Alrighty then. Plenty of good thoughts here and all by guys who only want the best for the fishery. But with under three weeks to go i say leave the rules as they are for this one. We can have a polite discussion on changing things later. To me these tournaments are just a way to nag some of my sons to go out with me. I am 0 for 7 in tournaments but the quality time with my adult sons at these events has been priceless. I may bring a grandson to this one. On another note,what do you guys want to eat this year? I brought the chow last year and i understand there was too much. Input please.

Is this still on for the 21st? It's not on the website or at least i don't see it. Also there was talk of rule changes for this event at last week's meeting. It doesn't affect me as I have never caught a fish in a tournament but the word needs to get out.

It was a worthwhile meeting. Good to meet some of you. Trevor did a lot of homework.

Welcome and good c and r attitude! There is a tiger tournament at Otisco on may 21st. Put on by NY muskie's inc chapter 69. Register and launch at Otisco Valley Campground. Fishing starts at 7am.

Right you are,BP! this is my oldest on a Mk 48 adcap torpedo. Like he says "say hello to my little friend".

I did a walleye webinar last week. It was through something called "zoom". I had to load an ap on my phone for it. It worked pretty good. For what it's worth i live only a half hour from the moose in Henrietta and have never made a meeting. I often plan on it but then i work 9 hours,walk the dog,eat dinner and then i'm done. I just can't stay up that late. I haven't been up past ten since I went out with Justin.

I just got two optimas from street side auto. $175 each includes shipping.

At Conesus I catch pike and tigers in the same spots. But I get 20 pike for every tiger there.

I never really thought about it.But I have experienced what you describe at Waneta. Every time I go into the shallow slop there I catch pickerel.

I told my wife i was going to a meeting at bass pro on the 23rd. She said "fine,just don't take your wallet."

Chatauqua marine told me black suicks in front of the marina was the hot setup. I don't like suicks but ten to fifteen fow in front of that marina is a good spot. Whatever bait you like enough to keep wet and keep working is what works there. this 50 is the biggest i've seen there. My son caught it on a three inch gold redeye on my 60th birthday. Took him ten minutes of fishing. Kid doesn't even own a pole! Who knows with these critters?

I have fished there 2/3 times a year since 1995. Always casting,from 1 to 20 fow. I have no go to bait for there. I have caught fish there on dozens of lures but nothing i throw works consistantly. Once when my boat broke down the mechanic at Chaty

Got mine a couple days ago. Real nice.

I called today. Got to someone's voice mail. I'll try again Monday.

I did one with straps wrapped around it. Not pretty but it worked

I'm in. Gotta be better than house hunters or say yes to the dress

I bet that valver trolls like a dream on your boat

Looks nice there. Getting the itch bad now.

Good start indeed! Nice work[emoji106]

I would like some. This is the best fishing site around and getting the word out will make it better. If you pm me an address i will order some. Thanks

old man i fished that very spot this fall/winter one day on my way home from poor trib fishing. I didnt catch anything but slipped on a rock and darn near broke my leg. Looked like a good area but I had no luck I casted all around the area from many different spots

yeah,you can get hurt there. I can walk there from my house. If you don't get bit in 5 minutes they are not home. But when they are you can slay them.

They don't drain the canal between Palmyra and Newark. Maybe that stability is why the fishing is so good there. I still shore fish the canal spillways in the fall for pike. Usually on Sunday when i can't watch the Bills anymore.they will be lurking in areas protected from current near the waterfalls.

that's the view of the canal from my toilet. An under appreciated fishery to be sure. After a big rain it looks like chocolate pudding and nothing bites. But when it clears up some the fishing can be amazing.

I live on the canal in Palmyra. I don't fish it anymore since i got musky sick but i used to. Between Palmyra and Newark is pretty good for pike. You will catch more bass than pike for sure. I never trolled for them. I just stayed close to shore and cast. Both sides are good. There is a brand new ramp in Palmyra but no dock[emoji12]. There is a nice ramp with a dock by the Ford dealer near Newark. Wait til the season opens and good luck.
