Is the lure of choice typically a big shallow running Rapala? Anybody have luck with anything else? Might try tonight and tomorrow night. Supposed to be a balmy 34 degrees tomorrow night with some snow. Just right. :)
I think that the global climate change problem has reversed itself to global cooling and it started the day after my wife and I closed on our cottage in Espyville. Get ready for an ice age. We can ice fish year round except for the on mile thick glacier on top of the lake.

Roy I'm thinkin' this might be the year of "Global Wind"  
 
I bet I know how I can fix the wind thingy, I'll just go buy a sailboat and with my luck, the wind will stop for sure.

Roy,a lot of stuff will work,Raps 11's Firetiger perch,silver and black.  Long A bombers floaters short lip, Bango's short lip,  Thunder sticks ,even spoons,a leadhead jig and a 4" twister tail,cast the jig out let it sink a little and nice slow retrieve. I prefer 1/8 oz head,it's light and easier to feel the sometimes light bump. I'd be lying if I didn't say my go to lure is a Rap. Good luck.

I'm thinking a good size net dragging behind the boat might work best !
 
Get the snow shovels back out.....it's back !

Possibly new crappie fishing regulations in Pymy's future:

Can't say I disagree but, I think the 20 limit might be a little low for Pymy and would think Ohio's proposal of 30 per angler at a min. of 9" would be good.

20 at 9"  Great idea!!!  One fellow quoted that it will turn people away from the lake?  Let me know, I'll hold the door open for them!  IMO a 9" crappie for that lake is small, but that's just me, and I rarely keep more than ten or so anyhow.  Hope this goes through, and if need be, then let it be a limit of 30, but I'm rooting for 20

I would be happy with that. But would be really be enforced? I only seen 1 guy checked last year. They don't have the manpower to enforce the rules now.

It will be interesting to see how this goes. I don't mind it either usually only keep 10 or 15 most of the time ..wife doesn't like fish so I just take what is good for me usually picky on the size I keep also.... Then there are days I don't have to be picky cause I catch zero fish 😜

In the last three years I have been checked three times on the North end, and on several other occasions they were checking incoming boats at the marina.  It won't be an end all, but it's a start.  Too many times I see guys at the docks talking about their "catch" only to see twenty or so crappie in a minnow bucket!
If they check boats en masse the first year or so the word will get out.  Either way, I think it can only help the lake.
