    This makes my blood boil. I am taking sides with old man and Larry on this one. Last year at the Conesus Pike kill tournament on the ice, there were 2 tiger muskies killed so that they could slap em on a nail board and make some guy look like a hero. A Pike kill tournament is so outdated now. What about catch and release? Why arent you moving with the times? To kill a huge Pike that may be 15 years old and a prime spawning prospect just for cash really SUCKS!! I wouldn't enter your tournament if its catch and kill. I see ice fishermen at Braddocks all the time catching nice pike and just throwing them on the ice to die. Not even the best table fare. What a waste. Yes I know you have a right to keep one if you buy a license and all that but screw that. How bout sportsmanship and releasing the big girls so we can catch them and release them for someone else. This tournament is not for conservation minded sportsman. Bad idea.

    Love most of the new rules like 40" inland minimum and 54 in Lake O/St Lawrence. but absolutely think opening the season end of May is a big mistake. Shoot even now at 3rd Sat in June the fish are stressed out from spawning or not even done some years. I really am surprised that fishery biologists would recommend opening the season early. I think they got everything right but that. Is Muskies Inc in favor of this or against opening early? Is the early season for inland waters only? Great lakes stay the same?

    Unless that was 54" it should of been released. Correct me if Im wrong on the 54 buts its way up there on the St Lawrence for minimum keeper size. NIce fish too bad it was killed. Nice angling feat on 6 lb test though.

    Yellowfever, My sentiments exactly when it comes to tournament fishing for Bass. What percentage of them actually live? I remember a few years back on Erie, they released a whole load of them after the weigh in and they all or most came up dead floating out in the lake. Somehow they should find a way to weigh them in the boat and release them immediately.

    Marc, I can tell you one thing for sure. Its been proven for me time and time again. Watch the barometer. If it's 30.2 or higher...stay home. Activity always sucks on a high barometer. I bet you werent the only one who was fishless today. It was over 30.2 this morning.

    Old man Jigging for pickerel meant jigging for walleyes a canadian thing. What do canadians call chain pickerel anyway? Glad they caught this ass.

    Thanks for posting this. Truly disgusting. That is one big A##hole. You have the boat number, isnt there a way for the COs to track him? Somebody must know who this is. Anybody doing that is just not a true sportsman or educated. It really pisses me off, I have heard of guys doing that but to see it just sucks.To think I would drive 5 hrs to go there and this dumb ass does that...He deserves a nice fine and loss of a license.

    Bigblue do you ever use the lite model?
  12. BP Swing
    Not worth it with wire or all together?
  13. BP Swing
    Id like to try a slide diver for Lake O trout and salmon but there are 2 types regular and lite bite. Any suggestions on which would be better for the lake? I like the idea of having the lure as far back as you like behind the diver instead of limiting it to the rod length like a dipsey. Thanks. BP

    Well at least for today with yesterdays east wind the water went from 64 to 51 near shore. So now wondering if the southerlys will push that water back out. Wish I could figure this lake out what a PITA.
  16. BP Swing
    Can anyone tell me what happens to the water column on an east wind? Does it blow the warm water out or is there a general rule of thumb what happens on the south shore of Lake O? Jeez Friday the lakers were all over 75 feet and after 2 days of east wind it was the barren sea so was wondering what happened? Thanks Also how deep has anyone caught Lakers on the bottom max? Just wondering how deep these things go.

    Gambler, Do you ever use the long string of 7 blades or just the 3 large ones?
  18. BP Swing
    Are the hammerhead cowbells made of plastic blades?
  19. BP Swing
    I noticed the hammerhead cowbells and Northern King Lake trolls and others use 3 big blades where as the Luhr Jensen Dave Davis has a total of 7 blades (3 big ones and 4 medium). Is this overkill? Do most of the Lake Trout guys use 3 big blades only or maybe 5 smaller ones? I really like the fact that these cool lakers swim off to the depths after release unlike the rest of the trout/salmon family. Just a little help revives them and they live on for maybe another 10-20 years.

    No not true. Tigers are a cross between a female musky and a male pike. A Norlunge is the opposite, female pike and male musky. I think the Norlunge experiment ended years ago though.
  21. BP Swing
    Has been, Was the oak orchard fish a tiger or true musky?
  22. BP Swing
    Raaven, Yes we know there are plenty of muskies there (relatively speaking) but the point about this post is has anyone has got any in the central basin US side primarily around Rochester east or west. We know the Niagara and St Lawrence have them as well as eastern Lake O. We're talking Oak Orchard to Sodus area. That is the big question and mystery. At this point its only heresay.

    Does anyone know what size spin n glows work best for Lakers? Im trying to order some online and there is 0, 2 4,& 6 to choose from. Thank you
  24. BP Swing
    Can I ask what color and size spin n glows u were using and how deep? I am going to try out the cowbells and need all the tips I can get. Fishin a long time but never with cowbells.Thanks and way to go.
  25. BP Swing
    This is a topic that fascinates me. Seems like every 2-3 years I make a post about this. So here goes again. Has anyone heard of any muskies caught in the central basin from oak orchard to Rochester to Sodus? Even by accident?. Seems like with all the charters out there someone would get one by accident. I have heard of a few over the years off the Genesee River and once in a eon at the Oak and once at Hamlin Beach pier but really nothing confirmed with pics, just hearsay. Makes no sense to me if they are at both ends why not even a stray in the middle? Anyone got anything or heard anything other than the shark they got in the river supposedly.?
