I heard that there is a guide with a pontoon boat that offers fishing for Crappie out of Pymy. I think that he goes by Mr. Crappie, as I do. Has anyone here gone out with him? If so, any thoughts, as I am interested in going?    thanks    sam

"Crappie Guide"...Pretty much says it all I think...

Sam, i'm not sure if this is the guy you're thinking about but give him a call and see if he can help you in some way. Met him at the Crappie camp a couple weeks ago. His name is Norm. He goes by Yankee Hooker. 419 989 2121. Tell him Chaunc said that Hooker could help you.

  You can reply through craigslist.com. His early booking discount is over for the season but still very reasonable rates. Type in guide on pittsburgh craigslist.

I seen that guy on craigslist, scrolling through the boat section. 5 hours for 75 is a little pricey considering you can drive 30 more miles and slam perch for $33 on the EJ. I also wondered how legal it was for him to be calling himself Mr. Crappie as a business name lol.
Either way I hope he is legit and gets you into some nice slabs Sam.

That's tempting for me.  I can generally catch crappie anywhere but I don't know anything about pymie other than it is way too far to drive.  I don't think $40 a guy for 2 guys is that bad for 5 hours of fishing.
 
What is the "EJ" for perch?  Assuming some erie headboat deal?

Oh I thought it was 75 a person, you're right 40 a person is a good deal, especially considering you're not towing a boat or using your own equipment.
 
The crappie in pymie are huge, you can catch 14-15 inchers consistently if you get into them.
 
Edward John, Erie headboat for perch.

 The $75 is per. person, 2 man limit. But considering renting a pontoon at Arthur is 'bout $50 a hr. it's not a bad deal if don't have a boat, don't want to haul or don't know the water.
