If anyone here hears of any classes for captain licence please post the info. Im thinking about getting my licence. S central NYS area would be best for me but I would travel if I had to.

Ive been running the 10ft 6in roller rods . Matched up with the tekota 600lc reels. 2yrs now. They have probably paid for themselves just in not loseing so much tackle. Its a great rod and reel combo. The longer rods absorb the vicious strikes,they also get a nice throb to them when the speed is right. A mag spoon will show vibration in the rod. I have nothing but good things to say about the roller rods.

Total weight of one mans legal limit.

14 .12

Caught two derby brns this weekend . The LOC board has not been updated yet. Also had a king that would have made it but the brn placed higher[one fish per man] ... Only advice is take your temp probes and gently place them in the cuddy. If the bigger brn holds Ill have entered a fish in the spring summer and fall loc derbys.Not bad for a weekend fisherman.

Nice report. Good to see some fish showing up.

Fished with a buddy of mine out of Hughes today. He has a brand new 22ft hardtop Arima with twin 115 e techs. He shuts one off when trolling and it seemed to slow down real well to trolling speed.no fumes ,no vibration,smooth ,quiet. He says he burns about 5 gal of gas a day.Running in and out on both engines then trolling on one. Im a big Yamaha fan because thats what I got but after today considering price and warrenty I would consider a E Tech. Running out on both engines it was quiet enough in the boat to talk a normal tone. They make their own kinda sound not like a regular 2 stroke. He says it will run about 40MPH thats plenty fast enough on the water.[its a good size boat 9ft beam] So far so good with these engines. Next is the test of time....

Ill be heading up tonight. I dont pay much attention to weather predictions.As they are usually wrong.If its nice Ill fish . If its not nice Ill camp.

My nk dimple lite 42sec spoon catches more fish than the regular weight 28 spoon that I taped up. Why? I dont know.

You know where I will be "Hughes" ,where else? Ill be there even if the fish arent. But its usually good for one decient fish. Peobably just fish weekends.Ill have miles of water to myself.

Thank you stinger. 32 is a nice mess of fish. HMMMMM looks like a Stinger alwie in that kids hand. As soon as I can find my camera download program I have a few photos also.Probably find it this winter sometime. Next year it wont be so easy. Congrats to all participants. That is a nice brown.

We havent wacked the fish hard this year either.Havent been doing many reports because theirs nothing to report. A good point above was made [all on one spoon]. There seems to be a good class of 9.5 rainbows Ive basically given up on brn trout fishing. The big boys we've caught have been high and out of temp. We are not marking them up there either. In less than 150FOW. I put a fish in the spring derby ,summer derby, hopefully going to put one in the fall derby.2.1 seems to be best speed this year last year was 2.4. Ive been trying to get one of the guys at camp to give er a try at say 3am. No one wants to get up.[ neither do I either] Glow stuff works, purple is awalys good,Green for me the last few yrs has rotted in the water.Except for the monkeypuke. I can not catch a fish on copper and orange this year. The fish are there we just havent figured them out.

Must have been a "good" awards ceramony. No ones up yet to post the results.It wouldnt suprise me if there was a little chad hainging on stingers fish that to can cause a holdup.

Ive got a lot of extra big jon stuff . If you can get a picture or link of exactly what you want I may have it. And the price will be right....

George some good food for thought there.

Some food for thought Stinger. If the fish are biteing one rod is enough. If their not biteing ,one rods to many. Im thinking about taking the Month of April off and just fishing ,with just one rod. Best of luck to all participants. Ill be back with a vengence next year.

Yesterday I heard of a couple kings caught out deep.In the 500fow range.

News Flash!!!!! The LOU ALL has been posponed for one week. Thars hot off the email I got from Stinger... Actually I have to bow out this year due to death in family. My dad died unexpedilly yesterday {heart} No suffering ,no nurseing home ,the way we all wanna go out....

Is there going to be a Lama there so I dont have to carry a heavy cooler to the scales?

Thanks for the report.I could not make it up again this weekend.The guys I talked to had the same report you`did. Great bite right off then went dead.Must be you out there in that brown boat?

Its a toss up this yr.NK green monkeypuke or a gold nk black majic I painted up. The regular stuff that worked for years dont work this yr,

The secrete is not to swat them. You kill one and a hundred show up for the funeral...

Nice king. Glad you had a good day at Hughes. Wait till they really turn on there.(Ive got a campsite there} Im thinking there were 4 boats out on Sunday..NICE

Try hideing behind a tree with a paintball gun. Ott Oh what have I done. Avoid the pack. The fish dont stay in one place they swim around. Ive never fished out of Oswego . After reading this I never will.

I just noticed that on the leaderboard. Ill take credit anyway I can get it. Rest of the derby Im steelhead fishing. Maybe I can get two on the board.Hee Hee. BTW nice steelie,my favorite fish to fish for and favorite to catch.I just havent had a good one go,yet..
