    This forum will only fuel your addiction. You will also meet a lot of friendly people from both sides of the pond who share your passion for fishing.

    Nice healthy looking fish.

    Hope you are kind to the muskies when you encounter them and spread the word to others to do the same.

    I think the improvement projects are slated to commence this year.

    This was a last minuet scheduling. Sorry for such short notice. As with all our meetings, this is open to the public. Justin Okrepki, justtracytrolling, will be speaking at tonight's 7PM meeting at the Moose Lodge at 5375 West Henrietta Rd. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who is more knowledgeable about Otisco Lake. He practically lives, eats and sleeps on Otisco lake. Justin is arguably the most successful walleye angler on the lake but has also become very knowledgeable in regard to the tiger musky fishing on the lake over the years. If you want to learn how to successfully fish Otisco throughout the year, Justin will point you in the right direction. We will also be reporting the results of the Saturday's Tiger tournament on Otisco and will be drawing the winner for our Booze Basket Raffle (last chance to buy tickets) and making plans for the upcoming Chautauqua Musky Tournament on Sat. June 27th. With this year's revised meeting schedule, Tonight will be our last meeting until Mon Sept. 21st. Good luck to everyone this season. I will be looking forward to your reports on the LOU.

    My trailer is galvanized so there is no rust. With mine it is just that the spring holders are a weak point plus I think the boat was the max size for the trailer and I added the kicker and 2 more batteries. At one point I had custom springs made that were a little heftier than the original ones. I replaced the spring brackets once many years ago for the same problem. There are two points where they are prone to cracking due to stress. I had these reinforced a couple years ago by a welder. Had to leave boat at jojo's (because the axle was ready to fall out) and he took it to someone. The job he did wasn't what I has in mind and I was expecting them to crack again just where it did.

    What about enforcing the regs that are already in place. From what I hear, there are fishermen on Waneta Lake almost every day now fishing for muskies out of season. I have also been told that they target them through the ice there all winter long. I also hear plenty of reports of undersize fish being kept and exceeding creel limit. Or catching a limit, unloading them and going out for more.

    It is looking like I will not be able to go due to trailer problems. After replacing the side marker lights. I thought I would jack it up and check the wheel bearings and suspension. I found out that one of the spring brackets is cracked all the way through on the front side just behind where it is attached with the U bolt. So it flops down when I jack it up. I will take it to a welder tomorrow morning to see if he can repair it and if he has the time to do it.

    See you there Jay. Looks like the weather will be good. Hope the fish will cooperate.

    Statewide regulation for min size is 30" but Otisco Lake and Conesus Lake are 36". Problem is with the DEC enforcing the regulations. DEC Officers seem to be unconcerned about enforcing Esox regulations. As far as fishing regulations are concerned, they seem to concentrate their efforts on trout and licenses. At least now that there is no set date to renew licenses, maybe they will spend more effort in enforcing seasons, size and creel limits. Or is this just wishful thinking. Statewide size limit for purebred muskies is now 40" but I wonder how many will be violating that. All of us who care just need to do as much as we can to get people to comply and educate them as to the reasons why. FishermanUpstate, Did you tell the guy with 28 incher that it was under the legal size limit?

    old man will have to leave before the cookout so we will have to figure out where to keep the food til then. I was just wondering if anyone will have a cabin and be staying over till Sunday. Otherwise we will have to keep it in one of our trucks.
  12. muskiedreams
    Agreed. Run at or close to max. 35# is way too low and can cause sway problems and tires will wear excessively on edges.

    The NMA raffled this 5 foot Mr. Toothy lure at the Odyssey along with a 4 foot spinerbait made by Joe Wilczewski. Tony Galucci of Beaver Baits won it. And yes,those hooks are real hooks.

    Our 2014 Awards Banquet was held on April 18th 2015 at Keenan's Restaurant. Atendance was modest, the food was good and it was an overall good time. The raffle table was very good for the amount of people in attendance. The awards were given based on members entries in the Muskies Inc. Lunge Log. Dr. Dave Palo was the Men's Division Most Points with 408 total points for 41 fish caught and his largest fish was 49". Bridgett Palo won the Youth Division Award with 16 points for a 42.25" fish. Andy Lacko won the Big fish Award with a 55"er he caught on a Bondy Bait in the St Lawrence River. I can't figure out how to put pics in post. Can someone tell me how. I reduced them to 800x 600 Extif/JPEG and they pasted ok in the editor but didn't show up when published. Below is the best I can do.

    I would somehow want to find a way to make sure it is clean inside and a way to test it for leaks and overall integrity of the tank and entire fuel system. You might have to check and/or replace the fuel lines including vent tubes and fill tube. Also vent tubes should have valves in line to prevent overflow from vent tubes when filling tank.

    Wow Chad!! It must have been tough navigating, not knowing what might lie under the surface. Must have been a lot of snags too. Did the locals have the advantage? Otisco should be a piece of cake compared to that.

    I can only guess as to the head count. There was about 30 last year and I know there are several coming this year that didn't come last year but there could be others that came last year that won't be there this year. I am just guessing that there will be between 30 and 40.

    We will have a cookout at the campground after the tournament with hot dogs, sausage and burgers, courtesy of old man. Thanks Mike!!

    Mine is older. 1990 75hp 3cyl. I have dealt with many problems over the years but I am sure yours is a lot different than mine.
