Ralph,

If you don't find the wood you are looking for try the Birchwood Casey Tru-oil refinishing kit. I just refinished my Grandfathers model 70 he bought in 1947 and the stock looks outstanding! I carried it all deer season and it held up and shot great!

I heard on the news this morning that Redfield has gotten 92" since last tuesday with more on the way!! No thanks     that!

The white with the green tape, and the green edge with the chartreuse center are both deadly on Cayuga. If you don't want em send em my way!  

PM sent

I ran meat for the first time this year and have only run MC Rockets. I caught fish on them every trip, especially early in the day.  If you are someone that doesn't get to fish Ontario very often they are definitley the way to go because they don't spoil and they hold up to many strikes.  Mike is also VERY VERY helpful. I couldn't tell you how many emails we shared back and forth.  He even took the time to individually copy and send the precision trolling dipsy charts.  AND repeatedly resend them when they came out too fuzzy to print.  He is a top notch guy all the way!

The leaders from the flashers to the bait looked fairly long as well.

And nearly every lure and flasher was silver or some other basic color. No Pattern overload like we recreational guys try to navigate

I think you need to be pretty diligent with your between shot cleaning regimen or your accuracy will go to hell.  When all the fouling builds up in the rear of the barrel the bullet will never seat the same way, thus your point of impact will never be quite the same.  In most hunting situations you will probably be firing from a clean/cold bore so that is how I try to sight mine in.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Rob,

What kind of Broadhead? The holes in the lungs didn't look like they caused a whole lot of damage?

For those imterested Olympia arms is making an ar platfrom style rifle in 22-250.  Also, the one thing I have seen mentioned in load selection is the rate of twist in your barrel.  If its a slower twist it will generally oerform better with a lighter projectile.  I have a heavy barrel thumbhole Howa 1500 and it shot poorly with a  50gr or heavier bullet.  But, when I tried the 40 gr Hornady V-max it put 4 shots in a bottle top at 200 yds.

Whatever you choose, experiment with your ammo until you are happy with the performance.  No matter what yiou are chasing!! Good Luck!

We caught an 8.5# walleye on Ontario in August on a standard size green nuclear stinger as a slider on a 105 rigger back when the water was crazy warm after that  long stretch on NW winds

You got it Justin when you said JUMBO PERCH.  Its fairly easy to go and catch small perch most places, but to dial in on the Jumbos is a different deal altogether. 

Sometimes I think its alot like bowhunting.  Many places in Upstate NY you can go and shoot  a young buck pretty easily, but to try and nail down an older mature buck is a whole different endeavor.

What temperarure do you usually try to target when you guys are looking for perch?

BUT, stay away from the ones with !!

Awesome!  That is a great boat.  Can't wait to test it out on the fingers and the big lakes.  Does your wife know you will need a bigger barn that holds two boats yet? :rofl:  You can tell her on the bright side there will be less lawn to mow!

Selling the snowmobile Dan??  Steiwe wants to know how many more rod holders that will buy so he can count them to annoy you some more! :rofl:

Plus you can use the net to clean the cans out of the live well Dan!

FLX and CDGN,

Will there be modeling poses taken with fish this weekend as well?? :lol:  Just remembering a certain photo from Lake O with a Salmon or two!

Surprised it took you that long to respond Dan! You want to see dust, you ought to look at the Alumacraft! Last time it was out it was just a diving board for the kids!  Hoping to get one more perch trip in before she goes to sleep for a few months.

Nauti,

How do you prepare your salmon sushi style? Dipping sauces, etc...?

You can also attribute the new "fads" to the lure companies marketing "the next best thing!"  Which in reality is meant to catch the fisherman as much or more than the fish.  When the lure has been purchased their job is 98% done!

I have many magda's, a coldwater and a clarion. The Clarion is an awesome reel, much better than the coldwater for not much more money.  If you can find the clarion somewhere which doesn't charge sales tax the clarion is basically the same money as the coldwater if not cheaper.  I have ordered things from www.jaxcattackle.com and have been very pleased.  I am unhappy with the coldwater for the same reasons as mentioned above.

Forget the ruler, it goes the cooler is priceless!

Outlaw,

How did you measure your copper and backing?  I marked mine off with a 200 ft tape and could only get what I previously mentioned.

I've had 2 dreamweavers snap off the last 2 weeks as well.
