Chauncy, I've a feeling things are gonna continue for a while. Weather expected to be crazy hot through the coming week. Pulled my boat to two launches yesterday (5/24) and kept right on moving. Snodgrass had vehicles with empty trailers parked in the grass along the driveways, when I went through. Drove past the Jamestown end of the lake at 11:30 PM today (5/25) and the water was like glass. I was heading to Greenville so I don't know what the Jamestown launch looked like. Maybe take a ride to Snodgrass later today. Maybe with the holiday weekend coming to a close, pressure might die down. Stay safe & be well.

Friday snodgrass had 2 trucks at 7am when we launched. Saturday at 6am 1 truck at bay 41. Then by 11 am both days the launches were packed. Bay 41 had ppl parked almost to the road! Conneaut lake yesterday 5 trucks at 730 when we arrived then 15 at 130 when we left. Probably 15 jetskis and 20 cruiser boats on the lake with 10 fishermen. The dock was plenty busy tho when we pulled out.

DANG!!! That's truely sad news. LilBit was by far, our favorite place to eat. Always made to feel at home and, in our book, the food was the best in the area.
Will be missed.

So this restaurant is up in God's Country where the virus is nearly nonexistant? Another case of the heavy hand of government exerting control over the lives of the ordinary citizens? Sad that any business cannot survive, but those small town establishments will be sorely missed.
Never try to argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

emitch, I'm not being demeaning and only wish to show how unfair Wolf has been, to local business owners. Less than a 1/8 mile down the road, from the recently "out of business restaurant" people can gather for an ice cream cone and other stuff, but we are not permitted to enjoy a fine home cooked meal "in" our favorite restaurant(s). Another form of business includes hair salons and barbershops. People can get their hair cut/styled in Ohio but across the state line in PA, we can not. Just some of many, freedoms of choice taken from us. Wolf and his finger puppets are the "straw that broke the camels back". Florida or BUST. BTW.... got the transmission problem fixed, thanks again for your help. π»

Sorry to see them close their doors. They donβt want to take chances on passing this deadly virus among their good friends they feed. God bless them all.

Lots of parking at Espeyville around 5:30ish. Lots of people fishing from the shoreline too, but maybe 5 vehicles with trailers parked in the launch lot. Nice to see, at the Buckeye beach, people swimming and enjoying a good time. Not much traffic at the Andover loopty loop and the signs towering over the gas stations said $1.99 which is $.36 a gal. cheaper than in PA and $.13 more a gallon than in Kinsman. Just a bit of FYI for those staying or thinking about heading to Pymatuning State Park. Hair salon/Barber Shops are open in Ohio & taking reservations but do ask about what to expect when you arrive. In Ohio I also saw signs on a few eaterys saying dine-in now available. Again, y'all might want to call ahead. In PA, carry-out is available at participating restuarants and y'all can get dogs, burgers, and cream cones at the dairy isles.

Wow what a difference in a day. I had real estate (π) bidniz to attend to today, so I didn't get to see the lake but we did have a good dinner at the Family Restuarant on 285 in PA.
Tried Russels BBQ but learned they is closed on Mondays so we'll look forward to stopping by again sometime in the near future.
No kidding, we walked in joining many other patrons and actually had a sit down meal. Fantabulous.
Didn't hear no stories about catching on the lake. Guess the folks know "no spotburning".
Good times are comin again & tight lines.

Going camping next week at Jamestown campground next weekend. How is the lake been fishing lately? I'll be fishing from shore around the campground so I'm thinking maybe top water baits in the mornings and evenings. Maybe heading down below the dam to fish the Shenango river. What is your opinion of my plan?

Sounds like a hell of a good plan and I hope you have a blast catching fish.
Ya might want to check out the area between the Jamestown boat docks and the beach. I think it's known as The Pines. Water gets deep as heck right off of shore. Shoreline also drops quick, around the point, from the public launch to the marina.
Good luck, good times and tight lines.

Food for thought.......
Hot Spot restuarant short hop from causeway in Andover OH.
Walk right in.... sit right down and let your..... mind go wild reading the menu located on a behemoth chalkboard showing a huge selection of food and beverages.
Service is great, prices are right and portions..... well let's just say y'all best be hungry.
Google "Hot Spot Restuarant, Andover, OH" for hours & days they're open. Carry out available.
π€ Did I mention, (so far we find) the food is, to go back for.
Update:
π·Mask are required to enter/exit... until further notice.
This promo is expressly the opinion of the writer and not necessarily that of the establishment..... but I bet they & others will agree.π

What a drop dead gorgeous morning over Pymatuning State Park. Unfortunately the weather will change sometime around noonish, over the Linesville area and give way to heavy rain, possible high wind and localized flooding. Those who know the wrath of Pymy will agree, keeping an "eye to the sky" if venturing upon the water today. NWS 7/27
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north central Ohio, northeast Ohio, northwest Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania.
.DAY ONE, Today and tonight.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the area today and will produce heavy rainfall. There is a localized flood risk for the heavy rain, especially for areas that have repeating storms or in urban or poor drainage regions. The strongest storms will also have the potential to produce strong winds and, in some cases, reach severe limits.
Live to play another day. Good times and tight lines.π£ The rest of the week looking really sweet and fixin to be great for wetting my feet in the big lake mupp north.

Had my pontoon boat out yesterday, and per my fish finder the water temp was 82.5 degrees F. We were just out for a cruise as my motor has been acting up most of the summer. I think I git it fixed. :)
