Ugly Stik
I fished Wilhelm yesterday. Fishing pressure was light. I trolled most of the morning without any luck. I switched to minnows and ran through 2 dozen in about an hour. Lots of small crappie and one catfish. Baitfish were everywhere.
yep a lot of smaller crappies but I did manage 16 that made the grade for me anyways the last time I was there.Most keepers were 9"-11" did get a 14" a few weeks ago. Wife doesn't eat the fish so I just get enough for my plate 😜👍 haven't trolled much this year , with all the crap about Pymatuning just have been working Wilhelm . Only takes 1/2 hr to get there vs 1hr to Pymatuning . Thought the bait fish was a lot better then last year,

Yeah I'm an hour from Pymy as well. I'm not a very good crappie fisherman and my hats off to you for finding the bigger fish. Im ready to put a fork in 2017. It was by far my worst year of fishing in years. With the exception of some perch and a 44" muskie the year has been a bust.

Nice Muskie 👍 Got a smaller one last year at Wilhelm only around 29" none this year and yes it has been a tough year for sure. I'll try it a few more times this year and call it done also ... got bow season to keep us going now 😜. Like Crappie fishing just get lucky at times though , most of my fishing is down by the dam on the road side and across from launch 2 , drift the old road bed as I call it from the point 12'-15' with electric motor if no wind been my best spots this year .

I fish that same area and the bay above 2. I'm pulling my deer cams today. Hopefully I see a couple of shooters. Good luck.

Fished Wilhelm yesterday. What a beautiful day. I fished hard with small minnows and didn't catch much but did land a brown sock. I practiced catch and release as I wear a size 10. Lots of fish showing in deeper water but very few takers.
