‘eye report last week and a 28.5” ‘eye taken on Sunday – jigging blades. The river outflow con-
tinues to produce some walleye – likely due to increased water flow being discharged from
lake.

Laurie @ Duck-n-Drake; filed 10-23: This past week I’ve had sporadic reports of success on
crappies. Large fathead minnows were used by one group of anglers which had been fishing
for several days. On some days they would catch a number of crappies, while other days it
would only be couple. Also some customers fishing further south on the lake have been catch-

ing some 17 to 18 inch walleyes.

Becky @ Gateway Bait; filed 10-23: Here at the shop, we’ve had reports of crappies and small
perch caught off the causeway, as well as several small muskies. Also report of walleyes caught
in 13 feet.

Patty @ Poff’s Place; filed 10-23: The bite is slow for October but encouraging – hoping to pick
up as water cools down. Hearing reports of crappies and perch off the causeway, and a few
‘eyes on the South End of lake. I have an excellent selection of the popular blade baits for the
lake; these lures will be producing as the water temp drops. Be sure to get them now while I
have a good stock of colors and sizes.

Bryan Stuyvesant (Meadville); filed 10-23: With
my buddy Mike Kernan from Texas staying at my
place for archery season, we decided Sunday

would be a day to catch some crappies for a fish
fry. Never having fished for crappies at Pymie in
the fall, I called Darl Black for a quick afternoon
trip on Sunday. We produced some nice size crap-
pies from cover in 12 to 25 feet of water by drop-
shotting Bobby Garland Baby Shads on 6-pound

Gamma Line with B-n-M Rods. Presentation had
to be precise as the crappies were hanging very

Conneaut Lake

Tom @ Myers Sportsman’s Connection; filed 10-23: Many of our customers have been fishing
Conneaut Lake for big bluegills the past week or two. Bite continued through the weekend, but
uncertain how the cool down this coming week will impact the bluegill bite.
