Thanks guys. BTDT, walleye_slayer has a nice ring to it, but it might soon be catfish_crusher again.

Today, with mothers day comming up, I thought it would be nice to take mom out. Wind was pumping when I left the house. We got to the lake and it wasn't nearly the chop that yesterday had 😞, but mom was happy ( she doesn't care for the heavy waves). Took some effort today, but the fish showed up again. Caught a number of those pesky cats, but we pulled away with a few more eyes for dinner.

This week has been about the best one I've ever had on pymy, but now its time to get caught up mowing grass and all of the household chores I've been putting off. Good luck to all of you this weekend. Will be out next week chasing the fish again.

Oh yeah, almost forgot...

Yep.... what he said.

Captain those leeks would be might tasty with a serving of deep fried walleye and Crappie.... err, Walleye_Slayer (😊) did mention he would be needing some.

Maybe a future trade in the wind, what do you think?

That will be enough of that kind of talk young man!!! lol


That Shenango thingy smells awful fishy to me Capt.... but don't worry, next year you'll have plenty of, everybody's yummy, fish to smoke from the lake.

BUT WAIT, you'll only need buy a trout stamp to fish Shenango in the future....... just bend over the reamings are always free!! Just pay additional shipping and handling fees for the K-Y.

Dam, my bad, wrong board again....

Didn't fish this week, but did go to Orlando to attend a company sponsored event with all of our favorite customers and suppliers. The main event was a talk by Terry Bradshaw. It was great, he related his family life and football life to life in a family owned company like ours with many jokes thrown in to keep the group entertained.
 
Will be at Pymatuning this weekend, I will report back if I am lucky enough to catch anything.

Lol! If I would've fished tonight instead of mowing I probably would've needed a brush hog next week.

It sure has been for me so far this year but not being one to spot burn 😒 I can't say 'exactly' where.


Walleye_Slayer (😊) a trade secrete 'bout that high grass. Find a dutchman, them boyz will bale hay where ever they can find it. lol

For yinz getting out today, beware of thunder bumpers and high winds in the forecast. Weather dude saying most of the big-uns can be south of I-80 which in layman's terms means, watch your asz and expect severe weather somewhere between Canada and the 'burgh.

Good times and tight lines while keeping an eye to the sky.

Pymatuning Walleye and Crappie fishing are improving!

The reasons why they are improving are detailed in the attached #BiologistReport, which also highlights recent Crappie regulatory changes approved by the PFBC. The reasons for carp mortality are also detailed. The detection of invasive White Perch and potential for negative consequences are also made known, with encouragement to anglers to cease stocking any fish in Pymatuning or elsewhere and to clean gear to prevent AIS spread.

Surprised that they caught 270 common carp this year, as last year they caught 181. I would have assumed that they would have caught fewer this year than last with the Koi Herpes die-off. But what do I know, I studied geology not fisheries biology. :)

Re: Pymatuning Lake 2018 2018/05/15 11:20:23 (permalink)
Got me wondering about the number of carp caught in all available years:
2018- 270
2017-181
2016-225
2014- 698
2012- 1110
2011-2049
 
What does it all mean? Probably nothing. :)

Pymafish kudos for posting the survey report.  Amazing how quickly the report was published right after the trap net survey.  Makes me wonder if the PFBC does listen, when enough anglers get tired of hearing about trout.

I agree ....almost makes you wonder how many Carp are still over infested in Pymy. The shores were covered with Carp carcasses last summer and fall....yet their numbers remain high according to the net survey.
 
On my last trip at night boat fishing, we landed only 2 Walleyes but I was amazed at the huge number of baitfish present ....tons of baitfish marked in long stretches...mostly deeper water.
