Pymie Tomorrow

Regardless of the forecast, I'm taking a trip to Pymie tomorrow. I don't get very many chances to go, so I can't pass this one up just because I might get wet. Anyway, I need some info. I am hearing they are shallow in the weeds, then I'm hearing they are deep. Anyone been there in the last week that can give me a little insight? PM me if you don't want to post publicly. I'd really appreciate any info on walleye and crappie. Thank you.

I went up this weekend, and did ok.  Nothing huge, but enough decent sized crappie to save the trip.  Got most of ours off of a point in 8 FOW.  Couldn't find any of those jumbo perch that folks were talking about, got two cigar perch.  Had a few nice largemouth self release.  Marked a crazy amount of tight lipped fish in 18-20 FOW, only 2 small bumps in 3 or so hours in that range. 
 
It took us a few failed attempts at a few launches to get the boat in the water...  We ended up at the Pymie State Park launch in Ohio, about 2 miles south of the Causeway, and was deep enough for our 17'.  Saw a guy pulling out of the Espyville launch with a 20' or so Trophy.  Guessing he didn't launch there...  Not sure if any launches would handle that size boat right now.  None that we saw at least.  Definitely need some soakers to get that lake at a decent level.

Got out about 630 pm from snodgrass and went to 19 and 20ft of water got the big goose egg and decided to check shallow. When i hit 15ft i got my first eye and that was 830 pm. I got one more before dark. Hit bottom bouncer and worm. Well i decided to run up to you the big lake and see if the waves will be good in the morning. I will let you know.

I finally got the starter in my motor and was going to go up but looks like a big ars storm coming. May wait till it passes. If I go...should say when I/ go I,ll let ya all know what happens...:) Going to check bay41 for launch if too low will head to the Ohio launch.

I waited till the rain let up and checked bay41. A canoe would have a hard time launching there..lol A big muddy bay. Went to the Jamestown launch and headed north. I apparently messed the timing up some. It ran rough till I played with thee low speed idle. The electric start worked great though. Did some drifts past beer can island with a few crappie bites. Went to the beach area and had tons of bites but only tail nipping.
The rain started down again so I called it quits. Darn battery was dead from using my trolling motor so much. Guess its time to buy another starter battery.

Heading up to Jamestown on the 10th. hope the weather is good.

Timachro

Heading up to Jamestown on the 10th. hope the weather is good.

I'm going on the 11th with some folks from church. We are renting a pontoon. Please let me know where you went and how you did as soon as you get back on the tenth. Thanks!

Oh, Ok. Good luck!

In a nutshell; Low & slow.
North end launches are about useless unless you're in a flat bottom.
Specifically, if you go out of Manning, watch for the rock(s) to the right side of the dock.

If all else fails theres always plenty of carp an catfish haha

I think it is slow every where. Fished Shenango yesterday and managed 2 small bass and 2 small crappie. I did not have bait though. More of a test drive on the motor.
 

Very nice chauncy
But you are the crappie king.

John, i dont do bad on the walleyes at erie too.

You the man!
Haven,t been to Erie since first day of trout.
Now that I have the motor running right, I,ll give Pymy a go tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing.

i'll be at pymy in the am too.  not sure where to launch yet, but i guess i'll figure it out when i get there.  any recommendations?
