FLX doesn't run spoons with much success But, he has a great deal of success with flasher/fly combos and other 'secret lures'.

Listen to Yankee Troller, FLXTroutman is the man! And, he is always willing to teach, something that can't be said for a lot of successful fishermen (except those on LOU, who have ALWAYS been helpful to me).

Be hunting near Farwell, MI. South of Clare, MI which is kinda in the middle of the state, above Lansing. More importantly, above the rifle/shotgun line; so the Marlin 1895 G in .45-70 will get a workout. BOOM!!!

Nope, Town of Middlesex.

Already winterized the boat, so it's the woods for me. Stuck a nice 6 point buck who snuck in on me from an unseen trail. Too close, I shot high and gave him a back shave! :x :x :x Saw a real nice old bruiser across the ravine chasing a doe back and forth for 30 - 40 minutes, just couldn't use my Jedi mind powers to get her to cross the creek and come up my side of the trail ( 30 yd. broadside shot when they top out ). Got one more weekend, then off to Michigan for gun season opening at Aunt & Uncles farm for a few, then back to Canandaigua for a few weeks of 'grocery shopping' in the woods.

Nice job! Time for stew.

Nah... we are still fishing I think, right FLX?

I'll pitch in with a pencil holder or two from my business. ( except I can spell better than the website people we use!!! )

Go to Seager Marine, on Lakeshore at the City Pier. They have a decent, color, laminated map with basic topo information and fishing hints on it. Also, the Western New York spiral bound fishing maps book (Gander, Bass Pro, WalMart) is decent.

FLXTroutman, LTTroller and I went out this morning from the south this morning at the crack of dawn. Called for ncallahan03 several times on the VHF but we stayed pretty much south of Bristol Harbor. Had 4 lakers hit, landed all 4 of them. Graph was pretty barren most of the trip until we started picking up, then we were marking fish in about 90 FOW. Had a great time, and got to meet LTTroller.

I'm in.

Just follow Jekyll. If I am onboard, you'll see all the fish I lose and maybe they'll hit for you

I think it is just below the point North-East of Granger Point, near the 100' line, but I am not positive. I've only fished there a couple times with you and never paid attention to landmarks, I was too busy trying to pick your brain about fishing for Trout in Canandaigua Lake :?

Great Day! Glad to see you and the boys had a successful trip! Give me a shout if you want to hook up down there next weekend.

Oh, I get the hint... You will hopefully be visiting the taxidermist. Nice deer.

Saw A LOT of boats in the 60 - 70 FOW range, both when we went out, and when we returned. I assume they did okay, as they were not moving around, but I did not talk to anyone who was fishing there. I'd love to get back up there, but that 2 hour drive at 0300 hours is a killer after the way these past few weeks have been at work! :?

Left the docks on the Dapper Dan with Jekyll and Danno (newest member of the Blue Man Group) at 0515 on Saturday. Checked out the water in close, didn't see much, so we started around 80'. Ran all over the 80 - 120 FOW range, coming back to dock around 1900 hours. Overall, we were 9 for 18, with 3 Coho, 1 Steelie, and 5 nice Kings. All were on flasher/fly combos, with green/green and white/white variations being the effective ones. Some were cheated, some not. Jekyll can provide the exact details, as he keeps the records on his boat. Great day for fishing with a couple of great guys. Not too hot, not too wet, and no boat traffic where we were. My first Coho Dinner!!

Had the same problem as Gambler. Used the 'Trailer' button until the mechanic was able to re-wire it properly.

Sounds like I missed a great weekend Out of town this weekend (taking wife to Maine) but maybe we can hook up after that for food salmon, since derby isn't going to happen for me this year.

Give me shout if you need any extra lines (or reloads ) - I have a little experience with unfair oddds and being the 'odd man out.' But, seriuosly, any time you have an open seat or want 2 extra lines, I am dying to hook up with a salmon this year. My boat will not be Ontario-ready this year, maybe next year.

Looks like a great time. Glad you hit some fish and didn't have to plow any sails!!

Thanks! I'll have to see if I have one.
