  1. Probably be more of shock to you,if they just put your Silver fish in there, there no doubt a man can’t make ends meet fishing for eyes, all but 1 man I know of, but all the silver fish that’s a whole different story.
  2. Holy Holy shyt man!!! That is one angrily lake!!! WOW
  3. I remember a late spring snow that really raised havoc with everyone, I can remember we still had the property on the Perch river so early to mid 80’s it snowed at least 6-8” maybe more but the boats took a beating. The heavy wet snow bent, tore, smashed everyone’s soft tops and we shoveled the snow out of our boat which was totally open and sat way down in the water, with all that weight from the heavy wet snow. So many guys were just sickened buy the damage that was done to their boat. The canopy people were going nuts trying to get all that work done before someone else finished up for fear the guy would go elsewhere. It really was sad to see those boats canopies just smashed down on their boats.
  4. Most of the Canadian lakes have slot limits 18-24, so I would think that those younger fish must be better for reproduction?? I’m far from a biologist, but there must be a reason for there madness!! Also those Canadian lakes are loaded with perch and of course their own fry and things seem to average out. What the Canadian lakes don’t have is gobies and humans fishing for eyes through the ice. I saw countless females laying on the ice?? And I know the few ruin the picture for the majority. Most guys will send the fat girls back, knowing they weigh 8#’s for a reason.
  5. I know the pike were running in the streams as of last week, I always thought the eyes were right behind them, but don’t bank on my knowledge.
  6. This was from last week and we just got a light dusting and still a few inches on the ground.
  7. OMG I’m with ya there bud, we lost power for 3-4 hrs this evening, trees all over the roads? I had to laugh, the tree trimmers just cut what the bare minimum was to rid the problem, now the same trees are across the roads. they cut a Y in the top of the trees for the wires to pass through, now which ever way the tree falls other then with the wires one way or the other?? What is something like this other than “job security” at our cost. Running a gen. Isn’t a profitable way of doing thing, it can get costly quick!!
  8. This is going to suck in many ways other than erosion and flooding. This churned up mud and silt will settle down on the walleye eggs that got spawned. Their eggs the silt will settle down on the eggs and smother them, they will not survive. The worst nightmare for the western basin of Lake Erie is a big blow, and that class year of the young are nonexistent, this creates a big hole in the size fish caught in the next several years to come. We are finally get a grip on the eastern walleye population, hopefully many females didn’t find the right temps in either the streams or the bays of the north shores on LadyO.!! Let’s all hope this doesn’t happen, but I see on the web cams the games have begun!!
  9. I watched a program on scents, and this was done I believe in South America. They sprayed WD40 on some of the catfish sets kinda like trappers sets a pieces of meat on a hook with a dropper weight, it was a even the same amounts of non scented baits as scented baits had catsfish on, so in my “mind” that can be scary it doesn’t hurt to use it.
  10. How about it, last week ran generators for 3 day might be another generator weekend with snow yet!!!

    Sold / Closed GRADY WHITE SAILFISH 254

    My thoughts exactly!!, it seems you’ll have more and more time for polishing as the springs get shorter every year. Even with the closed water systems on this boat it still doesn’t allow earlier use. Shy of a brand new boat I’ve never saw a boat this clean and kept looking new right down to the wires!!!
  12. I’m a firm believer in scents, not so much mine being on lures but, scents like Kishels and liquid mayhem I feel it ups strikes on those days where you really need to grind it out. Of course those days anything shy of a miracle I’ll try. But in all seriousness I feel scents can’t hurt, plus I feel they really do work!!
  13. Yea I know what you mean I don’t let my boat in the water for more than 5 days or whatever my stay will be, I take on water also in the rain with the snap on covers??
  14. Something like a camper awning, you would need two groves 180* opposite of each other so when you roll it up it would pick the left & right side at the same time and roll the whole thing up in one direction of rotation. Yea I’ll put some thought into this as I’m just about sick of cleaning my covers off on account of the weight. Plus the cost of the tarps. I might be building a garage on account of selling my in laws properties where I have all my tools and ect. But I don’t know if I’ll be able to build one wide enough to fit my boat and trailer, due to township ordnance’s??? Will keep this in mind. Good idea!!!
  15. I know, I made a big mistake in my mind I was thinking 2 3/8” and 3 1/4” was a mag in the heat of the moment I made a dumb decision. I didn’t see your pm, I left the house at 10:am for a doc. Appt and didn’t get back till 3:30 pm, just bad timing, make matters worse I forgot my phone. Every 3 months I have what I call doctor day. I’m sorry but I can’t blame anyone else other than myself. Appreciate the thought put forth!!!
  16. Thanks I will contact the correct people to get further info. Thank you very much, one last question, do the do any work on the east side, be closer but I’d be willing to go wherever.??
  17. What is required of the person that goes on the vessel, I’d really like to experience this, but in my shoes I don’t want to be a hindrance. I can do most anything but bending and heavy lifting is out for me!!
  18. Welcome to the site firedome, what for boat are you looking to sell any pics, lots of guys one here looking for that size boat including me looking to get out of the inboards, as you can tell this so called spring is really etching the I/O’s out of my mind, here I sit with 2 boats both I/O’s can’t even think about getting them ready motor wise the next two weeks are looking bad, snow and freezing temps this late are killing me.
  19. I know, I made a big mistake in my mind I was thinking 2 3/8” and 3 1/4” was a mag in the heat of the moment I made a dumb decision!!
  20. OK I’ll tell you what I know. I talked to Nick in the fall of last year, I needed some lures done. He has done every lure I own. He didn’t return my texts. Finally I left a rather stern message and he told me that a awful thing happened to his shop. (I was asked to keep what happened under my hat) anyway things were supposed to be getting rebuilt and I asked about a month ago about doing my Lures we are getting close to eye season. He told me he didn’t know when he would be up and running?? So that’s where I left everything go, and searched other places to get things done. So I still have piles of lures bought in clear and glass in boxes. End of story.
  21. If they were anything other than mag spoons I’d have everyone of those spoons, nick “was” “is” one of the best lure painters ever!! Those won’t take long to sell, damn it if they were anything but mags!!
