Those make for a great day!

Great photo too!

Bottom Feeder, got any favorite colors out there on the RR?

I'll be there from the 5-12. First time fishing those areas so I'm gonna try an give'em hell! I'll keep my ears open on the radio. My rigs hard to miss lol. If any of you see me out there say hi, and the best of luck to us all!

pm is answered. There is a wide variety of fish work out their and Paul will agree its a "get what you pay for" thing, Paul's work is definately topnotch! Location of your taxidermist is not a factor as far as fish are concerned because they are easily packaged and shipped. You shouldnt restrict yourself to only choosing from whos local to your home..

Thanks guys, I'm definately doing the trax system. Bought some that clamp onto my rail last year from Cabellas and there junk! They dont hold and the ratcheting system is weak and poorly built. I'll check out Berts.

Looking for new ones, what brand do you guys recomend?

Mike.

Good input Larry, I hope they just dont feel they need to make it into a big difficult ordeal rather than just changing the 2 rod to 3.

Oh and to answer your question, photos and measurements are all you need unless you get a custom cast made.

Bass is for guys that can't catch walleyes....

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Adding the print to the Fishing Regulation Books and Administrating the $10 3rd Rod Stamp would cost more money then the $10 3rd Rod Stamp would bring in in funds." Isnt that what were already paying for???? That sounds a bit like BS. Cmon.

Heres a replica Lake O brown I recently finished. Since there was no custom mold of the fish made I modified a commercial blank to match my reference "have to do that alot lol."

Heres the original head on the blank.

Mouth interior sculpted.

Jaw attached.

Hand painted eyes and finished head ready for paint.

Each scale is hand painted an average of 3-5 times to build depth in the paint.

Thanks for looking.

I'd actually pay more than ten bucks for a season of extra rods. Depends on your situation. I myself am fishing alone 90% of the time so it would be worth it for me.

LOL, AGREED.

I'm going to tie some up to try on the opener. I've never fished there isnt the water pretty murky?

Anyone use'em for walleye or is it mostly a crank/stickbait bite?

Mike.

I cant seem to find a definate if it is in affect?

K, now at least I know where NOT to be. lol.

Tried finding lodging in Sagats Harbor but no luck. Want to be able to keep my boat in the water where I'm staying. All the places are all in Henderson. I may just have to make the run up into the other bays when the weather is cooperating? I really want to be Near BRB, Guffins etc. Thank to all you guys for the great info, its REALY appreciated!!! Does anyone know of any lodging options in that area?

I realy appreciate everyones input so far. How far of a boatride between Henderson and Black River Bay?

I like fishing at night, I just think I want a change of atmosphere this year. Hows the quality of fish in Black river Bay?

==================

(your welcome message to LOU - anything else you want to say to the community goes here). Glad to find a site that is Lake O specific! Everyone here is very helpfull, Nice to meet you all!

Started going last two years. Damn its fun! Went in the first week of july and fished out of Loraine. Met a great guy on Walleye central who took me out the first day and showed me the ropes on the Erie spinner bite. Some realy nice Folks out there. Oswego is different! ALOT of assholes out there at night! I dont get it? I'm going back because I'm familiar with it I guess lol. Whats the Henderson Harbor experiance like? Now you got me thinkin about exploring other options lol. Actually got a touch of heatstroke last year on Erie, WAS HOT! Great being able to go for a swim off the boat though!

Mike.

Thanks alot guys, I rented the same cabin as last year may 5-13 so I'll definately be doin some fishing. I catch all my eating fish out of Erie in July and release all large fish there as well. I'm not in it for the meat just the photos! I have a great deal of appreciation for someone who can release a trophy fish! As for Fat Nancys and Screwy Louies, loaded up at both spots last year and will do so again this may!

Mike.

I fished Oswego last year and everyone fished walleyes at night only. I love fishing at night, but isnt there any daytime action? Does anyone have any daytime experiance or insights they'd like to share?

Mike.
