1. i cant wait i'm planning on saturday this weekend the boat just needs some gear oil and is all set to go.  the only thing that might stop me is if the weather is right I may go to lake O for browns

thinking about this weekend as well the way the weather looks how often does the lauch behind the hotel ice up? its supposed to be real cold the next two days if i have to launch from severn that changes things for me as i only have a range of a couple miles

my brother and I look forward to the derby all year its the only time i get to spent 3 days in a row on the water. makes me wanna get the boat our more than ice fish

im due for a raise but it wont be much my guess is this boat wont be avail long

Thats painful that boat is almost exactly what I want now if you drop the price by about $6500 it will fit in my budget.  I had to take on the whole family in health insurence this year instead of just me and the kid man thats a blow to the wallet.

ray lewis was instrumental in another mans death he has no right to be talked about like hes this great person I hope he misses the tackel on a game winning touchdown by san fran

a 12lb leader will keep even heavy mono sporting

i have the same problem they keep eating my fruit trees. i wanna sit in my kits tree house and take a couple of them down maybe my peaches would stand a chance next year.

we fished sunday started late (8ish). had a tough time batteling the wind. fising was slow boated five small LL lost one about 3lbs at the boat and had some knock offs. nothing specil but is always nice to get out.

there are no blue catfish in the genny they do not live in NY there are channel cats and some big ones there are also stinging catfish which only get to a couple pounds. cut bait and commercial catfish bait work very well for them deep holes catch fish as well as log jams if you can find them. if your shore bound just keep trying the farthur upstream the better in the spring and summer if your getting some small ones that means your in a decent area try some shiners cut in half you will get fewer small fish but will get some brutes. nite is best but if your in the right spot you can get them during the day.

i cant wait gonna de-winterize the boat for next sunday and take my brother out there i definatly am into this whole winter fishing thing

gotta love the gar pike very underated fish

i can tell you fishing the finger lakes it matters espeically when the fish are up high down deep I could see the argument but even than how many times do fish follow for a time than swim off or bite dont you think seeing the line at that point might affect a fish? in the old days when i fished with my dad pre zebra muscle it didnt matter these days I think it can make a difference and the shallower the fish are the biggger the difference.

cant go wrong with PLine i use it for leaders on my tip ups for pike without issue and have been using it since i got back into trolling and works great

where is smith park if the weather allows i would love to get out again

in the report on the first link the last line under projects there putting a camera in at the hatchery fish ladder? I would love to see that become a web cam one of these days i'm gonna convince my wife to take a weekend trip to see the hatchery and fish the river in the fall.

If i could i would im praying for really cold now would be fun to ice fish out of watkins

i was supprised to only see one other boat out and he was perch fishing the weather was gorgeous almost makes me wish for a no ice year i like this winter trolling thing but my tip ups didnt get wet this year so i can hear them in the basement screaming for action.

boat size and style makes a difference smaller boats where you can reach the stern over a board the board is a nice option because of weight distribution as the boat gets larger gunnel mounts are more and more appealing what make and model boat do you have maybe some one with a similar model will be able to give you some feedback on what theve done.

Made it out christmas eve even got the stepson to go with me. Took the drive to Watkins set out right out of the channel didnt get all the lines in before we had our first midget LL in got a double on one rod a minuet later and steady hits from then on got about a mile north of the plant and turned back. As the day went on the fish got a little bigger ended up with a 24" laker a 22" rainbow and a pair of 22" land locks plus several salmon and bows up to 18 inches made for a fun day at least every lure took hits even the flasher fly DW SS bloody death on a 4 color core took the most and the biggest bow the way the fishing was turning i should have started late and fished till dark as they wer definatly getting bigger as the day went on. All fish were released for the next trip we did get two fish with lamprays on them first for me out of seneca this year both were small 10 inch lampreys and floated away nicely in multiple pieces it worrys me to see them on those little fish like that though. Hope the weather stays warm enough i can keep the boat running for another winter trip or two.

plans changed for the better wife wants me to go tomarrow in stead so i guess i gotta shovel the rest of the driveway so i can get the boat out.

i get one chance everyother week to go fishing one way or the other i'm going out calling for west winds could potential fish west side of seneca would launch out of clute but will probably not take boat out with bad roads and snowed in driveway worst case some of the small tribs are pretty sheltered just have to deal with the crowds which i hate doing

yeah i'm seeing that i might end up shore fishing or breaking out the waders and going to a trib (lake O) but given the chance i would rather troll

nice report i'm hoping to get out sunday if the weather and roads allow for it.

oh well time to bust out the moonshine
