BTDT:
The guy in the pictures is the biologist that was out retrieving the nets in the spring of 2016 south of Epsyville and I just happened to be there. He and his partner brought the boat close to shore so that I could watch them count the fish and ask questions. They had about 8 keeper walleye in the net if I remember correctly.  It was very educational.

Do you know if his name is Tim Wilson? Nice guy. Sent an email ****ing about bradys run(stunted crappie and bass) earlier this summer and we have emailed back and forth a bit. He emailed me back even though he is NW section biologist because he helped do Bradys Run this spring. I think they just posted a lot of bio reports, he sent me an email last week because they posted Brady's Run. 600+ black crappie, not one over 9", 300+ white crappie and biggest was 10". Bucket biologists have always screwed that lake up. Before the draining and refilling I saw sauger and 1 northern pike caught through the ice. Unless sauger and pike can jump a 30 foot spillway, some idiot put them in there. Now there is a gizzard shad problem, they caught 140, way better than last one in 2013 or 14 but still a lot for a 25 acre shallow water lake. Only 2 carp.

I don't know why it didn't make my post a link. Oh well it served it's purpose! I just hope that the fall bite improves from what luck I have had at pymie.

In my limited number of trips I have caught 0 fish. But then again my trips total 9 hours combined with 4 of them just getting used to my new boat. And in total I've lost 2 fish that had to be musky or very very large walleye lol the ones that get away are the ones that make you go back!

Looch:
 
I didn't get his name that day. Sorry.

For those not on Facebook, it is a link to a post by a guy named Richard Giordano who has a buddy that caught 18 walleye, 12 of which were keepers fishing at night trolling south of the causeway using Hot-N-tots.
It was posted 7 hours ago, and the picture was of last night's catch.
 
Just reporting, take it for what it is worth.

I don't know why it didn't make my post a link. 

because it is a pdf I think, I just copied and pasted it, it worked

If you think about it, it only makes sense to wait until after the summer rush to release the reports. If the net catch was poor they wouldn't want to discourage people from going to the lake.

You better head to Carini's Friday !
 
 

So what's the report on Pymie lately? Water level, surface temp, carp die off, stench factor, and, oh yeah, anybody catching?  Got another week off next week and thinkin' about a trip.

Stench is at its lowest level, almost non-existent. Saw only one new dead carp in our allotment. All others are now scales and bones.  Lots of boats out on Saturday. Didn't see any yesterday south of the causeway,  with the strong wind blowing most of the day.
 
Told my wife that I was going to make her a wind chime out of dead carp parts.  She wasn't impressed. :(

It's an actual wind chime and now ya got me thinking about getting one for in my mancave. Lord knows it gets quite windy in there, when I climb on my soapbox. lmao! owe!!!😖

Wanted to get out today but changed plans. Gonna try hopefully on Weds. myself. Still decieding where to give it a shot(s) Cricks might still be a little muddy. If I make it out I'll give a report good or not so.
 
crappy

I may try next week once archery seasons is done

do you use live bait or lures this time of year?
