One reason I hate 12, boats! They are like a canoe. Wear a life jacket if you go in one. The guy was my age but twice my size. He was quite exhausted and was going under. The boat was upside down and submerged under water. The 3 Amish boys made a good toss with their cushion. I threw my jacket on as I went across the lake in preparation of diving in. Glad I didn,t have to!
By the way...those boys had 5 bass in their cooler and said they had many hits. They gave up on the walleyes. I should have broke out my bass gear...lol

They were having motor trouble. Guess when he pulled the rope to start he lost balance and flipped the boat. They both were large guys.

I fished the southend too. Caught a lot of crappies with a couple gills and perch thrown in too. Kept 23 over 10".  Found them in 8ft, 6ft down, around wood. Tried deep with only a couple. They hit small plastic baits under a float.

Just got back from a 3 day stay at Pymy. Fishing was good considering time of year and the low lake coniditions. Our 3 day walleye total was 15 between the two of us. Eleven or twelve were keeper sized the biggest going about 21 inches. Some taken deep in 19 feet others shallower around 10 feet. A lot of perch and gills mixed in with a few cats and crappies. Worms seemed to be the best for us. All fish were caught in the south end. Would have kept the eyes but the freezer is too full from Erie so they were released after being unhooked!

Thanks for the report. I just hope the weather cooperates.

Bdugg as of yesterday the lake is still down 32 inches, if anyone is planning on fishing the south end I would have to recommend the Jamestown marina launch as it is the deepest that I know of right now. Snodgrass is probably the second best just try to stay on the right side, it's deeper.

yeah snodgrass is a little tricky i launched out of it thursday and had to back in up to the front doors on my blazer to get the boat off the trailer.  Hopefully it wont be as bad when i go up monday or tomorrow night if i can find the time

was thinking of fishing pymy tomorrow. where would be the best place to launch i heard the lake is pretty low?

thanks, had a few guys tell me it was hard to launch alot of places cause the water was so low i didn't want to make the drive and not be able to fish. thanks again

We launched at Jamestown and as far as Pymy goes it's the only launch i would be using right now. As far as depth for those eyes goes dont be afraid to fish a little shallower.. you would be amazed as to how shallow those fish were. I was a little shocked myself, but find some quick drop offs into open water and you should be able to turn a few..

Fished from 7:30 to 5:00, not a single Crappie or Eye, marked lots of fish just couldn't convince them to bite. Picked up lots of cats with a crawler on a floating jig head drug along the bottom.
Wasn't the day I had been hoping for but was still fun.
Tight lines & God bless.

lol....tuesday afternoon....weird...deep water, kept marking suspended fish (17.5 to 20 ft deep, fish were around 13.5 to 15.5 deep), was trolling some harnesses on the bottom so I put out my sidewinder planers with a 3/4 oz inline sinker and a harness back about 75-85 ft behind the planer, (trying to get those suspended fish), I managed to catch about 7 catfish (nice ones too), all on the planers, these have to be the suspended fish I was marking, there is no way @ 1.5 to 1.8 mph a 3/4 oz lead gets to the bottom in 20 ft with 30 lb braid.  One little walleye and a small perch too, all on the planers, nothing on the bottom.
