Do you ever fish the crappie at night with a light in the water?

I don't but I have friends that do. They fish the bridge abutments mostly and do really good. Myself, I fish early morning until about 1 pm when it's hot out. I'm retired so I can fish any day I want. Don't need to stay out all day.

I knew that the massive die off a few years was going to hurt the lake.

It's easy to catcah a good 20 keeper fish over 9 inches just about any where on the lake. So a limit wouldn't be hard. I don't fish for the crappies at Pymie like I use to. Maybe once or twice a year during open water season.

You could tell by the lack of fish caught during the ice season that the population of crappies have been in a downward sprial for the last 5 years or so.

I guess the fish commission is having an open discussion relating to a crappie limit at one of the local highschools on the 19th. I believe I seen conneaut highschool at 6 or 630. Guess time will tell.

Read the new NWPA report, Darl has info on all the different species at several lakes in it.

Next Friday I am headed to pymatuming, eyes or crappie is the question? My plan is crappie first and if I find some I will just stay with them.. This weeks forecast should creep up into the mid 60's hopefully low 70's a few days so I may stay all day.. If anyone has a report let me know. I will report back after my trip.

How did you do at Pymy? I went out of Linesville today and did pretty good. Lots of crappies and gills but no eyes. Jig and bobber worked best. Only used three minnows.

Caught 25 yesterday...1 good walleye. .24 " 4lb...today caught 35 crappie 12 in basket..9-11...caught 12" one yesterday

Headed there tomorrow, hopefully the cold front doesn't hurt the fishing. Headed out of Jamestown I think.

Fished out of wilson

Ic. Never really fished that end of the lake.. I am going to hit up the islands on the south end. I will let you guys know how I do. I'm assuming you hit them in the shallows, in stumps?
