Fish Hunter

What's been the program out that way?

We are running out there for the Memorial Day weekend.

Would love to hear any info prior to showing up?

Thanks in advance gents.

Fattest Brown I've ever seen also.

Wow!

Never had an Otter boat issue..............made mine from wood...........they track great and pull hard.

Just returned from a 50 mile test run with new bearing, brakes and surge unit. Left side ice cold, right side just a hint of warmth. Checked wheel tightness when I returned home, just a hint of play. I'm thinking I should leave it alone. Any thoughts?

I'd say your ready to roll.

Ain't nuttin' to it.

Would'nt hurt to have a couple spin-n-glo's in your arsenal either.

We will be at Olcott so maybe we see you, are you up this weekend?

I'm gonna' try.

Hi Dave,

We heard later that there was a good bite over past Nine Mile, and folks had good numbers in front of the State Park.

How'd the winter treat you?

How's Team Draggin' Fly doing?

We are going to Wilson to fish all the Memorial Day weekend.

We went last year and caught a pile-o-fish in spite of being greenhorns to that area.

Nice Job "Fish Hunter" hopefully everything works out (weather)(waves) and we will be up again this weekend

What a coincidence- We caught a 7 lb brown with a large prop mark about 10:30 on Sun morn in 25 ft off the High Rocks. The wound was about 4-5 inches long on about a 45 degree angle about 3 inches behind the gill. We felt sorry for it and released it. The skin was scraped right off and had what looked like 3 fresh swirls from a 3 blade hit. Must have been very hungry to hit again if it was the same one. It hit a orange J9 Rapala off the board.

This had to have been the same fish, as your description of the wound it EXACTLY what it had.

We caught it by Shore Oaks, which is not far from the High Rocks. 

We released it as well.

What are the chances of that??

First time out this year for us.

Ran down to near Catfish and set up.

Smithwicks and J11's off the boards and Suttons off the balls as always, but we sure did not have them hopping in the boat at any time.

Slow pick, with no real pattern that developed, as we were changing up looking for what they wanted.

Did take 2 from a BT Rapala, and 2 from a blue/silver Smithwick, but that stopped.

Took a nice Steelhead from a new Silver Horde spoon that Jim Dence, owner, of All Season Sports gave us to try.

After finally getting back to the launch about 3:00, we had boated 12 total, and dropped 1, with the largest about 7 lbs, with what we thought was a large prop scar(not from an eel) on it.

We earned those fish, but all in all was a good day on the water, good laughs, good food, with the sun even coming out at the end. What could be better?

Weather permitting, we will give it another go next Sunday,

Copper set-up(s)?

???

I'd doubt you'd have a problem at 32 being the bottom of the temp.

Folks do hide inside the wall in Oswego when it's bad.

Selling 5 books, including Good Fishing in Lake Ontario and its Tributaries, Fishing Western New York: An Angler's Complete Guide to More than 180 Top Fishing Spots, Precision Trolling 8th Edition, Precision Trolling Big Water Edition 2, and Sportsman's Connection Western New York Fishing Map Guide. For those unfamiliar with precision trolling, these books provide depth curves for trolling lures and dipsey divers so you can better approximate depth. This will certainly help you catch more fish. Asking $30 obo for all books. I am Rochester-based and willing to ship.

PM sent for payment info.

We just use cowbell-type rigs/peanuts or spin-n-glo's when looking for the lakers.

I guess those other rigs work, but I've never bought any.

Always remember, that once a fishing lure is purchased, 3/4's of it's job is done.....

Ill take those.

Big Weenie has had those for years, called Grease Traps.

We are going up on Sunday.

Must be Joe and I went to the same planer board school...............

I set the outside lines at 150, then 125, etc.

That way, when the outside fires, it'll swing to the back and clear the others.

Copper set-up(s)?

Nice.

I thought I had heard that a boat from Bill Saif Charters fished over that way this season(long way from Henderson?)and had a 73 fish day.

Must be when it is good, it is good.
