Nice one dude Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have this same model boat/same year and have been using it hard for 4 years now. I love it. I trailer all over from Chatauqua to ADK's/St. Larry and have had zero problems with it. I also mess with trout/salmon in Lake O once in a while. I am not affiliated with the seller...just wanted to put my two sense in for anyone checking out this ad. Can't go wrong with this rig at this price....

Nice one old man! She's a fatty! I was there over the weekend and got a few big pike but no ski's. Congrats Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Cool thanks Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks for the clarification re: the minnows Larry. I did check out the MI69 site before posting but did not see anything in relation to the tourney other than date and rules. If anyone else can chime in re: times/signup location/entry fee that would be appreciated. I thought I remembered seeing it somewhere before but now i can't find it.

Also- since there is a good discussion going here, what's the skinny on the June 27 tourney? I was a muskies inc member at the beginning back when the meetings were at the honkey tonk joint but life got in the way and I have been out of touch. I see it is open to non-members but what is the entry fee? Do some of the proceeds go toward the baitfish fund like years ago? If not, is the club doing anything to raise funds for feeding musky fry? Inquiring minds want to know. thanks

I would happily participate as i have been meaning to start keeping a log of my season to try and identify trends, track conditions, etc. I'm sure I wouldn't be as much help as some of the heavy hitters out that way as I am a multispecies guy and my season is spent on several different bodies of water. I usually only get to CHQ a handful of times each year. I do believe that Ivan has some valid points but i will keep an eye out here and if this comes to fruition than I am in.

It was nice today but i was stuck in the office! I was there tues... Very slow during cold/rain in the AM and had a few bites once the skies cleared up later in the day. Was funny trolling with a few other boats around with no action and all of a sudden myself and 2 other boats all hooked up at the same time. The fish in the area all said to each other "ok on the count of 3 lets all bite!".. And then it shut off again. Fascinating.... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

We got one a few years ago up by mayville that looked just like that. And nice 45 yesterday Larry. I was trolling through that area earlier in the afternoon and got nothin.. Ran south and went 2 for 5 with biggest only at 34". Not sure what the problem was.... hooks were razor sharp. After my bait was spit back at me the 3rd time i damn near pulled a mike iaconelli...

Going on my 3rd season with Costa Hammerhead 580g and I love them. Another plug for Webster Eye Care- they were great to deal with and i am thinking of visiting again this summer for a second pair Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Nice job! I have a sister in WV and have been meaning to try the muskie fishin out that way. You may have just inspired me... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Reelguy (Chris) is the real deal. Sent him a few reels last friday... Some bait casters and a couple daiwa sealine line counters. They arrived back to me today all cleaned/lubed and look great...1 week turnaround! Just wanted to give this guy a plug... will be sending a few more reels your way later this season.. Thanks again Chris Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The wolf fish pictured is indeed hoplias aimara (locals call it hymara). Curupira is a different fish and although their native ranges overlap, curupira looks a bit different and does not get as big. Not trying to be a smart a$$, i am just a fish geek and have kept several members of the hoplias genus as pets over the years. I will have to save my pennies and join you on one of these trips in the next couple of years Capt Larry. Looks to be the trip of a lifetime! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

So cool! I used to live near sanibel and have caught just about everything that swims around there... But never caught a lookdown. Very unique looking fish. Man do i miss grilled pompano! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Whoa...that thing is a monster. Spent a week there last July and didn't even see a pike. I am not much of an ice fisherman but maybe i should rethink that...
