I like catchin' whatever is bitin', but my main attractant is walleye and pike. Walleyes are the preferred target, but I don't mind a little slimin' every now and again.

The past few times i was at old pymy there was no wind to drift and jig. I did how ever pick a few eaters up trolling up North. O and a couple down south one day too!

Hows the bass bite? 3 day weekend for me, so I'll be venturing to a couple lakes on the yak.

BT, I've come to the conclusion that there is NO contour map available for Coneaut anywhere. Hard to believe with it being the lake where the PA. record for Musky came from, and also holds a pretty good population of the other game fish. Seems to me that would create an opportunity for an entrepreneur or a company, and it was surprising to me that Fishing Hot Spots didn't have one. When and if I get the chance to fish it, I'll just have to wing it with the electronics.

Does the link to a bathymetric map of Conneaut Lake on the following page lead to anything of value to you?

Chuckles thanks for the link, very interesting info.  But, the map we seek is just a good ole paper hydro-graphic map showing the contour lines.  I purchased such maps years ago, measuring 24" by 30" of Pymie, Wilhelm and Shenango but the only thing available today, it seems, is for 'puters and smart phones.
 
I even went as far as contacting NOAA, who found nothing as far as "paper maps" regarding Conneaut but they were kind enough to forward me a link to yet another Map App.

The gooder part about the app, Pymatuning is included (to be expected) which makes it OK to discuss the printed map on this thread.  Sorry 

Here you go

BT, that's the link to Fishing Hot Spots, but they don't have a map of Coneaut. You may remember you've already queried them? But fellow member OUTASYNC e-mailed me and oldie but goodie, and it's a beauty. Problem is it was a PDF file, and when it goes through the copier, the gray background comes out so dark I can barely see the map. I can see it well when I open the attachment. So, I'm tryin' to see if there's some way I can convert it to a jpeg, then import it into PAINT, and edit out the background, and enlarge it and print it. BTW, although it's old, this map is far more detailed than the others, but any of them gives me more than enough info to find and check what I think will be the fish holding spots easy enough.
Thanks again to all involved!

Emitch thanks, I've not a chance to pull the sight up on my 'puter.

I tried printing maps from the nav apps as well and got the same result because the contour lines are so close.

If not already, you should be receiving a half aszed map hopefully you can use.

Hope you're recovery is going well and see you on the water soon.


ATTE very nice catch, congratulations.👍

Was gonna make a trip up to the big pond today, but it was a bust with the wind. Ended up being a nice day to drift pymy with the wind cranking though. Haven't been out there for a few weeks and had to work for a few fish. Left with 2 eyes in the box, and a few nice perch. Probably be out again tomorrow or Tuesday to ride the waves. Good luck fellas!

What fow has everyone been catching walleye going to try and get a couple kids on there first walleye Friday and Saturday

Depends on north end or south end

We were doing well 2 weeks ago in about 16ft on the south end, but some recent reports I saw seems to be having them deeper now. Heading up tomorrow will let u know if I can find em.
