Tall Tails

SSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attach it to the backing in front of the copper 10 to 20 ft.

I got this from an Ice fishing forum I frequent.

16.9lbs Mystic Lake, western NY

It says its been confirmed but you know those rumors! Anyway Real Nice Fish!!!

Funny, you dont look like you have a hard time eating!

That is Great News!!!! Maybe our voices are being heard!

Thats it thanks for posting the site. YT we will talk.

There is a farm right here in Cortland. i will get the website. We hunt the escapes!!!!

I had my Sea Ray Amberjack sold but the guys bank backed out at the last minute because there is no title for pre 87 boats. Just wondering if anyone here has gotten one before?

The people I have spoke to at DMV arent really sure what to say! Suprise!! Suprise!!

Thanks in advance!

Brian

And to think I didnt go because I had to make to many phone calls! I wont do that again!

Nice job Ty and Logan way to show the old men how to get it done! LOL!! Those 2 boys dont know how good they got it! Those kids catch fish with the best of them! Trust me I have witnessed it.

Nice Job Jim and Lou! I wont turn that invite down again!

Team Tall Tails will be there! We have heard Dan speak before and he is very good!

I agree with Bill 100% I am sick and tired of the same ol same ol!

Bill

I thought I was the only one who had not gotten a response either. Kind of sickining if you ask me!

I spent all day yesterday fuming over this issue and I still dont feel any better!!!

Other than the 10 dollar stamp here are a few more additional proposed taxes that all seem to hit me in the wallet.

No more Star Rebate check! A tax on satellite tv! and an increase in alcohol tax.

So lets look at this for a second, I am 32 yrs old I own my own house, with satellite tv because I live in the middle of know where, I am a charter captain trying to operate a profitable business and I enjoy a few beers after work! Looks like the tax man just lives at my house!!!

Other than a Good job why should I stay in New York and not pick up and go somewhere else! I could get a transfer at work and leave anytime! There is no incentive for people my age to live, work and play in New York state. I would like to know when the Downstate is going to start pulling there weight here and stop penilizing us for a quiet way of life!!! I guess I need to work more than the 60hrs a week I already do!! Apparetly I am not working hard enough!!

I am really looking forward to the Mass email I will have to send to all customers saying "dont forget to spend more money this year when you come fishing!!!"

Sorry guys I just needed to vent!!!

I will be contacting anyone that will listen on this issue!!

Brian

Dont know Bob! I guess if you pay to play you will find out. LOL!!

Tom,

Same event!!! I posted this for the boys in Olcott and had heard about Oswego but did not have confirmation so I didnt want to reveal it.

Thanks guys for you response!

They are telling me you have to be in by the niagara pro am date.

Rod we will talk!

This has Yankee and Billy V written all over it!! Come on boys pony up!! LOL!!!!!!!

Guys thanks for the input I do appreciate it very much. Last I heard we had 18 teams that have made verbal commitments. We figure somewhere around 25 boats. Thats about the norm for these Big Boy shoot outs in other parts of the country.

I for one may have 6 guys on the boat to help me defray the cost some.

Again thanks for the input.

Brian

I wanted to tell you guys about a tourney that is being planned for the day after the Niagara Pro-Am. It will be similar format to the Big Boy tourneys in Mich that follow there pro ams.

The entry fee will be $1000.00. I know I know!! Dont shoot the messanger!!

Port: Olcott only

12 fish limit weigh in. One day tourney.

Payout: Structure with 25 or less Boats.

50

30

20

If there are more than 25 they will pay 5 postions deep.

More of the rules to be posted as we see what interest might be. This format is followed in Michigan the day after a lot of there pro ams. It will be nice to see if this has some interest in our Lake.

Please dont shoot the messanger on this just trying to see who may be interested. I am not involved in any way with this other posting it on the internet for these guys.

The old Derby V.S. Tournament discussion!! Two completely different competitions.

Try a tournament and see if you like it before you bash it!!!!!

This thread is changing focus which I think Fishtails didnt want to happen by starting it. I guess we all knew it would.

See everyone in 09!!

THANK YOU TOM!!! Glad most of us are on the same page!!!!!!!

I have lucked out and have 2 or 3 retired guys to observe for me. We bring the observer with us prefishing and they reel in every fish during prefishing. And we cover lodging and meals. So they get a fishing trip for free and help us out for 2 days. I even have one that does all the cooking back at the campers!!!! Observers are nesacary in the pro div. What we dont need is open communication. THERE I SAID IT!!! LOL. Unfortuanelty the committee likes communication and wont change it. Although it sure would have changed the outcome of at least one tourney this yr. See Everyone in 09!!

We use the dryer sheets in the campers and have had success with it.

And we thought the Orleans tourn was tough this year! You havent seen anything yet!!!!!!!!! Santa better bring me some steelhead stuff!!!

1/4 Mile? My 600 copper is right there

Looks like a brown, to many spots to be an atlantic and the brown color around the underside of the fish gives it away. Atlantic smolts are way more silver in color. Also atlantic smolts dont have any where near that number of spots.
