CRAWFORD COUNTY

Pymatuning Lake
Norm @ Jamestown Marina; filed 9/24: Things are pretty quiet on the lake. A group of guys
are catching a few walleyes with blade baits; also lots of small perch and some catfish. Shad
schools are all over the surface. Hoping for quick cool down of water temps to get a better bite
going. The Jamestown Marina will be open until the end of October.

Dave @ Richter’s Bait & Tackle; filed 9/24: Over the weekend, two customers trolling for wall-
eye caught a big walleye and two decent muskies! Woody Knis was in the other day, too, and
said he caught two muskies. Hearing reports of other smaller muskies being taken too. Also
have reports of occasional walleye while trolling or drifting. I am hearing of lots of small perch
and catfish being caught, too, as well as reports of some anglers doing okay on bass. (See pho-
tos)

Laurie @ Duck-N-Drake; filed 9/24: Not a lot of fishing activity on the lake. Customers are re-
porting a few catfish and occasional average-size-musky. A couple fellows did very well on

“decent size” perch in 10 feet of water using both crawlers and minnows. Not hearing anything
th
much about crappies. Don’t forget, I’m hosting a Walleye Tournament on Oct 6 . If you don’t
sign up ahead of time, you can do so the morning of the tournament before 6 a.m. start time.
th
I’ll in the shop at 5 a.m. on the 6 . I will be closing the store for the season the week following
the tournament.

Patty @ Poff’s Place; filed 9/24: Pretty slow right now. They are catching a
crappie or two here and there. No word on walleyes. Occasional a musky in
the 40 inch range has been caught; no big ones. Young lad with his first carp.

RJ Graham (Tionesta); filed 9/23: Smallmouth bass were hitting when I
fished a tournament on Pymie last week. All my keepers were smallies.

Ken Smith (Sharon); filed 9/14: I fished Pymatuning Lake on 9/14: Crappies
were still holding in the deeper brush at 17 feet. I caught some quality crap-
pies, ‘gills and a few perch on Bobby Garland Itty Bits in Bluegrass color. I
threw all the ‘gills back – most were seven inches. (See photo)
