"I'm down to just throwing the Rap 11 in chartrusse.".........is that what happened to me?

big bob, look for points on the south end. these are, for the most part, 'gravel' bars.

or just look for me....I'll be the guy in the camo Gander Mountain hat with close to a stringer full.....

Thanks for sharing that info Bluntman  !!  It's not everyday that one will actually "give up" how and where they are catching fish.  Although I only fish from a boat and have never waded, there are others who do or would like to try it but really have no starting point as to what to do or where to go.  Again, many thanks!

uh, that's my disguise. however, i fish the ohio side most of the time.

rap...sorry for stealing your disguise!  I just found the hat and I'm bringing it out of retirement this weekend.

agree, tuna. as this moon fades, so does the shallows fishing. the next act are the crappie moving in. watch for the dogwoods.

With all the good tips and info from the guys on the thread, I headed out last night for my first time. Picked a random point on the south end and decided to give it a try. Landed two walleyes between 7-10. Overall, it was a succesfull trip and planning on heading back in the next couple days. Caught on a firetiger f-11. The three guys next to me landed 3 while I was there. Thanks for the help.

fished from 730 to 930 tonight landed about 10, 3 keepers 17, 18 and 20 inches, slowing down, but still pretty good  
 
 

anytime buddie it was good to get into some eyes for a change 

i was hoping to get up pymatuning this weekend. have they got any more boat launches ready? is the causeway closed for construction? thanks in advance. i may as well ask..........i will be with my 71 year old father, and all he ever wants to do is drift, drift, and more drift fishing. we were up a couple weekends ago and did not have much luck. was curious if it has picked up at all.

As of today:  Causeway still closed.  Orchard docks were in as of last Thursday. However, launch gate is closed as of 1pm today.  Manning and snodgrass launches not in.  Causeway launch in but with 10+ feet of water between dry ground and the dock.  Water is extremely high!!! With today's winds coming out of the south straight up the lake, the waves were crashing on top of the causeway (made for a fun drive across to the turn around on the Ohio side).  Road closed just before manning (coming from causeway marina) because of water across the road.  Have not been out on the boat yet, so I can't say as to the fishing out on the lake. 

Again this was as of about 1pm today.  If we get more rain, it will only be worse as far as the high water and flooded roads go.

No, tuttle is gated off.  You can get to manning.  North Lake Rd is closed just before the stop sign (where the creek crosses).  To get to manning you have to come in on Fries Rd.  As for this weekend, I can drive past again Friday and see if they re-open it, it will depend on how much rain we get between now and then...

Also forgot to mention, the road behind the welcome in is closed from the dirt parking area on the lake side to the bridge.  The lake is up to the road and the waves were causing debris to build up on the road...

I fished yesterday morning and put in at Jamestown.  Water is up to the road at the launch.  Another foot or two of water and the parking area will be under water.  Docks are in but you can' get to them.  Did catch 2 eyes and 3 crappies before the wind chased me off.

wow...........yet another reason for my father to get frustrated.........the water being too high. lol i think we will wait till next weekend. plus my wife just informed me that our anniversary is saturday. almost screwed that all up. thanks for all the info.

Cold rain is right.  Fished the south end this morning one nice eye and 4  really nice crappie.  Had to wear some gloves this morning, hands we aching like crazy.
