I do not fish there, but as a general response, I've shot myself in the foot due to posting on here. There are many lurkers who don't do a thing to help others. Those people all a sudden show up and you don't have a clue who they are. Because of individuals like that, my forum posts are very limited.

Nothing wrong with lifting up your first fish for a quick pic! Especially in this cold water. Nice job.

How many anglers participated

Good luck to those participating. 

I had an Otter Cabin I just sold on here. Too heavy for me to drag. I even built a Smitty Sled but found it daunting especially in snow.

It is in good hands and will see a lot of use. Thanks again!

The Panoptix is a sick feature. However, not worth the money to me. The Quickdraw contours feature that the newer units have are way more useful to me.

The banquet isn't far away. I have a few things set aside.

Still for sale

Seems like those fish are slow growing compared to average growth of tigers. Way to go, maybe you should buy a lottery ticket!

Sry guys, I won't be making it. I was looking forward to fishing this event for the first time and meeting a few new faces. I'll be there for the MI69 event in November!

I have this unit for sale that I do not use. It only has the trolling motor mount for the transducer. I never got a transom mount when I bought the boat. $100 obo.

This is a great idea Mike! I will gladly contribute over the course of the winter months when things aren't so crazy. Thanks for bringing this up!

Wow! Way to go! Her first is bigger than many will ever catch! Nice job.

A 5/0 will most likely fit that bait well. I always have an assortment of hooks for the baits I use. In the event I cut hooks, which I do a lot, I replace the cut ones with new. Then I sharpen all hooks, even the new one I just put on.

Look at that. Everyone was throwing their weight around a couple days ago and now we are being civil and I think everyone has learned something from this thread, even though we ventured way off topic.

Everyone one of us has an opinion. I am a die hard tiger fisherman. I certainly have my thoughts on creating better fisheries, but I am only one person. The Dec does a great job managing our waters, but by all means if someone has an idea, let yourself be heard.

There is no doubt crazy high fishing pressure on Otisco. I don't fish it enough to really voice an opinion. But I have seen some very unsportsmanlike behavior almost every time I've been there.

In my opinion, if Otisco is to be a true trophy class muskie fishery and destination sought by many from far distances, well it sure could use better management. The ice angling pressure is insane and most people haven't got a clue as to properly handle these fish. It's nothing to go there and catch 8-10 fish a day. Do the math. That's a ton of mortality.

Thank you to everyone who chimed in and spike their opinion. It was worthwhile.
