Pymatuing lake

I was there yesterday, the lake is still locked up, from Ohio to PA. The only open water I saw was at the spillway or the bridges on the causeway. The boat docks at Linesville and Espyville are still locked in ice.

A possible under ice spawn?  Just hope it doesn't go from 45 to 80 in the matter of weeks!
 

I live in westmoreland as well and last night they were going crazy loud!!!

I heard it's a go!  Especially after today...Weather all week though.  North Pittsburgh area

BTDT, weather for next 10 or 14 days looks better for fishin than oiling a house. rain most days with very short dry periods mixed in. i think i remember a can , in fine print said" it,s gonna rain, dummy, go fishin". the brand name excapes me, but i,m sure i saw it somewhere. lol wire

Just talked to the girls at Poffs Place they said the lake is open ice is off. Let the games began. Docks will be going in soon

Who  needs docks?  .... They're launching out of Wilson's.  5 trailers up there  Monday afternoon.

Wirenut, as of this writing, power washing of the house is complete (with any luck, it'll take a week or two to dry) so, it's off to washing and prepping the boat tomorrow.  Need to change the oil (dang there's a haunting word) in the motors, replace two rub rail end caps, and install a couple of 12 volt power outlets.  I'm thinkin', maybe four hours tops and, the boat will be ready.  Good thing too cause, I'm running out of stories about live bait!
 
I'm thinking Shenango this coming Sunday and Pymy Mon., Tue., Wed., Thur., Fri., then back to Shenango for Sat. and Sun.  Of course, weather permitting I may have to, spend a hour or two, applying oil to the house.  BUT, only if the fish aren't biting.
 
Congratulations on the new rig, sounds really nice.
 
PS. Those rain thingys above the windows are neat!

speaking of Shenango, anyone know if its back up any from drawdown? nice crappies in there last couple years. thanks, wire

Yep....Yep, level looking good but, unfortunately, the lake is being wind whipped today (Friday) and the water looks to be somewhat muddy especially along the shorelines at the Rt. 18 causeway.  Boat docks are still sitting in the parking lot at the Clark launch sight off of Rt. 18.
 
Shouldn't pose a problem launching if ya have a buddy along.  (hint..... Hint)
 
Go get em Wirenut............ tight lines to ya! 

gotta love a woman with a sense of humor!  course mine always said i was living proof she had one( s-o-h). was at pymy sun. linesville parked full, manning nearly full, guys at spillway , saw 1 wally gaught, several perch, many carp, lol. causeway north side full of boats, most parking full, so, it MUST be time. see you guys there. wire

Yeah BTDT radar not looking real good.. Know what ya mean about the wet feet😁. Still working on my honey do list but should be done by early next week...

was at pymy on thurs. , ,n, brought 6 crappies home for supper. 5 of the 6 had eggs inside, but eggs didn,t look right. are the fish re-absorbing them or are those fish so far out from spawn that eggs aren,t developed yet? never remember seeing this before. wire

I think they are reabsorbing them

Those fish are reabsorbing their eggs now. Hopefully they had a good spawn this year. Wont know for sure til around October when the 3 and 4" fish start showing up. You can smell when they are reabsorbing their eggs. They stink when you're cleaning them. Rotten egg smell.
