I hate it when the net is too small.

Jim the net wasnt too small, the fish was too big.

Decided to hit the Lake in below feezing temps at 3am. Started out casting stickbaits on the points in less than 5 fow. I took a nice eye on my second cast. We were able to take 5-6 more before 6 when we went to the bait shop for coffee. Came back out and set up the jiggin' program. Took alot of nice fish from 3-7 lbs. A couple over 5 and two that were 7. I picked up a rod with 6lb test and a shad rap on and tried a few more casts whe n all the sudden the rod got heavy. :shock: After a few minute battle the video tell the rest of the site. check it out here. http://ardentangler.org/reports.html You will see the lil flash symbol , click on it. Back at it again tomorrow but not til 5am.

AND SO LONG 4 NOW....

Thanks Bob and I kep the hooks in the fish mouths and out of the hand again today

Started jiggin on Lake Hopatcong at 630 am. Took a bunch of fish all the way up to the 5lb range. Great jiggin waters. Took all the fish on rapala Jigs. Stopped doing that at about 930 am and was bound and determined to troll some into the boat. It didnt happen, not even a release . These fish dont want to chase, there is bait everywhere. I havent given up yet. We are heading on the water at 3 am tomorrow to cast some sticks on the points in shallow water. Jiggin at day light and trying for a fish in the 8-9lb class. Here are a few pics. I tried to turn them around but photobucket got the best of me. Maybe bob will be nice enough to do so.

Started my program out trolling different sticks today. Lost one eye in a couple hours and marked so much bait and fish. These eyes dont want to chase. I went to drop offs that I know and started hitting some fish. Jigging Rapala ice jigs. Here are a coupe pics. I will get fish trolling before I leave this lake . GRRRRRRR OH and No hooks through the finger today

Made it down here safe. Dabbled a lil bit today to learn the lake. Here is a couple pics of our drop in and check out the video if you need a good laugh. The video link is righ there titled "what not to do" It's not my week so far huh bob? I'll be down for here from 3-6 days and we are going to shoot alot of video and shoot a tv show. Hopefully we will have eyes to show ya. Check this out http://ardentangler.org/reports.html

Do they bust balls for americans bring teir boats over to canada?

Didn't we talk about that yahoo today Bob? lol

Guys are always looking for observers. Its a GREAT way to learn

Truth be known I think Bob sabotaged my boat. I did manage a walleye before picking Bob up at the dock. I was casting in 2-3 feet of water. It was great fishing and laughing with him today. It's days like this when it didnt matter if we had put a single fish in the boat. Great weather, beautiful fall day, and good company. Can I get an amen?

Best advice is ask any question no matter how silly you think they might be. Guys on here are more than willing to help. In turn share any info/ reports that you come up with. Read the posts on here, alot of great info. Plan on fishing the tournies to have a good time and meet new people. Don't fish them to get rich. Making enough to pay for your tournamnet fishing is an accomplisment within itself.

you shouldnt have a problem just pay attention to the weather and winds, what are you targeting?

Johnny id like to sneak up to quinte for 2-3 days. we can split the costs and grab a room. if ur interested let me know

the walleye fishing is getting good, take that rig to quinte

How many of you guys fish the eyes in Quinte this time of year? Im coming up nov 16th-23rd to give it a try. Do any of you need a guy to fill a seat anytime other than that? Id like to get up for a couple days before my trip. I have my canadian seasonal license.

I need to find some sort of inside storage for a 17ft lund. end of november until the snow stops flying in the spring. garage, pole barn whatever as long as its safe.

So walt, you found those fish that I was talking about in the morning when I spoke to you on the radio? Did you see how much bait and how many fish were in that area. I took a run down to the 111 after I spoke to you, the weeds were nowhere near as bad but there was nowhere as near as many fish either. I went back to where I started the morning and did well

These fish are really starting to plump up, that means the dinner bell has been ringin'. What area did you fish ice?

Fished 6:30 til noon. took 14 eyes, all between 17-22 inches. all off the boards with deep rr's in 35-43 fow. 1.8-2.3 mph. went in shallow water (3ft) to check my night casting spots and found some bait. It shouldnt be too long before it turns on at night in close.

nice catch bud

im going to try to do some research for you yahoos, striper buddy down that way who isnt fishing that tourney but guides stripers

nope he is correct

lol nick. get out of the adk and lets chase big girls

the right thing to do is use bow wax. it helps them slide and helps keep damaging sun rays from hurting the line.. ignore what doublehaul said lol

i might be out there
