FISHINMAN

THANK YOU, for all that you have done to protect our freedom! Have a great day you all deserve it

Nice job Brian Well except for those 12 you know whats

Scott only 2 real fish

Better luck Monday

Good Luck Big Dave My mom had 2 knew knees put in and they were well worth the pain from the surgery. Do your rehab and you'll be back in no time setting rods

Jason very very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Happy Birthday Rick! At your advanced age you better take it easy reeling in those 700ft coppers

PM SENT

Paprman, sorry I didn't ask you if you were a LOU member I usually ask guys I haven't met before , I was the guy in the Sea Nympth that started to back into you a bit in the creek (I was desperate for some cell phone coverage and that was the only place that had it at the time ) Glad to see you got a couple of fish.

After checking the water color inside I decided to go try out a bit and fished from 50-150fow. Well that wasn't gonna help the catch rate because the water was a cold 46 degrees everywhere I went from top to 80 down and had a nasty current from the east (yes Bob the east ) About 11am I was starting to think that the 1st skunk of the year was about to happen so I decided to give Jeremy AKA Jax a call even though I knew he was fishing west out of Olcott and he said he was getting everything deep including having his wire out 430ft . I no sooner get off the phone with him and my rigger that I had parked at 105 over 132 pops and I think OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO a laker but there goes the skunk I think to myself, well low and behold it's a coho that comes slapping to the surface . Well that was it for the day.

The always wonderful 1 for 1 ! Glow frog was the "hot" lure. Actually pulled rods once and had some scales on the same lure one other time, maybe a shaker?

Gene I talked with the guy that was pulling his boat as you launched on Sunday and he went all the way to 500 and said it was blank out there

Scott you have no time for Pro Am you will be finishing my door !!

Tried to get Jerry to come out of the mansion on the lake and see the fish but he was at his boat doing something that had to do with a "hull and rocks" not getting along

Wayne, Rebecca said no time off for you!! I'll give ya a shout.

Nice job Tom! Glad to see the Mrs. let you reel in a fish!

Shawn

Let him reel it in? I heard he pushed her to the floor to get to the rod first.

I gave her a wire rod with no fish on it and with the dipsey not tripped out 300 and told her she had a fish on but then scolded her for letting get away

My wife is great to fish with for the most part, drives like Musky sometimes , but helps out with getting rods moved and what not. She always wants to let me land fish because she knows how much it makes me happy and the fact that she knows when I take guys out in my boat that I like to let them land "most" the fish. We all do that for the most part except maybe "Rod Hog" (just kidding )

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Finally got out after 2+ weeks of the water and had a nice late afternoon/ evening troll with the Mrs.

Talked with Mr. Jerry Felluca and others about the fishing earlier in the day and heard browns in close but water clearing by the second and Laker's stacked out 70- to 90 ft. So being the great anti laker guy I am I decided to try the shore line heading east. Couldn't find much of any color in the water but kept at it and low and behold I get near Mr. Felluca's mansion on the lake and the Mrs sees the inside rod on the board "acting weird" and sure enough fish on and it's a nice steelie of about 6# that did a little aerial show for us. 150 back orange J-7.

Decide to try the shore going back west a bit with nothing so we headed out a bit as a couple guys had said they they had marked fish up high but couldn't get them to go. Set the riggers from 70 up to 30 and 1 wire out 210 and the other out 110. Switched off the kicker motor and started the big motor which ran a little groggy for a second so in neutral it went for a second and a little rev it got and it was all good and as soon as I started to go a bit the 110 wire goes and it's not a laker as that baby screwed and started to jump. KING TIME Got this teenager (15lbs) on the Atomic hammer fly behind a White Nuclear green dot (?) spinny

By the way the 8 inch Lamprey that stayed attached went back in the water..............BUT IN 3 PIECES

Only got the 2 fish but was a happy guy Still no skunks in my boat this short season so far

They are coming fellow Sandy Guys

Nice to have met you Gene!!

Happy Birthday Chad , hope you had a great day!!

Great job guys! Congrats to all that placed

Got out to Port Bay Wed night, for the 2nd Annual LOU weekend. Fishinman Tom showed up bright and early Thur morning, but it was a little too rough to fish , so we launched my boat for a shakedown cruise in the bay. She ran good for a little while , but then the temp gauge started to climb so we headed back and put her back on the trailer figuring we wouldn't be fishing out of her for the weekend . We took the boat over to Hank's (L&M on the board here) and told him of the problem. I could see he was in the middle of a motor job where he was hoping to get the motor back in the boat today, and had a couple more he was workin on as well. He figured it was probably the water pump and he would see when he might be able to get to it . Musky and Dennis showed up shortly and we decided to go over to Sodus and get something to eat. When we got back, Hank had the motor in the one boat, another boat moved out of the way and mine backed up to the shop and was workin on it! Needless to say, I was very suprised . He "got her done", we launched her again and she ran good . We ended up being able to fish out of her Friday and Saturday and she co-operated better than the fish did .

Hank routinely goes out of his way for people, so they can salvage a trip and have some fun. Not only in instances like mine, but also here on the board, giving out free and accurate advice and not expecting anything in return. I certainly didn't expect to be fishing out of my boat this weekend and am very thankful Hank was there and did what he did. As many of us like to support the "Mom and Pop" places out there, let's not forget that the small marine repair shops need our support too. Hank, and shops like his, are "old school" and tell you like it is and have alot of knowledge and experience. They aren't out to "upsell" you, or perform $500.00 worth of work for $750 or just do what it takes to get you out the door, but more likely to make sure everything is ok with your rig. I highly recommend Hank. He is a great guy, extremely knowledgable and worth the trip out to Port Bay.

Thanks again Hank - I owe ya one!

Shawn

I would absolutely have to agree with what everybody else has said here the guy has done so much for me for so little that it's almost embarrassing. I know that I owe him still and plan on making good somehow in the future just for all the PM's and phone calls I have bothered him with in the past (and probably will again in the future ) that he took time out of his busy day to answer

the only thing I would dis agree with would be in Shawn's little story about going to Sodus for something to eat Sure we ate but we went there in the 1st place because Shawn has this little problem (a lot of us also suffer from it too)............. He wanted to buy more tackle at the tackle shop

HANK YOUR #1 and #99 too .. That makes you 100

Nice job Tom

Tank nice seeing ya yesterday at the dock. Glad to hear you got into them too.

I took a newbie out yesterday and managed to do a 5 for 7 day but was west of the creek in front of the pump house in 9-10 fow. After he dropped the first 2 we ended up doing 5 straight with a double mixed in on the Green Nuclear Stinger right after I put the second one down. Orange J-7 took 2 off the boards and all the other 5 hits were on a the Green Nuclear Stinger which also took 2 on my last trip.

Solo trips can be nice but always better to enjoy the action and thrill of the fight and catches with another person there to high five and congratulate Not to mention the fact that you can run extra rods

They fight like a cord of wood too, but hey if you can cash in more power to ya

Jeremy GREAT JOB! Glad to see my inspirational talk helped you

Hope it holds up for ya bud! Better than the goodies I had waiting for ya at Sandy.

P.S. What kind of a cut does the guy that gave the pep talk get

10 inch is fine Rick. These guys are always bragging about the size of their knives to other guys I'm sure look at Ray K, he's gotten by using a 6inch for years .

Stay away from the "Salmon Slicer" that's for slicing the salmon into thin strips after filleting won't hold up to the bones as well.

I like the fact that they talk about how they are smart but get tricked by what looks like a tasty lunch. Or their great memories like we've never caught a fish that hasn't been caught more than once before.

STUPID FISH and STUPIDER P.E.T.A PEOPLE

Nice job Stan looks like ya got some nice tournaments going

Vic what are you nuts letting him drive that boat :D

Glad you guys (or at least the Eskimo) found a few for you guys. Glad he got his mojo working after the tough day he had perching when he thought "I think I forgot how to catch fish"
