  1. You look at someone of these charter captains, such as Scott running Silverfox, Richard H on Yankeetroller, Vince P with Thrillseeker, Tom Burke on Coldsteel ect. and you start to see some trends. They live the sport.

     

    Constant professionals on and off the water. From penn rearing projects to offering advise via posts, they know what it means to be a professional. They are confident yet humble. The moment you think you have figured out this game completely is the day you start to get to ignorant to adjust to changing trends.

     

    Being a charter captain makes you an ambassador of the sport. You do not enter captaincy to get rich as most will confirm, you enter it because you love it and as Andy Bliss says #suckstohaveadeskjob. Which is true but if it was that easy, we all would be in the game full time.

     

    I just turned 30 myself, which I feel is turning into the younger side for this sport. You MUST show your respect to those that came before you. The reasons we have such a great fishery now is the sacrifices of many of the veteran volunteers on this site.

  2. These guys put a lot of time and effort putting the tournament together with organization, gathering sponsorship, ect. Yes it will be difficult locating a serviceable launch on the morning of and the weather has not played in our favor, or anyone who owns lakefront property for that matter, but my hope is that it does not detract people from entering. This is my first time fishing the event and my first year in Rochester so I look forward to meeting fellow anglers in the area next weekend. These type of events to enter and fish in for "amateur" boats who do not have the space or want to spend extra to pay for an observer are rare. 

     

    I hope this is the biggest year for the MCOC!

  3. 4 months time will help bone healing and assist in the stability of the fusion. However, If you do not challenge the musculature as the support structure around the neck recover can be prolonged. No one wants to go through a revision to the fusion procedure and most do not loosen or fail as long as ample time for recovery is made. PM me if you want further info I work for the U of R at Strong.

  4. I am an orthopedic physical therapist. I often work with multi-level fusions. You should be able to establish enough muscular strength and endurance to support the fusion site to allow for hunting if you rehab appropriately. Do not forget the importance of strengthening your shoulders and upper back also.

     

    Let me know if I can help

  5. 2 Daiwa Great Lakes 47 LC paired with 2 gander mountain wireline rods. 

     

    Reels are are spoiled with 300 yds of power pro backing in 30# with 500+ft of 30# wire on each. Both reels have been greased yearly, both drags are in excellent shape. Line counters work great and the reset knob works freely. 

     

    One reel has a missing lens cover atop the line counter - TunaTom has them for $10.

     

    PM with any questions about the set ups.

     

    $80 each or $150 for both.
