I want to catch a Striper too!!!   
 
 
Seeing the red marks on the mouth, pelvic and anal, fins I gotta wonder if the fish isn't rubbing the rocks trying to rid itself of parasites?
 
Ewwwww..................   fish fleas!     Wash your hands Captain, you might have catched fish fleas!
 

Welcome Tomcat, your not changing the topic at all, this thread is about fishing Pymie.  I trust you are speaking of the Linesville Spillway?
 
As for carp fishing the Lineville Causeway at Pymie, all you need do is bait your hook with a loaf of bread.  Also, casting "Schwebel" lures tend to produce well at times or, try a jig baited with a wrapper tie under a inflated bread bag bobber when finesse fishing is required.
 
Keep this under your hat, a well kept secrete about finding the fish, look for the birds.  Where you see flocks of birds walking on the fish tends to be a good place to try.
 
Good luck with your fishing and don't be a stranger.

Captain, that spot looks familiar?  Haha but you don't have to worry about me stealing your spot-since it's about an 82 mile trip for me to get there.  But I enjoy a road trip up once or twice a year.  I like drowning bait under a float, because you don't know what you might get into.  Oh and the snags can be pretty bad.  I set my slip float to about 3 feet, that seems to work well.
 
When I was there about 2 weeks ago-I caught 10 small bass, 3 walleye [12-16in], 2 trout, and a catfish.  Didn't get pictures of all my catches, because it's a bit tricky when standing waist deep in freezing water all by yourself. But here were a few of my catches.  

Tomcat , I'm not positive but I think those Carp kind of scatter as the weather gets colder they are not as thick in numbers as Summer time. I know mid Summer they are packed all around the outflow of the bowl and provide plenty of action. Ducks like to mess with you too while fishing there, anything that floats they are on it too!
 
 Lovgren69 nice pics , those Walleye look good and solid for their size ! Always nice to fish water that has a good mix of fish like Shenango and the Allegheny . Shenango is right in our backyard but the river took a real drop in Walleye since the stocking of fry stopped a few years back. Smallmouth still are plentiful but not many in the larger category. I miss fishing the Allegheny River we use to fish the Kennedale area, and the area near the Village of Pearl. Soft shelled crabs was the choice back in the 70's when we fished it. 
 
    We would go out the night before and hit the small creeks near our house and pick crabs. Always looked for the lighter ones they were usually the softest, just like butter ! Put them in moss and into the fridge till morning, then off to the Allegheny at daylight. Lots of Smallmouth, Catfish , Carp , and even a Pike once in awhile. I don't think there is a fish that won't take a soft shelled crab ! We never got too many Eyes but most trips we usually ran out of bait ! Great pics of your area keep em coming !

I don't know...... seems like when your wife goes along she catches fish ! When you go with your buddies you get skunked  ???? I'm seeing a pattern here ............LOL

Nice fish Marco. I'm ready for anything now. Just put a Rage in the cage on my best Ohio buck a big 12 pt tonight. I don't know how to post pics I might need your help.

marco
captain...funny you said that..i was having a banner year till I met btdt and registered...then my luck went south!...go back to my wife and it turns on again!...anybody else have this problem...walcat?
 

walcat
marco, you finally figured out that HE'S A LOSER!!!!!!! What the h#ll took you so long?????? I haven't met him face to face yet and I can tell!!!!!!! Can't see, blind as a bat. Can't sit in a tree stand right, first he's on one side then on the other. Must be making so much noise he's spooked every deer for a mile!!!! Blames it on the wind!!! Always got an excuse, never just his fault!! Just by her talk I feel so sorry for his wife! It sounds like she has no hope left!!!!! On and on!!! Sure glad my wife is a walleye catching machine. She could teach him a lot about walleye fishing but even the good woman she is, she won't waste her time on him either!
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
You guys don't like me anymore...............  I want my mommy!!!!! 


Call me a "LOSER" Walcat, well I'll just have you know, I certainly represent that remark!  So there!!!!
 
 
 
 
Registered......  you've seen how many people fish those same docks, right?   Well, do you notice there are "NO" other people fishing the docks in Marcos picture?    Probably a "Photoshop", Marcos is just trying to make us feel bad, I'll betcha.  "OR"....  or he shoved everybody into the water, what-do-ya-think?  Big bully anyhow!
 
 
 
Last but certainly not least, Captain,  just when your best ever photo op occurs.........  may your camera batteries fail !
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Seriously though Marcos, congratulations to you and your wife and your secrete is safe with me, did you push the other anglers into the water?

Keep an eye on him Big Tuna; rumor has it he is the "swimming pool bully", likes to push people in the water than splash water in your eyes.
 
Just kidding of course......................................  not! 
 
 
Some info about posting pix on the other thread BT, good luck.

Fishing pal's  !
 

That there is funny, I don't care who ya are!!!!!   The song, not you Walcat.

Any suggestions/recommendations on how to approach casting from shore in the evening for walleyes at Pymatuning this time of year up until the ice forms? What kind of shore line to look for shallow VS deep, what king of lures to use? Cast parallel or perpendicular to shore? Upwind or downwind side of the lake? Seems I always have the wind blowing in my face.   Waders needed or not? From what I have read, the eyes can come in really shallow looking for dinner, like 6 inches or less. Was going to give it a try on Saturday, but had to leave the lake due to medical reasons. She's OK, so I might get another shot the day after Thanksgiving.
 
Thanks in advance.

roygpa,  cant help you on the eyes because ..quite frankly..i suck a catching them in the fall...tried everything I knew this fall and did squat.  I even tried fishing w BTDT and REGISTERED...THAT WAS A FLOP!but if crappies interest you I may be able to help.  but..don't take that to the bank because everytime I try to help I look like an idiot!  but..i did catch a bunch the other day and goin back at 2 tom.  pm me if yr interested...I will give you all my tips and you will have a great day!...but you might not catch a fish either!...I really do try...does not work but I am meeting some great folks and having fun!!!  good luck brother!

waders indeed.  floating raps, size 11, silver, chartreuse, chrome.  fish points and 'gravel bars' in the evening to sunset.  walleye chop has always been best but i do avoid an east wind.  maybe based on old adages or decades of experience.  you may also bump into some smallies or jumbos fishing these conditions.

Rap,
Thanks, Much appreciate the tips.
You fit in more than you know.
