Couldn't manage to find any eyes yesterday. What I did manage to find were a few large channel cats and a friggin stump with my prop. Not my happiest day on the lake, and I'm sure the few boats within earshot knew it.

Down south of Snodgrass a ways. Wasn't anywhere near the shoreline where I figured it would be that shallow, but the lake is down a few feet and I came up over a hump in the lake that topped out around 2ft. Prop is pretty mashed up, but I guess that was better than my first thought that I had blown the rings out of the motor

Sorry about your luck Crappie_Slayer that just plain sucks. I was working in the yard yesterday and was wondering what all the rumbling was about; coming from the Pymie area. Stupid stumps!!!

Anybody eat the catfish from Pymatuning? Caught some decent ones this year. In the past I have only caught catfish in the three rivers around Pittsburgh and there are consumption advisories on those fish. What's the proper way to prepare them, skin them first with those skinning pliers and then fillet them?
Do you deep fry them?
Thanks
Roy

we eat the channel cats all the time...just channels..nothing else. we filet them just like a walleye...lose a little meat that way, but the plier method takes too long. they are as good or better than the eyes.

Out from 4:30-7:00. No eyes, but 15 channel cats. Good size for the most part. If I kept all the channel cats we caught during the year there's be no room in my freezer. Had a fish on today I thought was gonna be a nice eye, but ended up being this guy. 1st bowfin I've ever caught on pymy.

Congrats on your Bowfin Crappie and thanks a bunch for the update. I bought three dozen crawlers this past Tues. and just can't seem to get up to Pymie to use them; sure have been wondering what the action has been like. Maybe this weather change will turn the bite on next week. Just hope the wife don't find the crawlers in the fridge; I may be eating left-overs I don't think I'd care for!

Goodness gracious what a day on Pymie; I'm tellin ya, if ya like 'Rocking and Rolling' ya should of been in your boat on the water today. I was pullin harnesses and jigs while maintaining 1 mph (gps) and the motor wasn't runnin. I know fishing has it's ups and downs but, I never dreamed it would be quite like it was today. Heck, even the sailboats were laying over and me, not being use to seeing that, I thought a couple of em were going in the drink! When I launched at Snodgrass there was a light chop on the water but, by the time I got halfway to the islands on the Ohio side I was reaching for the rain gear. Dad-burn waves was breaking over the bow of the boat like I was crabbin on the Bering Sea or sumpthin. Made a few passes over the shoal off the big island hoping walleye might be waiting on the other side for dinner; which reminds me, I won't be having walleye for dinner. Moved out to deeper water, at least it looked like deeper water on the locator but, may have just been the results of riding a wave. Eventually made my way back to the PA. side where the water became calmer allowing for some drifting over humps and bumps. Wellllll I don't want to be long winded so I'll just sum up my trip to Pymie today.............. stupid North wind  Crappie-Slayer I can see why you whacked a stump; must likely on one of the submerged islands south of Snodgrass, the lake is certainly low. Most likely in preparation to the scheduled improvements for the Spillway. OH yeah....Temp. of water (surface was) 70`F. on my locater; 12 degrees colder then the last trip and with the wind whipping the lake about, better get ready to do some catchin! Til next time,

Good luck Marco, IF we can trust the weather dude's report we're looking at some beautiful conditions (except for 'bluebird day' syndrome) this week. Had some old friends from the 'Burgh' that stayed in those cabins when they was 'mupere' fishing; those are a nice set-up and, the rental cost was reasonable. I tell ya these guyz were such good friends; for a pick-up full of fire wood, they'd let me visit and give me a beer.  To this day, I don't think they ever figured out why the 'drain plug' wasn't in the boat when they launched one morning.  Catch a bunch.

Better luck next time BTDT. For what it's worth, i've boated more fish with a stiff north wind this year than having it from any other direction. Heavy chop = fish stink in the boat :). Good luck this week Marco. Hope you got some fish pics to share when you get done.

Ice Nut I think the fish are still sick from all the wave action yesterday or, they haven't found their way back after being washed down to the dam. Walcat, ummmmmmmmmmm................. NO! I'm sure everyone out there has experienced that rocking feeling, while sitting in their easy chair at home, after being in a boat on choppy water all day. Wellll I had my share of that feeling too...... fell out of bed three times last night. Thanks for the offer, I just can't go the Erie thing cause I know I would be needing a bigger boat even if I didn't catch a fish. Such a vast amount of water and sooooo many places to go, things to do and, people to see. That would great! I'm not saying the waves were huge but, it was one right after another, some higher then others and, constant. When I first shut the engine down the bow of the boat was facing into the waves and wind. I stepped to the bow deck, bent over to pick-up a fishing rod and was ever so grateful there was a fishing chair to grab a hold of, to keep from going over. Just that quick, the boat was sideways to the waves and it was every man for himself. I spent the next couple of hours standing between the consoles pretending to be fishing. It's not that I wanted to continue fishing that area; it's just, I couldn't release my grasp on the steering wheel long enough to start the motor. The last time I experienced wave action like that was the July Fourth weekend on Shenango. Gotta git, I hear a nap calling my name.
