Dang, not the best report...  On the bright side, at least it didn't happen on the Delaware Bay trip or cause an accident.

True dat Pork.  Imagine that blowout on the beltway.  
 
The fish part of the report... after doing everything I could think of for walleye (drifting, slip bobbers, even trolled hotNtots) we parked in some thick lettuce in 3 fow.  Caught half a hundred fish, mostly perch and mostly small enough that we could have used them as bait.  I killed about 4 in a row that swallowed my hook and they were floating 100 feet from the boat in one spot for some reason... until an Osprey came down for a snack.  He was like "thanks bro!" as he flew off with a perch.  Circle of life eh?  Oh, the bald eagle thought about it but I think he was waiting for us to kill him a salmon or something.  Did manage 8 of the biggest bluegills I've ever seen.  Fully bigger than your hand 'gills, 9" plus.  I boxed them just for the novelty of fillet_sized bluegills.  Added 3x 9" perch, so I have enough fillets for a meal.  And one channel cat that probably went 16" went back.  He was mouth hooked and I have more than enough catfish packed away.  
 
This is the main reason I don't branch out to other lakes.  Wilhelm, Shenango, etc.  Because short of lucking into the right pattern you just don't have a good way to put yourself on fish.  Or I might say that Pymie isn't a bad lake, I'm just bad at it.
