Probably 39 -40 or warmer in the shallow bays..... I fished P.I.last week 37.-39.5 degrees. Pymy is definitely warm enough to catch perch and  crappie and gills in the shallows. I know several guys that are going well,especially on perch.

That's about what I figured I'll be getting out this week after work

 Gonna put on the hiking boots & give it a try Thursday & Friday I hope.
 
crappy

Ill be headed to mosquito tonight to give it a try. May be a little warmer than pymie

Pymy is on fire...... slobs...biggest crappie I've caught in years.... crazy perch bite 9''-12"  not Erie size but what a fun day...cast and crank....

My legs are cold, chilly and a stiff breeze then rain. Thawing out now next to wood burner with some Bird Dog. A old man saw I saw on way out didn't have any luck so I made his day.
 
crappy

any luck wading yet?
 

So the past few days of been fishing without issues minus the leaky waders..... today me and my buddy are fishing along with another guy doing pretty well well here comes the Pittsburgh boys in the kayaks no big deal we are fishing this tree I catch finally a dandy slab well paddles down now come right in proceed to fish said tree. Ok the wind is blowing let's paddle up and drift right threw the hole and ruin the trickle of a bite we had😤 I'm getting pretty ****ed it's one thing to show up and drop anchor and fish but don't be these guys.... they proceed to talk about the giant gizzard shad (crappies They say) all over swirling around lol they obviously had no idea what they where doing so I preceded to say a few choice words pull up my stringer full of fish and walk to the truck if your reading this kayak Jimmys I ment every word I said your idiots and I hope you had fun casting minnows off dredging bottom below the fish, this was hands down the worst experience of had fishing haha kinda comical..... iv meet quite a few people on here and they know I'm a decent guy willing to help with information, even the guy we talked with at the truck but these 2 😂😂😂😂😂

I hear ya thunderpole ... I spent all afternoon in Erie getting a hitch put on my new Jeep. So can’t Wait it get out , now as for guys doing stupid crap . A few years ago there was me about 4 different boats drifting over this pretty good getting a few crappies ever drift for every drift ... Anyhow this boat full of blue-coats started drifting down through us drifting parting us... me not missing words much and this guy in a boat drifting with us says I’ll handle this . He takes out his cell phone and started taking picture , I said ok what are you doing he said going to make them internet stars ...and they left .... lol. ... guess they don’t like their pictures taken 😜👍

It's ok honestly, but to be so rude and blatant about it I hooked that slab roped it my buddy says o boy 😂😂😂 you would of thought they had 20hp motors lol they where 30 ft away just freaking cast there to top it off it was 3ft maby 4ft there bobbers where set at 4ft easy lol we where about done cold, backs starting to hurt but come on! And all those shad I think those are crappies! How don't you know what your fishing for! it's Ok I got plenty of fresh fish for the cold spell and they will be back to work 😎 all that was missing was a ic light and a pens hat
