pyma spillway battles post

I was thinkin the same thing.

We ice fished right outside the break wall saturday morning then jigged the spillway all day! It was me and my brother. We didn't get a bite, but we figured if anyone would have seen an eye then there would be 20 platforms up the wall and 40 A-O's fishing over each others backs only letting their buddies in. If they shut the spillway down for early walleye, guess who to thank? I couldn't agree more with you guys. We figured this would be the only time we could get close to it without being nudged out. That's when all the people who want something handed to them go out and fish because it's easy to "snag" a walleye! As much as I would love to jig the wall that time of year, why deal with that BS?

Its a shame, it just looks bad! To bad the fish commission just doesn't have the man power to patrol it properly and bust the guys for double dippin and keeping snagged fish. That area should be closed off but it is not so it is what it is. I personaly will get my fishing kicks another way and someplace else. I am sure some of those guys are the same ones that b#*ch about the Amish.

eyes, sure they do.  they use gill nets..................jus't kidding.  back in the mid 70s, i did it a couple of times from the ohio bridge on the causeway.  guys in the boats jigging did catch fish, too.  the water ran red with the wounds on the sides of the walleyes........ratz, just kidding again.  the few fish that i did catch were legitimate.  i just did not like the crowds.  

sunday was not a WRAP for the ice , i was on it monday and yesterday caught crappies both days yesterdays were all throw backs gonna check ice later today,maybe do eve run south end didnt check ice thickness yesterday but seemed good , will check today before going to far

drill he ment sunday was a wrap for ice fishing for Us...we hardly fish pymy threw the ice anymore..

hmmm, i dont get it. Ive been campin an fishin there for since i was little, and im 23 now. Iver never heard mention of this. Can anyone explain? whats special bout the spillway and why the drama?

I agree a hundred percent they shouldn't be aloud to fish there. 

Better places to catch eyes on that lake right now anyway....

I have never been there but some of the posts say the fish cops can't always be there. Why not?? Deputy wardens are paid by the fines they collect. If the problem is as bad as some say, and it probably is,a deputy fish cop should be there 24/7. You fish where the fish are. The fines they collect would more then pay for their time. The Pa Fish Comm. must be really dropping the ball at Pymie!!!...WF

stopped by yesterday. only 3 guys fishing the walls ripping blade baits as hard as they could.

approx. 15 people fishing the shore, 2 guys had approx. 50 perch on the stringer, 2 boats at the cable. hung out for about an hour and didnt see anything of significance caught.

what would happen if someone anchored a boat up against the wall?.....boy, would the fun begin.

there was a canoe anchored right up to the cable on saturday.

Nice to see you post Chauncy!

Yes,I fished there many nights and days in the past and for the most part,I'd say the fish are released,Matt knows who snags and keeps and who runs there 1st limit home,I've seen him stand there for hours,till he gets his man.The thing I don't like is THE GREY AREA,one warden tells me if the lures on the cheek it's good,another mouth only.If the lures not IN THE MOUTH,I take no chance on a fine,any fish is not worth the 150.00 fine.
