Hello richard....sorry no flies(only ones i use).I`ll have to get back to you on thursday-got a birthday wed for my niece.My cell is 315-576-1208 .this will give me a little time to gather other stuff.I may be out in your direction this weekend in search of fishable ice. Bob

hello richard,hope you had a nice christmas....$80....i could probably throw together more seeing how it`s all in my basement and i need to clean some more.What is of interest?I`ve got some ice jigs as well.I`ll look more if your interested.Have a safe newyear. Bob

here`s a couple from last weekend at chautauqua-small but fun-had crappy weather

thanx guys.One came from the south side between the bridge and the red buoy on a 7"drfter stalker in fire perch-tiger(pictured - on up rod-yellow?) in 14fow 30ft back.The oyther from irwins bay on 9"muskullunch in perch.18fow 28'back.Both at 4.3mph.Met a couple guys from pa and theirs were done by the amish around butler pa-nice work.

as a matter of fact i did.....they were`nt big but but did connect on two.Nasty,nasty weather.Wind,rain and it even snowed on me monday morning.I need to look into an enclosure for those days,stayed out all day.

thanks for the report nitro.I`m gonna be trolling quite a bit.May have to bring the riggers.Gloves are off this trip....well maybe i`ll keep them on with the temps.cya Bob

hey man...not as good.managed to land 1 of 7lbs and had 3 others over that turned @ the boat.Only action was on musky baits.7"mr.toothy(the one i caught him on) and 8"muskellunch in perch.Seemed where we were they wanted a lg profile.Boy it sure was cold in the am.Maybe i`ll start out a little later in mornings.On my way right now down to sodus for a couple hrs.Good luck .

thanks gambler....however im already comitted.I`ll get there @6am

been at it since `06.Was always a pike nut now i`m just nut`s in general.Love chasing both.No guides,Spent some long hrs on the water,had(still do)my nose in mags etc.Got some help from a few guys but learned much as i went.Most would`nt give out info(@least not whom i asked)but now many will offer up some good advice.Also watched others on the water from a distance of course,casting /trolling technics.Forums are a great tool,Someone will always respond.

hey waylander....i`ll be there too.I`ll be tossing topwater for tigers right out of the launch starting @ 630am.Afterwards hitting 15-20' depth for northerns using large cranks and big spinnerbaits,may even try shallower with inlines.Concentrating deeper edges though.I`ll be in a 16` starcraft white hull with red/blue graphics.pike/muskie stickers on the side(blk f150).I`ve heard of some nice pike coming from same area(launch).Do you have a marine radio????if so what channel??oh yea...welcome to the site Bob

top is @ chautauqua the others are @ waneta.Heading to chautauqua @ the end of this month,hopefully adding more pics.lure in bottom is a 7"straight stalker in blk perch,top one was on a 9"ernie

ooops..sorry,they did`nt come from my boat.That was it for the whole bunch-and i`ve got no pics-we got blanked.Irondiquoit was a bust too today!!nuts

we were @ waneta yesterday for the mark troy memorial musky tourney.Not a whole lot of action for us (lost my best ernie)but a good time(3 were boated-42,44?and 38...i forget).Thanks to jim reynolds and bob saucke for a great day on the water and get together afterwards-food-drinks-and conversation.Met some nice people and won a couple of mr.toothy`s crankbats in the raffle. On to conesus,silver and the gennesee next weekend(off on monday),chautauqua oct 24.Right now.... a few hrs on irondiquoit Bob

Just found this forum and thought i`d hookup.Not much to say(yet)...just....I LUV 2FISH FOR ESOX!!!!!!!look forward to chat`n with others who enjoy the same.I`m not too shy about trading hot spots,techniques and such.I try to get out as much as possible.Boat will be in into november then it`s time to get ready for hardwater.I have a 16`white hull,red/blue graphics starcraft sporting musky and pike graphics.Give a shout if ya spot me.I fish chautauqua,waneta,conesus,irondiquoit,sodus.(someday the niagara).I collect antique fishing lures and also bowhunt in the fall when not fishing(tough choice!!)cya Bob :mrgreen: [/img]
