  1.  

    Getting the groundwork done for a good sized NY Musky Show on the shores of Lake Chautauqua this coming April.

     

    It will be held at Chautauqua Inn and Conference Center in Mayville that will have around 50 vendors that are being signed up currently , vendor list will be posted shortly.

    This is a great way to meet vendors, baitmakers and friends without having to drive to another state or pay huge shipping costs for rods , nets etc.

     

    Chapter 69 Muskies Inc will cover the kids corner and I hope to see lots of us there!

  2. People posting the "protection" of muskies (like myself) are often the ones who have puts years of dedication to inform , promote and protect this resource and often have alot invested in time and effort. For some it's become almost personal bc of effort involved over the years.

    If someone would like to learn more about muskies, please stop into one of our free informational muskie inc meetings. Imo- It helps shorten the learning curve in many aspects.

  3. I'd map out that weed line and troll it up. 5 mins of trolling imo equals about 100 casts.

    So what would you do if you were targeting fish hugging bottom, just outside of the weed edge in very clear 7 to 14 fow. Having to be super accurate with bait placement (within a couple feet of fish). Just cast at them? Lol that's what I want to do, but Im trying to gain as much trolling experience possible before the fall feed is on

  4. To me running short lines is just bc I'm targeting fish in shallower water . I fish maybe a lil slower when running short ( less than 10' line)

    Spring time is my short lining time when I'm trying to present baits over emerging weeds and only have a few feet of water above the weeds ie, the reason for only letting out a few feet of line.

     

    I do want to mention the best big fish angler I know of says his best line length on super clear water is 100' back and 100' out to the side on a plane board. Simply to disassociate the lures with the boat.

     

    My only double this year came fishing 11 fow with lines at 6' and 8' but that was in dirty water with 1' visibility .

  5. Nice tiger! I used to whitewater kayak the beaver river up there and tried a few times on the lake above the dam from borrowed canoes since I never brought serious gear with me on kayaking trips but struck out myself . Never gave it the attempt it deserves. Good luck and I know there's plenty of small mouths to keep ya busy if the tigers dont cooperate.

    I used to ask the locals about tigers but didnt seem they get much interest from the folks I spoke with.

    Katia and I represented our chapter 69 club in the chapter 16 ironman tourney this last weekend and were lucky enough to take 3rd place. Water temps were 76-77 degrees and fishing was tough after the front came thru friday morning.

     

    Katia just got outta surgery earlier in the week and toughed it out to be my partner with 7 stitches in her neck , she's proven to be a real trooper!

     

    First place was won by Errico and his partner casting (same guy who win the showdown), second was won on 6" Bakers by a PA team and 3rd place was on my 5" baits. Good times and happy to represent the club that means so much to me.

     

    Good luck and best wishes to those out fishing!20190713_112130.thumb.jpeg.9f4611259c7226d3a8493cf52436ae49.jpeg20190713_155943.thumb.jpeg.4b72f448a221a2e740cbfd809db998da.jpeg20190713_100625.thumb.jpeg.11232576a44ee680d13a8b7e2b955d37.jpeg20190713_200947.thumb.jpeg.70217d01a9a62b99c6a6e47ef9912c4e.jpegScreenshot_20190715-080806_Messages.jpeg.e19e59d63c72384d4191efa5d4ccce79.jpeg20190713_100647.thumb.jpeg.b84045896f52c587a1e5864745d31f82.jpeg
