I bought some ladderbacks from R&R last year. They had a pretty good selection. I think the site is something like www.mytacklebox.com They threw in a suprise spoon with the order! I think LOTSA members may get a discount?

Thanks for the prompt reply Gambler. I guess we'll head out maybe fri/sat. Now all I have to do is finish the gutted but almost completed honeydo bathroom, get both boats ready for lake O, ect, ect.. I GAVE UP ICE FISHIN' TO FINISH THIS BATHROOM REDO AND AM STILL LATE GETTIN' READY FOR "O"! Well, the docks aren't in at the Oak yet so I still have time. Surface temp probably isn't 40 yet.

Anyone know if the 'eyes and pike are running at the south end inlet? We have been going to see the spawn show the last few years and would like to catch this fantastic show again this year. That's if VHS hasn't done a number on the fish.

What T said. Seemed we were dropping some of our best fish until I started snelling the singles in.

Andy Miller, an Amish guy out of Lyndonville. Great craftmanship but not as cheap as I thought they'd be. But I'm happy. I have his # somewhere, but I think he needs the boat there.

Looking forward to seeing you there Eric. Maybe we can put on a "Salmon Drive".

What T said. I've tied single 4/0 gammy octopus singles ahead of all trebles with 50# ande clear mono. Took me a while to perfect the snell technique but that's all I run on the flies.

The Oak, as always. Started there with the small 18' for the near shore spring thing then graduated to a larger boat and offshore kings/steelies.

Waterlogged, it was FP in E. Aurora.

Well, I'm working on my 2nd career. The first was 21 years as a line/forklift mechanic with a WNY toy company. My job went to Mexico in '91. After re-careering, I am now <4 years to pickin' my days on Lake O (read retirement). Current occupation: psychiatric RN in a maximum security correctional facility here in NY.

What Skeener said. BTW it's good to be back and able to post again. I had a heck of a time getting back on after the hack thing. I wonder if there are a lot more members that can't log on out there. Thanks to the site administrator for getting me back on. This is a great site, one of my daily reads.
