Bring it if you got it. The weekend before last we were smoking the Browns in 27 fow 10 and 15 down. Glen

I introduced my friend Toad to the message board a couple weeks ago and brought him up to the Lake to help me reel in some fish. Met up with another friend, the infamous Richard, up at the campsight on friday night and he jumped in the boat with us. What a crew I had Anyway headed out Sat. morning and the very familiar words NW at about 20 is the first thing I said. Covered alot of water and three hours later with only 2 average Browns in the box we finally figured them out. Action was fast and furious with stickbaits being our best presentation and doubles and triples shot our numbers up fast. Nice average size to the fish and the final tally included a small Atlantic and a nice Laker with the rest being Browns. Not sure of the final numbers but we released quite a few and boxed our three man limit and released some more. Toad really enjoyed his first day on the lake and Richard is just a fish catchin maniac. Fished were stacked up in a small area in Gin clear water. Sunday we had another friend, Chris aka Traveling man join the party. Got out the chute and those NW winds hit me in the puss again. Can't catch a break. Three weeks straight now. Sunday we had some color to the water so my hopes were high. Got on our fish from Saturday and only did 2 on our first pass through. Make a long story short I found those fish had spread out and we had a blast at their expense. Again we tripled up at one point adn a couple of doubles in the mix. Took fish from 4 fow to about 30. Sticks early, spoons later then back to sticks kept them coming in the boat. Again, lost count but everybody wanted to take home meat so we had a good box at the end with one dandy that I was lucky enough to be on the rod for.

Good point and good post Andy. Used to piss me off to no extent what guys would do to those little LL to post big numbers on the message boards. Thanks Glen

Pretty sure I saw one listed in the want adds on this board brand new in the box for 350.00. Wasn't to long ago, take a look. Never mind. Just went looking for it and it's sold. Glen

Yup.

Thought and prayers Lew and Zach. Glen and Kelly.

Yup.

Got out in the Bay Saturday and Sunday. Was pretty nasty with the cold temps and NW winds but the fish were biting a little bit so it was worth it. Usual Brown trout lures were taking fish. Sticks and spoons off the boards and shallow riggers. Prefered colors were changing as conditions changed starting out with dark colors and switching up to bright stuff. Fish were on the move and weren't in the same place from Sat. to Sunday. Gotta figure the wind was moving things around. Saturday we did 10 pretty quick once we found them. Kept our six, average in size witht he biggest about 7+ lbs. Did something I don't usually do and left those fish. Last weekend we did 4 right in a row betwwen 8 and 10 lbs for the same area. Went looking for those bigger fish but didn't find um. Finished the day with 11 Browns boated and 6 in the box. Got Richard thawed out over night and back in the boat Sunday morning. Was a couple degrees warmer but that friggen wind was crankin even worse than Sat.. Very difficult to hold any kind of consitant speed or keep the boat going in the direction I wanted to go. On top of that the dam fish had moved so we had to find them again. They hadn't gone far and when we did find them we did our 6 and got the hell off that nasty Lake. Back at um next weekend. Glen

No. This has nothing to do with LO Kings. The numbers of Lakers in Seneca and Cayuga where just ridiculous. They should have done this years ago. Glen

Hi Ed, looking for a GPS for my small boat. Didn't want to spend that much on a unit. Would you be willing to sell without the chip and if so how much? Thanks Glen

Yup. My vote goes to the Oak. Glen

Thanks Glen

Thanks. Those are the ones. Glen

You guys using those long cylindrical shaped swivels? What are they called? Thanks Glen

If you want run weight on your mono I would say snap wiehgts might work for you. If I remember correctly you get about 5 foot of depth per oz of weight. You could also look into lead core off the boards. Glen

Thanks for posting the report Rod. Plan on spending alot of hours on the lake getting ready for the tournaments. Wanted to add that theres plenty of water everywhere. Much better than last springs low water conditions. Could you email me those pictures? [email protected] Thanks Glen

No. You shouldn't.

Anybody going to record this? I can't get that channel. Glen

Yea, theres fish in the lake and you can get on the lake. Glen

I wouldn't exchange them. You will be allright with your Diawas. Glen

Not yet. Glen

I ran Magda 30's for the first 3 or 4 years if fished the big lake. Taken probably a couple hundred Kings per reel running them off the downriggers and the drags held up, or should I say they worked. Now when you talk about putting wire on them I gotta say that I wouldn't do it. The reels would probably hold up for a season or two but you got to remember you got $40.00 worth of wire, a $12.00 dipsey, $10.00 attractor with a five dollar fly as well as Snap swivels and snubber. Lose a couple sets and you just blew the money it would have cost you for a quality reel. AND the fish you lose will be the $20,000.00 derby winner for sure. Just something to think about. Glen

Nice fish. Glen

Thats better. Nice fish there young fella. Glen
