Opsman that's going to be super nice when the renovations are complete and I'll bet Linesville is gonna be a busy place, especially with a new ramp and dredging of the area.
 
Brock I sure can't get comfortable fishing shoulder-to-shoulder be it, standing on the bank or, waist deep in the water.  After watching the causeway at Linesville I'll guarantee I'll find places elsewhere before playing 'bumper boat" trying to catch Walleye.
 
Speaking of standing waist deep in water, that never worked for me because the rest of the line would be waist deep too, but standing four feet in front of me.
 
Tight lines, hope to meet yinz on the water.

the beaver was really something else I remember fishing
below the dam with my uncle when he left his mt coke
can, the next day we were back up and the fish were
not hitting at all, so my uncle went ahead and picked
all the cans and trash etc. that was laying around and placed it
on a pile where it could be picked up , then warren beaver
showed up and thanked my uncle for picking all the litter
people had tossed and then handed him a fine for leaving
his can overnite

Gotta go now, better half says it's time for my therapy soooooooo, I have to go hook the boat and head north.
 
Be back soon!

Thanks Roy, it was good. Rich, I really like light breading or corn meal style coating. I'm not one for the batter dips , they just seem too greasy. I even like plain baked fish with a little seasoning. Got lucky with a couple fresh Walleye for today. I bought that Shore Lunch just haven't cracked open the box.....soon.
 
Big Tuna, you got some good stories and tips up on Pymatuning, sounds like you put some serious fishing time in over the years. I fished Linesville fairly steady in the 70's but gave up on Pymy on into the 80's & 90's. Started fishing the Great Lakes and local fishing kind of faded away. Now I mix it up about 80% local , 20% North.      

It's a start BTDT ! Too bad he wasn't a Perch that would be a beauty.
 
Persistence will pay off...........someday......sure beats working ! 

Going to rain all week or I'd invite myself to fish with you BTDT.  :)  Besides I get my boat back tomorrow and it needs work!  Keep learning that lake buddy.  Nice catch, too!

The wife cooked up a mess of crappie and gills from my short ice season,they where quite tasty. She made 1/2 hot Cajun and 1/2 in Italian 4 C's bread crumbs,hand cut French fries,homemade onion rings,and homemade coleslaw. I must have done something right,to get a meal like that, she been slacking on the fish fries this winter.BTDT , I'm know expert but you might try shallow warmer water, I did well on the sand bars dragging 1/8 oz leadheads with chartreuse 3-4 inch tails. Also it's about time to throw black and silver Raps of the gravel points in the low light times. That sand bar down from Wilson was my favorite early spot. Captain Hook, I did the same as you Pymy was my go to lake,then we graduated to the big ponds Erie on Ontario. Big water big fish. Now I'm 63 big fish don't seem to interest me, I'll take a delicious mess of big gills or slab crappie or jumbo perch. Good fishing,with all the rain coming next week the spillway will be on fire. Going to fish all night one day next week there but it will be out of the boat,not the wall. Any slab action yet bridge 20?
 

Nice catch Crappie, love the "Catch & Carry theme"!   
 
 
Big Tuna, thank you for the 'heads-up', greatly appreciated.  I gotta get more serious about fishing when I'm on the lake, I heard playing with my Helix too much, I could have vision problems.
 
Catch a bunch.

I've heard somewhere to stop when you need glasses?

Great post old dog. The simplicity of it and being out enjoying nature is what it's all about. Got out early this am for a few. Kept a mixed bag of 9 nice panfish. Little slow, but got to see a beautiful foggy sunrise and 2 mature eagles buzzing around. I'll be out searching for Walter again tomorrow evening. Wading in the rain is another favorite pastime.

Spring has sprung, the grass is riz (it's workin on it)
 
I wonder where all the birdies iz (ain't seen no Red Wing Blackbirds yet(or is it Black Wing Red Birds?))
 
AND....... it iz time to set your clocks for Daylight Savings Time. (spring forward; fall back)
 
Your Welcome.
 
 
Went fishing at Pymie today, (don't ask (stupid fish)) went back home, end of story.
 
Leave me alone, I'll get over it, thank you! 

I've had a flock of the Redwings in the back yard every morning. Been seeing quite a few Robins and bluebirds out this way too.
Hopefully this week the bite will really start!
