worse for sure...it was an obessesion to get up there for this fishing trip next week even BEFORE the guys were posting pics and mentioning how many fish they're catching
Eyeassassin and I are driving up to pymatuning Wed. night to wade and fish...then spending the day up erie for Steelhead on Thursday...then driving back for walleye again Thursday night, Friday, and Saturday....should be an awesome trip....but it really needs to hurry up and get here already.

Firetiger rapalas and rattlin rogues have always been my top producing cranks for wading... and most people fish too deep

Caught a lot of fish,to many to count.
Chartrusse was the ticket,I was wading,ended with 5 keepers 16-23 inches. Raps and a few on twisters and 2 on a Jr thunder stick,but the chart. Rap was the boss. Lost a big smallmouth but that was the only one.Looks like the PFC got the stocking of fingerlings over fry right! It starting to look like the 70's and 80's a ton of short fish. The last 4 or 5 year the short fish have not been there,looks like a great turn around. The only thing I wish for is cheaper gas that $ 3 .79 a gallon blows.

High point of the trip was, dad & I both caught our PB pymie 'eyes....  his (on your left) was 28.25" and 7# even mine (on the right) was 27" and 6.25#... a better shot of mine...  full of these....  Great few hours of fishin!

3 of us waded tonight, pulled in excess of 50 fish, my limit went from 15 to 23 inches, only 1 15, the rest went 19-23, buddy took home 4 about 15-17, another angler had 3 legals when we left, hot steel and chartruese were the big winners, this lake just keeps pukin toothy fish this spring and with all the short ones next year will probably be better if thats possible

Gotta a pile of private mssgs from folks on here so I try to answwer all the questions in this post, 1-Im fishing the south end near Westford, but, I catch fish from Snodgrass to almost the causeway, dont be afraid to walk down the shore from public access points as 90 % of the shoreline goes unfished,I dont have a honey hole per se, just look for gravel bars that have some rise over the adjacent area, 2 ive been equally sucessful with f-11 Rapalas in chartruese and hot steel colors, 3- I dont wade past my waist as a pile of fish have hit almost as the lure breaks the water, 4- Im using 6 lb test line and the big thing is most folks reel too fast, crank it down for a few turns at the beginning and then slow down, when you think its slow enough, slow down some more, weve had moonlit nights where the fish will hit a lure on the surface. YOU CANT REEL TOO SLOW FOR THESE FISH, 5- 90 % of the fish we catch come between 730 to 11 pm

Good advice Blunt,slow is the key. I got my limit the other night 17-21 inches and a lot of shorties and one huge pig spawned out female 26" all full of stress red sores that I released.I'm down to just throwing the Rap 11 in chartrusse.That big hog puked up a nice size perch about 8 inches long. I fished 7:00 till midnight. I was wading to far out(up to my chest) now I'm doing better about mid thigh,one night I cast back to shore and caught some fish that where really almost on shore.
