Boat Docks now open to fishing, guys have been catching larger than normal crappies off
the docks this week, along with bluegills.”

John Braymer (Sharon); filed 11/9: “Came up this morning to fish from the docks at Jame-
stown Marina. The crappies were biting early, but nothing after 1 pm. Crappies were
eating small plastic body jigs better than live minnows.”

Dave Lefebre (Erie); filed 11/9: “I’m down at Pymatuning for the week, fishing with my fa-
ther and other friends who come in for a day or two. Today, Monday, we only caught one
legal walleye between the three of us. But the crappie fishing was great. We kept 32 nice-
size crappies, mostly black crappies. Some came on blades, but most came on small jigs in
depths from 14 to 17 feet.”

Ken Smith (Sharon); filed 11/9: “I fished Pymatuning twice in November. On the 2nd, my
brother Rich and I got a mixed bag of crappies, ‘gills, perch and rock bass. We drifted the
South End with Bobby Garland Baby Shads on 1/8-ounce heads tipped with Crappie Nib-
bles. On the 9th, I fished alone. I hand glided the Jamestown area in depths from 8 to 16
feet. I caught close to 50 crappies, gills and perch. I kept 30. All were caught with set-up
described in Darl Black’s latest blog (www.darlblack.blogspot.com) and mentioned on his
Facebook Page Fishing with Darl Black. Water temp is still unseasonably high for this time
of year but should be dropping to near normal soon.”

Rick Lang (Saegertown); filed 11/6: “Back on the 4th of November, Tom Parks and I fished
Pymatuning. Water temp was still above 56 degrees. We only caught a handful of under-
sized walleyes.”

Bill Cusick; filed 11/6: “Back on the 2nd of November, I caught a 17” and 21” walleye plus
crappies on blades on the South End of Pymatuning. On Friday, the 6th, I caught a 26” 5.5
pound walleye on a blue/silver blade near the dam.” (See Livewell)
