.  The winds pounded from the east all evening and that storm system shut everything down.

We did catch one (21 inches) and he barely had any milk coming out.  He was also feeding because he swallowed the **** lure!!!  I have to agree, spawning is all but done. 

It's no longer "easy" catching the walleyes for 2011!!!
