can't help with the past 24 hrs but was out on sunday and surface temp was 84 [ Post made via iPhone ]

PAID! I am in for this one...can't wait

hmmm... it sure does, shows how much i pay attention. well that makes things easier. I will just have to come up with some sort of a mounting plate. lookin at the down easter s-11

What are you guys using for musky trolling? I have scottys on my boat now, but tomorrow i finally get to retire the old girl and I am picking up a new tracker pro guide v175 combo. I don't want to be drilling holes in my new baby right away and remember some of you talking about the clamp on down east rod holders... how are those holding up for those that use them? any specific model I should be lookin at? Thanks in advance

Nice job. was out there most of the day on saturday baking in the sun and the pike wanted nothing to do with us

Mostly hammer handles up in the 1000 islands... and a bunch of incidental bass. couldn't keep the damn things off our lures. had decent weather though and was nice to be out on the water for a few days

Woo hoo! 5 days left... can't wait. good luck to everyone on saturday, hopefully there will be some fatty pike pics on this board next week. i'm headed up to the st lawrence for 4 days lookin for gators. Tight lines and hope to see some of you on the water this season

Right... prob will end up taking this route since i would rather not mess with it myself. Thanks for the info Capt. Larry

hmmm...i will check that out. thanks for the tip

Anyone know of a place in the Rochester area that repairs Minn Kota trolling motors? got a 55lb transom mount that quit on me at the end of last season. closest place i found so far is in orchard park... thanks

Wow- very nice stuff there Zach...they are lookin better and better. I will def have to pick up a few from you before next season

She's a beauty! Nice job

My thoughts exactly...

a dog is a far cry from a human child, but to each their own. [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Wild pic. don't know about $1800 for dog surgery tho...

me likey

Zack those baits look amazing! Nice work man

Partial to perch/sunfish colored crankbaits myself but as for bucktails, black tail w/orange blades is tough to beat

I got my baits a few weeks ago and am already thinking about getting a few more. I have been extremely busy lately (also had boat issues), so I have not run them yet...planning on gettin them wet this weekend. Don't hesitate to grab a few of these. They are very well made and are absolutely beautiful to look at. I also have the foiled perch pattern along with $9 bass. Both are 6" jointed w/o rattles.

Awesome... She's a beauty for sure. Is that a sleeping bag i see in the boat? Now that is badass [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Maybe I can talk the DEC into stocking tigers in my swimming pool.

Nice job man Lime lake.... sounds like a good place to bring the kayak. I will have to keep that in mind.

Gotcha- I meant funny b/c I was thinking about this same thing this weekend...how I never figured out a pattern or could really never target tigers effectively (although I try). Just random encounters. Lots of good info here tho...

Wow...very interesting article. Tigers have been a tough fish for me to figure out. Funny you posted this now.... I thought I was being smart this weekend and while everyone was out hammering Waneta, I shot out to Otisco to try and get a big tiger. The story went the same as my last few outings... Had a big a$$ tiger follow a bucktail right to the boat and turn away at the last second. After that, only got a few bass (which don't count haha). That tiger sure got my blood pumpin tho...and yes, it was in shallow water (8ft) and over a large weed bed.

Very, very nice! Congrats!
