oswego harbor is a good place to start in the spring
sand flats from salmon river north to henderson
black river bay is good in spring
spring classic is the hendeson derby...4-days usually 3rd weekend in may
spring browns can be readily caught by flatlining
depending on water clarity any where from 50 to 250' behing the boat
a set of inline planer boards can easily add a couple more lines to your arsenal
spoons can range from black/silver to watermelon..... same with stickbaits......again depending on the day being sunny or overcast
10 lb mono will serve you fine until FLEA season
also check the ....open seat//trade a trip section to hook up with other guys from your area

i'm up there quite a bit give me a shout on CH 68
sat on the ice today looking at my 5 tip-ups AND 2 handlines
wondering why i can run 7 lines on the ice BUT only 2 on the lake in my boat........... TYPICAL political correctness ?????
34 degrees and rain....nice way to start the morning on the ice
not a bad day 4 fer 5 on northerns.......lost the 5th at the hole
heres a pic of a typical sandy pond northern
fished from 11 til 3 out in front of the elms
got a late start as i had to reline my tip-ups since it been 5 yrs since i last used them
there was 4 in. of snow then 3 in. of slush then a good 8 in. of ice
had 1 flag and got 1 perch about 8 inches
lot of guys fishing all over the pond.ones i talked to were getting a few perch ( looked like mostly 4-5 inchers)
the boat i bought last year came with a LOWRANCE LCX25c sonar/gps unit....... the second trip out the GPS quit working screen said GPS module not responding......... i unhooked and rehooked all wires even dismounted the module from the bow of the boat to disconnect the extension cable....nothing helped
tried to order a new module ( LGC2000 ) was backordered 3 times then was told this model was discontinued BUT could use a newer model (LGC4000 ) with an adapter cable
module is $250.00
cable $35.00
MY question is does this happen often?
just wondering if i should go with the new module or get one of the newer units with the internal ant.
thanks for your input
