Crawford Report - WCO Joe Russell
Pymatuning Lake-The walleye are still biting but they have moved slightly
north. The fish seemed to be located around gum bay/ picnic area. The boats
were mainly launched out Jamestown. Guys were saying they were getting a lot
of fish on the monitors Saturday but very few strikes, however the weather
was beautiful and sunny and there was no wind. Three of the boats I checked
however had live wells full of 10"-12" crappie that they had caught on
minnies. I also spoke with six fishermen on the North end of the lake
wading (yes the warden in Crawford Co. wades out to check catches and
licenses) and they relayed to me that they had been doing very well over the
last several night (right at sundown) wading using a chartreuse shad-rap. I
also spoke with several MUSKY fishermen who said they had luck hooking into
36"-40" fish trolling right before this last cold front came through. They
tell me that the fall feeding run should be getting going real soon, so we
will have to see Conneaut Lake- The bass seemed to be going a lot deeper here and the feeding
has slowed down however the northern fishing has picked up somewhat with
Rapallas and minnies. Crappies and white bass are still being caught in
about 10-20 feet of water but the key to locating them seems to be a good
fish finder.
