  1. Just received this from Dave Turner: The following will be the tournament dates for 2009. Niagara June 6 & 7 Orleans June 13 & 14 Oswego July 11 & 12 Wayne July 18 & 19 Rod Team Lucky Enuff
  2. I too believe in this Chris, the effects of death and dehydration always reduces total body weight, reguardless of the type of living creature.
  3. I've been through this a few times myself. Bill's observation is a valuable one cause they used the same certified scale 45 min. apart....so there is your answer! I had to make the decision to run or fish several times this past season. Every time, I decided to keep fishing. The fish loose weight over the first couple hours...then they level out. They don't just continue to shrink. We had a king we weighed for the summer derby that was 29.7 on the scale a few hours after we caught it. We then took it to another tourney we fished that day for weigh in and then returned it to the loc station to hand it over. It again weighed the same 29.7 (1.5hrs later) We had two this season that were close to being top 20, but didn't bother entering them. With the price of gas, It's not worth it for $25 and that's really something that needs improvement on in the loc. If it's not going to make at least top 10, I won't even bother. There are a lot of factors for your team to consider when deciding to stop fishing and run in to have one weighed. First off, The prize structure in the loc doesn't make it worth while unless your in the top 3-4. For the summer loc, if it won't make top two, forget about it. You can determine that with a good scale and a phone call on the boat. If it might be close to the top few...GO! If not, enjoy the fishing and weigh it when you get in. If it won't make any difference in the $$ placement,why not continue to enjoy the reason your out there in the first place....to fish!! Just my .02, and congrats on the nice fish!

  4. Why not ask Gary? I've never met anyone who limits out every time....nor have I personally ever had anywhere close to a 200lb 6 fish box. Sounds like Gary is the man !! I say....do as Gary does
  5. Congrats on your accomplishment Stix! Look forward to seeing you in The Pro Ams.....lot's of fun!
  6. Funny Ray....she razzed me a little but It was cool cuz I was happy for her. She doesn't have possession of it, It's in a freezer somewhere....she couldn't remember where?
  7. Don't know about you Rick, but it's gonna take 5+ to keep me off ....this is a fishin trip, not a sitting around camp drinking trip....Unless the girls I'm fishing with go getting green on me I'm not gonna have a real seasoned crew....it could make for some good fish tails
  8. I gotta agree with RR....your just gonna loose tackle and fish. Your not casting, your trolling so there is no benefit to light line. Heavier line does not effect the fight when your talking about a 30lb fish with attitude. Different principles apply to Salmon trolling than most other fresh water fisheries. First off you shouldn't let a fish just run wild when there 100 boats around you. With light line you will have to pull lines, loosen the drag and then chase the fish or you'll be spooled before you know it. That's a major no-no when it comes to trolling etiquette this time of year. During the summer.....whatever. but not this time of year with all the other boats. We were nearly spooled this summer by a 29lb 7oz King with 30 lb line....only had about 3-4 passes left on the reel before we got the boat turned. Sometimes you just can't stop these fish, even with the propper equipment.
  9. I don't use that launch much, but I don't recall a "gate". There is a pay station but I don't recall an actual gate being there? Then again....I could be wrong. Rod
