10 feet of water, and perch sitting outside the bays. And it was a good opening weekend for in-
land water walleyes at the dam outflow; picture from there, too. Don’t forget we will have the
th
Someday Isle Tackle Fishing Team here on Saturday the 13 for Meet and Greet. And since we
th
don’t sell roses, for Mother’s Day the 14 , we will give each Mom that
stops in a dozen Rosie Reds! (two pictures)
Jim McClave (Andover); filed 5-4: I caught this nice 18 inch walleye
with a nightcrawler on the South End of Pymatuning. Had to brave in-
clement weather, but it was well worth the challenge (see pic)
Danny Jones (Erie); filed 5-1: I spent the past couple weeks at Jim McClave
Pymatuning and fishing has been hot. Last weekend we caught a 2
man limit of crappie out of my boat, as did my dad out of his boat. All
crappies were caught in one foot water in the pads. As for bass fishing,
we caught 75 largemouths, mostly on spinnerbait up in the pads and
some flipping wood. My dad caught a musky about 40 inches long on a
square-bill crankbait. (see pic here and Livewell)
Marilyn Black (Cochranton); filed 4-23: Late Sunday afternoon, Darl Danny Jones
and I ran over the North End of Pymatuning for our first crappie outing
of the year. Darl needed to check out crappies for upcoming guide trips –
he put me on the spots and I caught the fish! Just a quick tour to find fish
and out. (see pic)
Jim Felix (Pittsburgh); filed 4-23: Jim caught
this 24.5 inch walleye weighing 4.75 pounds
using a red/chartreuse crappie jig tipped with
nightcrawler. He was drifting in 7 to 8 feet of
water among stumps in the North End. (see

Jim Felix’s walleye
Canadohta Lake, Bull Dam and Sugar Lake
Jerry @ Timberland Bait; filed 5-8: Really a bad day for opening walleye season on Canadohta.
However, couple guys from Pittsburgh staying a cottage on the lake caught several pike and
musky. Had reports from Bull Dam and Sugar Lake that crappies and bluegills were biting at
both lakes. Muddy Creek was stocked with in season trout before the rain, and no one was on it
due to high water this weekend so it might be a good spot to check this week as water goes
down
