Charlie P

Welcome I'm from Vestal ny Fished a lot up there, mostly oak orchard now.

My name is Charlie and what happens 10 miles out stays 10 miles out, looking for fishing buddies.😋🤗🙄😱😁

Having a rigger go off and finding out it's a Laker is the same as when they turn the lights on at closing time and the 10 you've been hitting on turns out to be a 5.

I sent my opinion to the DEC today. 

My question for the guys that have been dealing with this longer then I have, do they ever decide to not go with proposed regulations? Or is this like when you try and "debate" something with your wife?

 The pens are owned by the Oak Pen Rearing Group and all decisions as far as how they are used are made by consensus of the group, not me alone.

Thanks for the clarification. Had a feeling that was what it was. King Davy made it sound like it was your decision.

Well if Bob doesn't want to loan his net for steelhead for Sandy why don't the folks that want to stock steelhead make their own or get TU to donate one? It's his net right? Is it his personal property or not? 

I went with Scotty's happy with the desicion.

the memories we have of our "adventures" and times out there with our friends and family are what really count....something never to be taken for granted.

You just said it better than I could. Thanks.

That's great!

John, I've seen 2 neurosurgeons about this .Thanks for your concern.  It's time. This surgeon isn't a cut first type of guy. Things that are happening now are really not good, not talking pain.

Well it was over. Ended up at the University of Rochester neurosurgery happy I left my area. Did physical therapy cortisone injections etc with no relief. Over the last couple weeks things have been really bad. Surgery is scheduled for 9/25. Along with the other issues I have a cyst in the spine. They have to remove hardware from the triple fusion to remove the cyst and do 2 laminectomies. Don't want to have more surgery but at this point I can barely stand up or walk. 

I feel bad for the Salmon because I'll be back with a vengeance next season. 

Just finished the course and test honestly, you got to be kidding me. I can see helping new boaters but I could have taken the test without reading the material, except for the PAC section, which I'm never going to do.

Very nice!

Ok thanks every one

I think im gonna bring some of my own cut bait and then pickup some when i get up there. Who knows maybe ill create my own secret weapon.

 

You never know.

I experimented with whiting filets last year and caught fish. Just had to cut them to size and brine them.

Why not just put a new one in? We left the key home one time went to an auto parts store and installed it in their parking lot.

Are they still bad?

Never had it happen always wondered the same thing. We did catch our own net one time buddy dropped it in a minute later the outside downrigger pops " net on" reeled it in and netted the fish we were fighting with it.

They boarded us last 4 of July week in Oak Orchard, they were professional and didn't even have to stop trolling.

You seeing a big difference in the herring and ballyhoo bite?

Nice to get rained out, better to be able to fish with your kids.

Love seeing kids fishing!

Bath salts

Love my Scotty downriggers.

Did you fish out of the Oak couple seasons ago?
