Many years ago (10 or so) I was hunting ducks near Fries road around the little islands and was putting out decoys around 4 in the morning.  There were the usual sounds of fish jumping coming all around me.   All of a sudden a19" smallmouth comes flying into the canoe right into my lap. Takes a lot to shake me up but after I put the fish back in the water I had to go to shore to check my drawers.   

I was at snodgrass and orchard Sunday and neither of them were in yet.

Docks were in at snodgrass last night

Picked up a nice limit of eyes last night by the causeway. Had to work for it, 7 hours, but was worth it. Largest 22". A lot of boats there. I was packed in the middle of them. Fished from 5 pm till about midnight.

Was 48 on Friday night. Have to assume 53 or 54 by the end of today.
 

Thanks guys!

I keep timing the bite wrong...I've been up six or seven times and have yet to catch a walleye wading.

I should have said this year...I have caught several In the past, just keep striking out this year.

Was up on Friday and struck out on everything.  Either we were too early or the fish are late ...  All jokes aside I did see one person at the spill way with 2 nice eyes probably in the low to mid 20s range with a few assorted panfish go by, but there were lots of people at the spill way, not sure if it was due to nice weather Friday or "the fish are in" type deal...

It's no good there anymore.

This is true Pymie is dead. I heard there is a small pond off 79 down south. I think it's called Lake Arthur or something. Heard they are catching monster fish there.

Lake Arthur a small pond? Compared to what? Maybe you're referring to that rock quarry/strip mine that's visible at the first rest stop just south of the Grove City Shopping Complex??? There are very large bass that come out of there. As far as Pyme being dead - it depends on one's skills and how well the person knows the lake. No need for anyone to head up there? Sounds like propaganda to keep others away or an attempt at humor. Let there be no mistake, I'm not bashing anyone re: angling skills or anything else.

Fish5k... you are missing their sarcasm.  They are basically saying that the more people who buy into the nonsense that pymie has no fish and go somewhere else the better.  
 
FWIW I've heard people say there were no fish in Arthur many times over the years.  They were wrong of course.  I'm not sure how many people realize that these "close" lakes are completely different.  For instance if you are used to fishing the weedbeds in summer in Arthur and go to Shenango to try the same technique you will soon find out that there aren't any weedbeds there to fish.  At least not comparable to Arthur.  Each lake is different, and you need to put some effort into how that affects your fishing if you want to succeed.  
 
I am determined to hit up pymie this year... but that whole driving an hour plus after I pass Arthur really bothers me.  I'm not good enough / persistent enough to wrangle walleyes from Arthur but I think I could probably catch a couple at pymie.  SIGH.

Nice fish!  Things are finally start to heat up.

Very nice crappie and fun sounding trip.  Might be forced to use that $20 on a bigger knife...
