Kos, just go up to Lake Erie on those calmer days and use those same tactics in 45 ft water and get your walleyes. It’s about forty more minute ride to get there but we’ll worth it by getting your twelve fish limit for two people. Good eating size fish too. I have an Ohio license as well as a Pennsylvania so I go out of Conneaut Ohio. Quick limits and I’m off the lake by nine or ten in the morning before it gets too hot. They’re doing the same thing out of Walnut in Pa.

Thanks for the reply guys.  I started fishing Pymy back in the late 90s and we soon got the itch to fish Erie so we bought a Lund Fisherman W/merc 90 and 9.9, big enough for calm days on Erie, but small enough for Pymy.  You are right Chauncy, fishing was easy up there and we would often get our limits well before noon.  It was around 2010 when we had a bad experience on Erie.  I think you know the story, winds quickly picked up and I did not think we were going to make it back to shore, no joke, that was the last time we ever had that boat on Erie.  I sold that boat a couple years ago and bought a smaller boat just for our smaller lakes.  Ice Nut, you are right about the night fishing.  I have never given night fishing a try, but we always see guys just getting ready to start in the late afternoon or early evening, as we are calling it quits for the day.

I am going to be camping at Jamestown campground the first weekend of August. Was planning on going down to the out flow at the **** and fishing the beginning of the Shenango. What is the best artificial lures to use there?  I don't like using live bait because I believe that is cheating. It is not about catching the fish, it's about the chase and solitude!

So me and the better half was out-n-about on this fine day in Aug when we see the "tournament" banner at the Espeyville boat launch.

Any news ❓❓❓

It was the kid's tourney, BTDT. More info to follow.
I wasn't there due to lack of kids in the family, but more so because I spent Saturday using a ditch witch to dig french drains and Sunday cutting up dead ash tree on the allotment properties.

Roy thanks for the update muchly appreciated. I'll bet there was fun times for all.🍻

Sounds like you been busy as a beaver cutting trees and taking care of water problems.🙃

Speaking of which, I didn't think the ground was ever going to dry up. Couldn't mow the grass without fear of getting stuck.

I too got to cut things up with a chain saw (🤗). Three rhododendron & three 20 ft tall ever green thingys, now sleep in the ash pile.

Today I gather all the stuff I should of thrown away years ago, plus all the great stuff kindly left behind by the previous owner, and head to the dump.

Take care, good times and tight lines.
