Pa shoreline is iced up, but 90+% of the lake is wide open. Come this weeks warm up it'll be completely open again. I know I have seen some boats out there over the last few weeks. Don't know if anyone has been catching anything. I can't wait to just get out I don't even care if I catch anything, just to get out fishing again will be great. Shot some geese today trying to pass some time till I can set a line. Only problem with living 5 mins from Pymy is having to drive to hunt the geese, but it was well worth the drive today.

I'll be pulling the boat out as soon as the ice is completely gone. I got iced out of the launch a few years ago when I went out and some ice floated against the launch that I couldn't break through. Talk about a fun time, throw the anchor and get it stuck in the ice then tow it out far enough to get around it haha

I had work the next day or I would have stayed out all night. It was a little nerve racking cause my 9.9 had just enough in her to push me and pull the ice luckily the ice wasn't much bigger or I don't think I would have gotten it out of the way. It was a fun experience though. One that I can check off the list of things I've done and hope to not have to do again haha

Boat gets serviced on Tuesday! Gonna try again this year. Last year was the first year in the area in about 10+ years. Didn't have much luck and got a late start. Going to start early this year and see if I can manage a few fish.

Tuttle launch is not open. They only open that for ice fishing now. Manning is just beside the entrance to tuttle. Then the causeway which is shallow then orchard. Supposed to be real windy Saturday and snow Sunday and Monday.

Are there any launches with docks in yet? Or do you have to get in the water to get into the boat? Did that before at Shenango. Not fun.

Not sure why one would have to go in the water to get in a boat, just because there isnt a dock. I can smoothly launch and trailer my boat with out a dock, with no help, and not get wet.

If there's no dock in and you back the boat into the water then there's no dock to walk out on to get into the thing. If you have a boat setup where you can back your boat right off the trailer then more power to you.

it depends on the boat/trailer setup. I am adding guide poles to my trailer for windy days. They make such a difference.
and I always carry a set of hip waders when I take the boat out, just in case u have to get wet

I know that if there is no dock in, then there no dock to walk out on. All trailerable boats I know of come off the trailer after backing in to the water, any other way would be alot harder. HAHA Please rephrase what you were trying to write, as it makes little sense I am floored by the amount of people every year I watch launch and trailer their boats, making it harder than it is. Does any one ever stop and ask themselfs "is there a better way?" One of several ways to stay dry on launching, tie a long rope on a clete in the front of your boat, tie the other end to your car,truck, front of trailer... ready the boat to launch. Back in the water, when the boat is seen just starting to float hit the brakes hard, it helps if you are going a couple MPH. the boat keep going generally enough get off the trailer, if not back up a little more and hit brakes again. Now put in to drive and drive forawrd evough to get to the rope thats tied to your car and untie and pull your boat to the shore. Tie the boat off, park your car, then climb in, if done correctly you do not get wet. If you had a fishing buddy with you let him hold the rope, rather than tieing it to your car, it would then go reverse, brake hard, boat floats, drive to your parking spot and have buddy pull boat in. There are several more ways to launch a boat and stay dry. I just cant understand why someone would think they have to get wet just to launch a boat.

It depends a lot on the angle of the ramp as well. If the ramp is steep, its windy out, and you don't have trailer guide posts, its a b!tch to keep the back of the boat straight to line it up to pull it out of the water. Doing this by yourself makes it even harder. I always have someone with me so they can get in the truck and pull it out while I wade in and keep it centered on the trailer. All of this is a trailer w/o guide posts tho. Add them on and you're set.
Regardless I fish from the boat with another person 99% of the time. Extra hands are key on the water, esp if trouble should arise.

Jefff, when you are dealing with a steep ramp, i found that backing your trailer in not far into the water is key. Aloow the front of your boat to hit your bunks and let the bunks guide you. All you need is the front of the boat tied down with the winch, even if it isnt all the way up to the front. Get it snapped in and pulled tight, the boat will not fall off.
Then pull the rigg up on dry land, finish hand cranking the boat to the front with the winch. The boat will likely need to be centered in the rear. That can be done with some pushing and rocking, i do it all the time, even with my 20footer with an I/O. it doesnt take much. Then strap it down.
