Woe is me!  I go north they catch em south, I go south and they catch em in the middle. 
 
But Alas, I shall continue my plight, for one day I will become successful in my endeavors to capture the ever elusive, Pymie Walleye.
 
However that being said;  you can bet your last bippy, when I do start catching them critters yinz is gonna hear-and-hear-and hear about it!
 
I gotta tell yinz though, this Monday and Tuesday past, I had a "ton of fun" fishing with my neighbor and a Army buddy of his.  Both these guys served our country for more than twenty years and I had the honor of having them on board the Fish Hawk.
 
We launched out of Snodgrass on Monday dragging harnesses and jumping jigs loaded with 'crawlers and medium sized fatheads thru deep and shallow water. Didn't get skunked but we couldn't put anything in the live well, either.  Yesterday we spent our time on the water trolling off of Manning to Linesville Causeway, then back through the stumps, where we tried our hand at catching some Crappie.  Once again, sub-legal 'eyes, a few bass, crappie, and perch but, very few fish in the live well.
 
While my past two days may sound to be unsuccessful, one must remember, there is so much more to be enjoyed when one goes fishing.  My best catch, will be the memories of fishing with two great guys as I recall, each time I launch from Manning and Snodgrass, the stories, jokes, and hardy ha haa's coming from within the gunnels of the Fish hawk.
 
To my friend Denny, his Army buddy and now my new found friend, thank-you for your service to our country and a truly fun time fishing the great, Pymatuning.
 
 

Was on the lake yesterday with some luck. Perch are active and crappie have moved to 8 to 9 ft of water. Caught a 14.5" crapie. My largest to date. North end of lake. Thanks to Robinsons Bait store for the pointers. 

wife got me a cabin in ohio for fathers day.  we went up last nite relaxed w some old friends and was totally entertained by the dozens of very young amish kids.  got up at 4 on lake at 530.  went down below stockers island trying to find a place that the amish had caught a bunch of fish the previous morn.  wasted 2 hours.  finally went north where I know the lake better.  for an hour and a half w a good wind we caught 2 eyes 4 perch  one super nice crappie and a bunch of cats.  I was thinking this a gonna be a gang buster day.  then a storm ran us off the lake.  that killed 2 hours and then the wind quit and it died.  not a bite for 1.5 hours so we headed home.  great time on my favorite lake w my son and my beautiful wife.  would not trade it for anything!
 

I agree with roygpa about pymy being super clear. Fished Saturday evening and could see everything in the water. Casted for Muskie and I could see my bucktails coming through the water a mile away very unlike pymy never experienced that kind of clarity there.
Had 2 lazy follows from small muskies.

I agree. They are behind. The weed beds I fish at Pymy haven't even reached the surface as of today. Some of my better gill spots aren't producing like in previous years.

Thanks Mopar and a great day I did have. Not only did I go fishing, I did some catching too.......I'm so happy!!

Unfortunately, I shall not require your filleting service as I have, but a few dozen, average sized Crappie that will assist me, with the initiation of my new fish dissecting table.

Normally I do not keep more than a dozen Crappie at a time. However, having had no luck so far this season I felt it to be in my best interest to ignore the preset limit and act like a glutton.

I should like to note, at this time, that I did return at least half of the total fish caught including a stupid Catfish that I chased around hoping it would be a magnificent Walleye, taken on 4 lb test mono fishing line...... stupid Catfish.
