Congrats on the big brown. That thing must have been long because it does not look fat for a 17lb fish

No derby ticket?

The eyes in the river do not taste bad due to the alewives. They taste horrible because the water quality is horrible. They taste the way the sewage smells that comes out of the Kodak treatment plant. You can soak them in what ever you want and it will not help.

I run 4 wire roller rods on my boat. They are pricey but the diver and a Flasher and fly come in as smooth as can be. Pair them up with a Diawa Saltist 30 and you have one mean fish fighting machine.

Actually I have been carrying around 3 4 leaf clovers I found in my back yard with my 2 year old son. I found them just before our luck started.

Nice job Andy.

That is what fishing is supposed to be about. Making memories with loved ones and friends. Congrats on the quality time spent with your Dad.

The Genesee River fleet used to use it. I'm not sure if they still do.

Sharing info on the world wide web is ok on lakes that can HANDLE the pressure. The finger lakes trout and Lake Ontario trout and salmon are stocked for the most part and short lived so it is no big deal. Smaller lakes with natural reproduction species may not be able to take the pressure. Just be smart and do not over publicize the smaller bodies of water with fragile fisheries. This site is here to share info BUT, I think the reports sections should be limited to members that contribute and have higher posts. Any everyday Joe can become a member and join just to take info from the site and not give a thing back.

You too! Must be hard to know every one of us will be gunning for you over the next week [ Post made via Android ] Thats OK Nick. I love good competition. Even if it does not take Grand Prize, I will not be that upset. It is a fish of a lifetime. The memories with 2 great buddies is worth more than the cash.

No problem Nick. We have a video of our 3rd place brown from yesterday too. Thanks for the info. I will pass it along to my buddy and we will see if we can master video editing this winter. Good luck in the rest of the LOC.

If there is an egg shortage in the fall, can't the DEC seine fry out of the river and put them into trucks for stocking and pen rearing at other locations? I would be more than willing to donate as much time as they need to help? Their survival rate would more than likely be better if they were handled correctly.

We do have the video. I can't post it because Dave still has our SD card. I had to go and purchase another one for yesterdays trip. My buddy that is working with our videos has very little expierence editing videos. Any tips Nick? Software, little tricks?

Awesome slimedart! I love those big pike.

The three of us on my boat got our checks last week. I think Dave is a little busy. He still has not posted our Go Pro video we submitted on Sunday afternoon.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):8/22 Time on Water: 5:45 Weather/Temp: Warm and sunny Wind Speed/Direction: south less than 10 Waves: less than 1" Surface Temp: 74 Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 41 Total Boated: 31 Species Breakdown: Browns and lakers Hot Lure: NBK Trolling Speed: Down Speed: 2.2 Boat Depth: 50 - 130 Lure Depth: 42- bottom ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Decided to try a brown program for something different. We ran out to 85 fow and the screen was blank. Turned South as we rigged and dumped a king in 80 fow. Hit 55 fow and found perfect brown condtions and a OK screen. Picked away at browns until the bite shut off at 9am. We ended up landing 15 browns with one that made the leaderboard @ 14lbs 14oz. We also dumped a slob brown that got into the inside wire during a quadruple with only 2 of us in the boat. Once the brown bite died, we turned out and headed to our weigh points for lakers. The screen was blank in our hot area from Sunday and last thursday. We went into search mode and never really found a good group of lakers. We picked away and boated 16 including a 16lb 4oz laker to make the leaderboard.

Nice job Mark. Keep the reports coming!

It is at a secret location under lock and key! There is no way my wife would let me put a chicken in the freezer whole!

Nice fish Rick. Amazing to see a dark fish that early in the season. Those big males sure look awesome!

I did not think Berber can come any thicker? Oh ya, one more prediction ........The Buffalo Bills will make the playoffs this year. If your winter prediction is like the ugly prediction above, we are in for the worst winter in history!

Dave Chilson of the LOC told me there was one caught at 39lbs a while ago. The other was the one mentioned above my post.
