You would be correct about a foot. Still 2-3 more to go to regular height but it's coming up. Fished this evening at the soullway and picked up some small perch, well the others there, I couldn't catch one if my life depended on it. Nothing to write home about though and it was cold and windy still. 2 more weeks should start seeing the males moving in. The weekend of the 24th would be my guess on when it starts.

The reports are glorified in my opinion
sure they are catching them......how many...not many

I would definitely have to agree with this statement! I called every bait shop on Pymatuning yesterday. All the shops but one said the same thing; "People were catching walleye and crappie on a consistent basis". I am not going to mention any names, because I don't think that would be fair. But it would be easy to figure out!

Does it hurt to actually be honest when someone calls on the phone to get a report? With $4 gas on the horizon, a little honesty goes a long way! Not shops looking to bring business with false reports. But that's my opinion. I was a regular at another shop until yesterday. Another shop has just got a lot more of my business because of the honesty.

Take it for what it's worth. Just an opinion. Remember that!

Do you have your favorite spots or do you just fish where the rest of the crowd goes? Lots of guys catch fish because they have spots away from the crowd that produce for them all year. These may be the guys the baitshop are talking about. If you're confident in your ability to catch fish and have spots that you know hold fish, the price of gas shouldn't be the issue. Dont go if you dont have the confidence. Wait til everybody shows you where they are.

spillway at 6:00 looked like first day of trout or remember the trout pond at seaworld was not able to stop to check if the bite is on but one good sign is the fish comm was there dressed in referee uniforms i just wish they could stay there long enough to make sure people are catching not snaging

As of yesterday it was pushed off to the side by the wall, in about a foot of water or less. Saw 1 small fishing boat and a short pontoon on the water.

Haven't been out lately cause of work. I'll be out tomorrow morning then if the weather holds up the boat will be in the water Thursday!

Went out this morning. Water temp 38-39 so its still cold. One guy was there from 10 last night till 9 this morning with one fish. Long night for one fish. The 24th weekend is looking like the ticket with this week and next week of warm temps and rain.
