Fatigue for me comes from a reel combo that out of balance (tip heavy) as far as speed ratio it would be related to the lures your going to use when I am using glide baits I prefer a low ratio to keep the presentation slow (when your drifting off you do not over power the bait) a spinner I like high speed (If you specis a 4-1 is about 24" to revoution and a 6-1 is 28-30") All my reels are left handed ( I am right handed) With todays reels you do not have to dump the magnetics I like revo and the diawa 300 series pretty resonable pricing I do have shamiano but do not use it much. trolling reels I like as fast as I can get

FK wrote The idea of allotted days would be a logistical and tracking nightmare on our end. Promo videos showing the proper way(s) to C&R the fish is a good idea, but there are already a ton and from what we've seen, anglers who are concerned will do it properly, others will not regardless what we do to promote it. these are just apart of the responsibility of running a tournament. you should talk to other tournament organizers. Larry would ,be a good place to start. look into how muskie ink run theirs this is not just a local tournament I think there maybe a need for more planing. the concerns here are legitimate.

there is an angler survey (year long) on conesus lake asking for target (bass walleye pike muskies ect) size # anglers and hours it will be interesting to see the results which I think will be way down from 5 -10 years ago no lake can take the presure that we are now putting on them it is going to get worse in the future try launching a boat on the weekend from 5am -7am at conesus

Flavia, Cattaragus County NY does not allow Ice fishing

I am with larry on this topic I fish coneus at least alot and over the years have seen the quality of the pike decrease the average size is down I think there is a call to increase the size limit on the harvest Just out of a ,point of interest what is the adminstration fee verses payout and if there is where is this money allocated As with muskie touraments I beleve it goes to bait fish funds ect.

you cannot compare trout and salmon in lake ontario (which is a put and take fisheries) to the pike in other water ways

! dogshy That area has a large amish population? I have witness over harvesting of steelhead on western NY tribs and Walleye on Chautauqua

final flight you should heed your own advice (Or misinformed sportsman ? Think .. Think .. Think. )

congrats!!!! killing it with the eels the water is getting awfull low looks down like 2 feet did you put in at the marina or campgrounds

upstate is that stringer hopefully the fish was long enough

Those gliders look like sea cows ??
