Zeke, Sounds good to me! Splitshot115

Great news Zeke, keep a handle on it and we'll see you on the water more often this year. Let the fish and RR beware, Strike Three's out to get his name on this year's cup. Vince, the name of the other place is Flaming River Gorge. I've been trying to get in touch with George for the last week, will try again tomorrow. If you want to fish your always welcome on my boat. Also, there will be no need to buy kid's trophys we still have the ones from last year that Traveling Man sprung for. I'll get new plates for them this year. May this year put many fish in the box Splitshot115

If I'm steppin on any toes feel free to speak-up. How about the dates of Aug 2nd or 9th for this years LOU-ALL. Those 2 dates fall between the LOC Summer and Fall derbies. I'll get things rolling if no one else wants to step up. It would be no problem to hold this at Meyer's. One thing I would like to see changed is the point system, I vote that we go by 1 man's limit total weight. Hopefully Vince can get back for this! Just remember:: The RUSTY RAT will be back to try and defend his title in his new ride :!: :!: Splitshot115

Nice report stinger, I hope the LL's and browns continue to hit well into the Spring. Did you get any Bows? Splitshot115

Vince, There are a few places within a few hours of Colorado Springs. I can't remember the names right now, but I'll ask my brother-in-law again. Splitshot115

hermit & td50, Can't beat the copper on the fingers. Splitshot115

Stix, Somedays it just pretty much luck. But you and the others covered it pretty well. Splitshot115

Is the problem with the probe or the transducer? If it's the transducer, that's not a problem for me.

Is this still for sale?

This year I've seen more bait on Cayuga than I've seen in the past five to seven years. Had a week in August that was filled with small lakers, every morning for about 4 or 5 days I caught 10 to 15 lakers that were about 14 or 15 inches long with no fin clips. We also picked up some real nice browns throughout the year and a few nice bows late in the year. Also got to fish with and meet alot of people from this board. Looking forward to taking the LOU-ALL trophy off Rusty Rat's hands next year . Stix nice to hear from you again you've been pretty quiet,too much work? All in all a pretty good year. Think Spring

Chaos, Can't help you out, haven't been out in a couple of weeks. Don't know if I'll get another trip in or not. Splitshot115

Rich, Have the boys from Pa outdoor life been up this year? Splitshot115

Here's some of the rundown in the Ithaca paper. http://www.theithacajournal.com/apps/pb ... 006/NEWS17 Splitshot115

Here's the pic of Irish56's 3rd place Bow, 8.9lbs. The cooler is 29 inches in length inside. Spltshot115

Bigfoot, Thanks for the report, I also think most of the lakers in Owasco are on the small side with the exception of an occasional large one thrown in for good measure. There are some nice browns and the Walleyes seem to be doing well when you can find them. Thanks again for the report. Splitshot115

Any reports from the Owasco derby? Stuck at work!

Mark, I agree that rec boats should be posted as long as the names are non-offensive. As some of the others stated, it's not the money it's the pride of getting on the board of one of the premier derbies on the great lakes. When it's all said and done there are probably more rec boats that fish the LOC than charters. Pride and business comes into play for the Charters, get your name on the board a few times and I'm sure your business will show the rewards. Splitshot115

Mower, I don't make reports on the board anymore, cause by the time I get back to the tube my reports are a few days old, but if somebody wants info I'll PM them or give it to them over the cell. We could use a site for reports like the one in the big lake section, that would cut down on some of the lurkers who fish for info but never give back. Have never ran into you and I'm right next door in Meyers. Would have gladly shared info with you. Anybody who knows me knows that I'll give up any info I have to help a fellow fisherperson, even if it's derby time. I'm sure I'm not the only one works this way. Till next season Splitshot115

I think Daryl got a picture of the bow, I'll see him on Friday. Copperliner also made the board with a laker as did Playing Hookey. I haven't heard from Stix as to how they did. Zeke didn't fish. Splitshot115

Dan, Keep a few dates open for next year we'll do a few more derbies. I had a great time and we even made a few bucks. Still wish we did a few more quality fish, but that's fishin . Thanks Splitshot115

Sparky, I'll chill the Soda. Zeke, Did you get signed up? Splitshot115
