No way Tom - really???!!! That is some pretty bad timing... dang man

Tim, On April 9th, we be posting a new forum link (under the North Shore/South Shore) forums called "Instant Fishing Reports". That will take you right to the magic page I will also be sending out an email with the link in it as well have a link added to the left hand column. You won't miss it! Chad

Thanks for the report Joe! Can you tell us if they have docks in for launching the boat yet?

Back to normal now...... Happy April Fools day everyone. Enjoy the nice weather coming out way!

We like to have fun sometimes on the site and this year was no different. We don't want to keep our little prank going all day so at noon today we will be switching back to the normal site. Currently any topic with a comment from either Hank (L&M) or Bob (muskybob) have all the text flipped upside down and reversed See example: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16436 Don't worry though, at noon we will be switching things back to normal. Happy April Fools day everyone..... hope you find some time play a couple pranks as well PS - Hank/Bob - don't comment on this post until afternoon today! It really messes things up....

Sorry Larry - we like to have a little fun on April 1st sometimes

All set Larry - thanks!

Sure thing Justin. The avatar options are located under the PROFILE link at the top of the website. Here is a direct link to the avatar section you are looking for: ucp.php?i=profile&mode=avatar Once there, you can upload any image you want for an avatar so long as it is small enough in size. Hope this helps! Chad

Welcome aboard Joe - glad you decided to join in I also happen to live in Greece, NY (near Long Pond). Brad - how much is it for a PA fishin' license? Seems like a really easy drive from Rochester... Any other special regulations you know of for this lake?

Hahahah - thanks Zach That is funny you talked to Newman, because my fiancee also talked to him last fall on WBEE about fishing. She was all excited to be on the air and Newman certainly seemed interested in fishing despite having not done much of it in the past before.

Very impressive video Dave... your hired!

Happy Birthday Brian! Hopefully the LOU Sandy fishing get together will go a little more smoothly for you this year

Incase you guys never had a chance to see this video, it was done a few years back and is just awesome to watch! I didn't even know the video existed until Mike told me a while back that he did a show with Pete. Here is the link to Mike's Website: Video Title: Chautauqua Muskies Unleashed http://www.Chautauquareeloutdoors.com Look on the left column near the bottom of the site and you will see the link to the video. And while you are on Mike's site, be sure to check out his photogallery - it will get you pumped up

Watching the action live and in reel time from home was almost too much handle... VERY NICE guys! Way to go

WARNING =========================================== The following project soon to be launched by your buddies at Lake Ontario United could SEVERELY HINDER your motivation to stay at work all day knowing what is going on LIVE on the water! =========================================== On April 9th, our newest project titled Lake Ontario Tweets (Instant Fishing Reports) will set the world of fishing reports on it's ear. Imagine INSTANT Fishing Reports (including images and videos) from some of Lake Ontario's finest Charter Captains while they're out on the water LIVE!! We've worked very hard here at Lake Ontario United to create Lake Ontario Tweets. Be prepared to have the way you look at fishing reports changed forever! This type of project has never been done before on Lake Ontario or ANYWHERE else in the fishing world for that matter. We are excited to see how well people take to it. We try to stay ahead of the curve technologically here at LOU and in this case... wayyyyyy ahead of the curve and breaking new ground in the fishing industry. Stay tuned... but don't say that I didn't warn you

Welcome aboard Ted! Glad to have you

Thanks Jim! It was great meeting you and Tim last night at the DEC State of the Lake in Niagara county. Thanks for helping start up the panfish forum - hope this provides a good place to talk for all the Perch Masters out there

Happy Birthday Pat! Have a good one sir

jkarol24, I use 80/100 lb braid with an 80lb floro leader when fishing for muskies and have never had a problem getting a good hookset. I think your issue has a lot to do with the mono line and not being able to really drive the hook home into the boney month of a pike due the stretch factor. Consider rigging a rod up with braid and seeing if that doesn't help drive home the point better for ya Chad

Welcome aboard Mark! This website was my thesis project while I attended RIT OK, maybe not..... but I spent just about as much time on LOU as I did my master's project at RIT. Hope you are enjoy your college as much I did there!

Happy Birthday Nick! Can't wait to get up north there with you some time this year and try our luck pike fishing in the islands. Enjoy your day

Welcome aboard George! Glad to have ya - make your self at home

Enjoy your day Jeremy! Relax and take the day off

Wow nice! That is really getting it in early Ice fishing reports and the early spring reports don't usually overlap
