I was not sure where to post this and I thought this would be a good starting point.

In case you came across great deals such as Christmas sale on fishing equipment, please help the fellow LOU members save money by posting a link.

For example, I have not had any success finding hot deals on Daiwa Sealine 47LC and I found a $20 coupon on orders over $100 at Cabela's. Good for until 12/16/09.

Here is a link for those who want to take advantage of the $20 coupon:

This is very similar to the forum as found on FatWallet.com.

More money saved could translate to buying more lures for less!

Im very glad to hear about your Dad's good progress. One day at a time.

God Bless!

Rick,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for your Dad's speedy recovery.

WTG! Thanks for sharing great pictures.

Ahoy Rolmops,

I wanted to say thank you for taking us out last Sunday. The weather could not be better. Yet, no pike on a sunny day does not make anybody happy!

We got to head out again during cloudy day or even better closer to the last light.

I look forward to fishing out with you again soon.

tight lines.

I wish I have something to offer however I went out with Rolmops and we did not find pike in Irondequoit Bay last Sunday. Best of luck with your buddy from Ga.

Awesome, Tom! Thanks for putting together a great story from your wits.

Rolmops,

You got a PM.

Anthony

Wow, what a beauty! Congratulations.

Is this a Grady or Wellcraft?

I have V21 Wellcraft and the set up is very similar except for your large space.

I have a baitwell that I never use and I use this as an extra storage space. I only run two riggers on the corners and I will add a third one to run just the probe only.

Do you plan to add a trolling motor? Due to the large platform space and little access to the trolling motor, I included electric tiller so that I can operate it without having to manually lift it up and down every time I troll.

Best of luck on catching many many fish on her

I was out there fishing Saturday and Sunday. I am very glad to know you were helped out by the IBay folks. Thank to the good Lord for making sure you got back to shore safely.

Beautiful fish! Thanks for sharing.

Ditto to YT as he knows his stuff.

Spoons:

Black and silver Evil Eyes. This spoon has consistenly brought big steelhead to my boat.

NK Green Dolphin

Stickbait:

Orange J-12 rapala

Wow! Way to go Old man!

Enjoy your Birthday, Rod!

Awesome picture!

I just learned one of my co worker John A. is a cousin of Tom Burke. I asked him how come he never mentioned this to me. We have worked togeher for 12 years! I told John that Tom Burke is a legend over there in the eastern basin.

Anyways, thanks for sharing.

Tight lines.

I cant help it when I asked two of my co-workers come to the computer screen to watch this video. Poor ladies. They were so terrified!

Thanks Fishinman & Gambler.

So Funny! I nearly jumped out of my chair!

Another pix of interesting lure - Heddon Scuplin. Very light and thin blade. Probably for lakers.

I have been rearranging the lures in my garage in preparation for the next season.

Please help ID these spoons and add your comments in case you have ran them in your arsenels. Thanks!

Zach,

I understand why you re desperate about finding the suckers. They re most effective bait when I chase for pike in the bay. Bayside Tackle said they will get more suckers this week. Call on Friday 585 224 8289.

Quick question - what is a quick strike rig? Thanks.

Enjoy your Birthday! Thank you for all you do on LOU!

THats one sick brown! So huge! Your fish far pales my brown trout 12.5# caught last year in front of Webster and we took 11th place LOC Fall. I certainly hope you would consider mounting a beast of that size on your wall of fame someday!

Thanks for releasing this fish so we can hunt it someday!
