a lot of guys had a tough time sat.by the way,i'm the first boat you pass at mikes on your way out.bayliner with the alum. rail,beige with blue stripe.i'll wave when you go by.must be fun getting under the bridge to your dock.

went out sat. around 4pm.fished in front of the lsr over to dowie dale,good marks in 20 fow,no takers,came in around 6 when i heard thunder.and then the sun came out.set-up today around 6am off sage in 20 fow.fished 20 to 14 with a lot of marks and no takers till 8 then went out to 30fow.went 2 for 3, 2 hits at 25 down 101 back on a stinger orange/brown with black dots, nice little 5 lb steelie.1 really fat 5 lb brown on a savant bumblebee 16 down 100 back.both over 28-30fow.not a great start to the lake season but not bad either.both fish released in great shape.steelie must've cleared the water 2 feet 4/5 times.fought big.like to meet that one at 20 lbs. in a few years.

sounds like a good day for both of you.

will be my second trip this week-end.boat name Last Chance, channel 78.give me a shout.if nothing else i can tell you what doesn't work. i plan to start in 20 fow and work out to 30-35 and see what happens sat afternoon.in front of Dowie Dale to left of mex.point (west) would be a good start point.my best guess for what it's worth.

try 2ooo. .bring your poles and go.

just so you know..each beer raises your bac.02. a normal liver removes .02 per hour. 12 beers in 8 hrs puts you at .08.could be a problem legally in the boat or in the car on the way home.

just a thought..there was more bugs than i've ever seen sunday.could it be they have gorged on flies?

rode with a friend of mine on his boat.nice ride -0 fish.found a 1/2 million or so bugs,a ton of marks in 30-35 fow. did not see a single fish landed or back at the marina.niceday and water for my first boat ride of 2008.

you are very popular.another pm

have a nice trip.with a name like yours you can't miss. Last Chance 28 ft bayliner mexico ny.

this time of year 10 fow is a good place to start.you can catch them to the right or left untill the water warms and they move out.then left is better.watch for rocks when you are in close.i usually stay out in 15 to 20.not as many fish,but they run bigger and no boulders near the surface.don't get too shallow before dawn your first time out.i like 2.3 gps.some guys go faster,some slower.i start at2.3 and adjust if i need too.good luck,hope to see you out there,Boat name Last Chance-channell 78.

dang!congrats on the early salmon.way to go.

duh! i never scrolled all the way to the bottom.thanks.hope to splash this week.

easy fella.some of us don't get home till late sat. stickbaits and stinger spoons work well.13 rapalas will catch good size fish.if everyone else is bunched up in 10-15fow go out to 20-25 fow.good luck

firt off,i like it here,thanks for letting me in. I replied to an ad last week by pm.i have looked all over and can't see how to tell if he answered back.where do i look,or how can i tell?thanks.

well when i get a boat in the water i'll try it and let you know.

me too

canvas on my boat was done by J&S Marine. Chris Pynn pronounced fin,he has a mobile service as well.check thier web-site

thats a nice day.

this time of year spinners take a lot of stream fish.they also do well with shore casting.anyone ever tried either flatlining or shallow downrigging with spinners? i haven't but think it may work.

nice day.can't wait to join you.

no jumps but a tough fighter corner rigger just fired caught his attention in this one

checked out my slip,Nick dropped one.went a little further up-stream i landed a brown arund 7 lbs,let him go.nice color,big hook jaw.blacktop in the parking lot at the launch mex. point.about a 2 ft pile of snow across the entry.1 week of mild weather and its open.

sucess! i may do this again.nice to learn new tricks.

friend of mines nephew. lives in n.c.,biggest brown he ever saw.he caught more and better later. july 2007
