  1. I hope I wasn't coming off as arrogant. I wasn't expecting to fish either of those tournaments on lake O, so im just a little bit excited about the recent opportunity. Thats all.

    Not at all! You're an excited and competitive fisherman! I don't think anyone here could relate haha! Good luck in the west end! B)

  2. I've been hearing 30 fow east side. There is a shelf at 40 fow that drops to 80 so what some will do is anchor in 40 and cast over the ledge and work a jig up the ledge upon retrieve. Not sure how they avoid the zebras.

  3. I like longer lines when the wind kicks up.  Having shorter leads causes some crazy up and down action on your lures that probably don't look natural.  By having longer leads, some of this up and down action is taken out.  Last year during the Sodus Pro-Am (Very Rough) we had a lot of fish come off the bottom to look at our presentation only to return to the bottom again.  We had removed our junk lines for fear of a tangle.  When we put a copper down the chute, that was what finally fired.

     

    Chris makes a very good point about tangles.  To avoid this, I'd suggest picking a line and working one direction for a long period of time.  When it's time to turn, you may need to pull lines (especially junk lines on the inside of the turn). 

  4. Come on man - the point of my post is a .204 Ruger is a poor choice for deer hunting, especially a 160 yd. shot. I'm not going to sit here and give you a Chuck Hawk's run down on a better and ethical caliber choice. 

     

    To be honest, I'm not even sure what you are asking in your post.

     

    Respectfully submitted,

    Haha.  Take it easy Chris.  I get your point, I just disagree with your logic.  Shot placement is what makes the shot ethical, not the caliber.  Pap dropped that deer in it's tracks which sounds like an ethical shot to me.  I've seen a lot of unethical shots in my hunting career and I wouldn't blame a one of them on the cailber.  Just my .02

     

    It's all good,

  5. Any secrets to keeping the fillets from sticking to the grates?  I looked at that pic Musky posted in the first post and he has nice grate marks on the fillets.  I usually have to scrape the fillet off what sticks to the grate.  I do this over a pan so I can save all the loose fillet pieces for sandwich spread (so it's not a total loss).
