Regardless of the forecast, I'm taking a trip to Pymie tomorrow. I don't get very many chances to go, so I can't pass this one up just because I might get wet. Anyway, I need some info. I am hearing they are shallow in the weeds, then I'm hearing they are deep. Anyone been there in the last week that can give me a little insight? PM me if you don't want to post publicly. I'd really appreciate any info on walleye and crappie. Thank you.

I don't know what your after, I've only been fishing for the small stuff, but crappies are now in the inlets, perch are caught everywhere, and I'm catching Small Mouths around the super drop offs around the shores. I've also been catching Large Mouths in the grassy shallows around 7 O'clock at night. I've also have been bringing in a lot of weeds too.
 
I've been using small diving Raps, live bait, and Rooster tails.

I went up this weekend, and did ok.  Nothing huge, but enough decent sized crappie to save the trip.  Got most of ours off of a point in 8 FOW.  Couldn't find any of those jumbo perch that folks were talking about, got two cigar perch.  Had a few nice largemouth self release.  Marked a crazy amount of tight lipped fish in 18-20 FOW, only 2 small bumps in 3 or so hours in that range. 
 
It took us a few failed attempts at a few launches to get the boat in the water...  We ended up at the Pymie State Park launch in Ohio, about 2 miles south of the Causeway, and was deep enough for our 17'.  Saw a guy pulling out of the Espyville launch with a 20' or so Trophy.  Guessing he didn't launch there...  Not sure if any launches would handle that size boat right now.  None that we saw at least.  Definitely need some soakers to get that lake at a decent level.

I waited till the rain let up and checked bay41. A canoe would have a hard time launching there..lol A big muddy bay. Went to the Jamestown launch and headed north. I apparently messed the timing up some. It ran rough till I played with thee low speed idle. The electric start worked great though. Did some drifts past beer can island with a few crappie bites. Went to the beach area and had tons of bites but only tail nipping.
The rain started down again so I called it quits. Darn battery was dead from using my trolling motor so much. Guess its time to buy another starter battery.
