Rich, very cool and very sad. Thanks for sharing. Tank

What's up Guys? Just one question. Are there any advantages of using the "add a line" style cheater versus a rubberband? Or are they equal in nature? I used cheaters alot last summer and really liked them. I was using fixed cheaters with rubber bands. Thanks, Tank

Thanks Jeremy, will do on the shout..as soon as I get the boat in :evil:. Mechanic should be looking at the starter Wed. Tank

Jeremy, I love the first sentence of your last reply. Nice! Take care. Tank.

Sounds good Foster. Will do! Tank

Hey Foster, How are you?. I had several projects and am a little later than expected. I have a starter issue that should be resolved in a few days..then I am launching. I am sooo hoping to be in this weekend! I am docking at Sleepy Hollow up the creek this year. By the way, I installed a new VHF antenna, so I will be reachable, if that doesn't fix it I will get a new radio as well. Hope to see you out there soon!! Tank

Freeman, too funny. I have a 28 ft. bayliner trophy hardtop that I bought out of Ohio 3 years ago..the old name of the boat was the "Happy Hooker" I renamed it this year to "Fish Tank". I have had several little projects to do so should be launching this weekend..see you out there. I met Foster last season at the Marina..nice guy. I am at Sleepy Hollow this year. Tank

Spoons, and if you use the right ones you'll never touch the bottom. I never have, even in 4 ft. of water. Most sticks will thump the bottom starting at around 7 feet. Tank

BH, sent you a PM. Tank

Thanks again Guys! I fished Mother's day for three hours and did well. A few real slobs! I had as high as 52 in some areas. Headed back this Saturday. Tank.

Nice report Jax, nice chunky fish! Tank

Nice fish!! I'm headed there this friday! Tank

Thanks guys! Much appreciated. Tank.

Heading to Keuka this Saturday to check up on the smallies. Can someone give me a recent surface temp? Please! I will be fishing the Penn Yan branch. Thanks in advance, Tank

I fish the early season for smallies. Every weekend from mid May till 3rd week in June, also in summer at times. My family has a cottage on the lake. I have tracked surface temps since the early season inception and use it almost soley to guage peak pre-spawn period. I do not fish bedding fish. Any time you want to leave a temp is great for me. I did expect it to be much higher this year as compared to last. Thanks again. Tank

Thanks Trolling Keuka...that is way lower than I expected this year...good to know. Thanks again. Tank

If anyone fishes Keuka over the next month, could you please report on surface temp. I would expect it to be above average for this time of year and WAY above what it was last year at this time..Thanks in advance! Tank

Crazy Pic!! Did you take it or find it somewhere on the net? Tank

Sweet Buck Ray! Nice story about the big one today! Did you still hunt the one in the pics too?? Tank
