Yes, quite the article in last night's FLT's about salt breaches into Seneca. Food for thought.

Good going guys.  I just got off Seneca, just 2 little guys 150 down.  (Nice to see that bimini top up, Les! 

I`m down to 3 turns on the hoist drum before I run out of cable and won`t be able to get out.  May put extra long cable on hoist for next spring.  We need more rain!!

Damn. Up home (Interlaken) zero wind. Got to camp, it's capping out here. Too much for a rookie. Maybe tomorrow.

Uh oh.  Brother-in -law is here from Iowa.  Taking him out in AM  .  He isn`t a fisherman would like to get him into a couple of fish.  (Not sure they have any lakes in Iowa)....  Was going to head N of Sampson per Lakebound88`s last report.  We will see.  

Pick up location?

Hi Doug. Are these 2015 or 16 model year? If so, interested in one pair. Thanks. Hop

Yeah, back in my first life I had the string deal on my big hoist, way better.

Yeah, I may end up doing that. Been thinking about your method of entering from front. Hoist controls are towards lake, have been entering from back. Maybe removable planks so Tasha and Mrs. can get in the front. Will keep experimenting.😃

I have a board spanning between hoist legs. Didn't think about hanging a rope,good idea. Also have a 72lb. Senior canine that loves to boat, but not so easy mounting and dismounting. Somehow manage to get it done.

Hehehe, have limited funds to work with😉. Also have to pull hoist out in fall. Don't have pics, not sure I'd know how to post them here anyway.😭

That looks like a good idea  My trouble is stepping from my dock down into the boat.  The fishmaster is so much deeper than my last boat.  I have to step from the dock down onto the storage shelf in the boat, then onto a small st ool, then onto the floor.  Not the best or safest method, but haven't been able to find anything else.  Any suggestions appreciated!

Ed,  thinking of getting out this evening.  How are the weeds.  East  or West side?  Thanks.  Hop

Really nice fish, Bob.  You will be happy to know I have a brand spanking jigging rig all set and ready to go.  Another arrow for the quiver.  Now to find some time to try it out... 

Maybe you know, a fellow on J ere has a 15hp motor.do you think a fish MN aster t ransom would handle that (130lb), along with a90hp mercy? Motor would be set right on transom.

Glad you had a good shakedown.  Regarding the weephole, I had that problem for years.  Found out that in the fall spiders like to build nests in that small hole.  End of season I now put a piece of electric tape on outside of hole, haven't had a problem since.

Do you know the weight? (In pounds)😉thanks

Would sure like to hear at least the basic great ending of the story😃

A big congratulations to you, Les. 

A big congratulations to you, Les.  You can now shrug off the label "always a bridesmaid, never a bride." Although a smigen of luck was certainly a factor, by far your first place trout was the result of experience, knowledge, attention to detail, and tenacity.  Well deserved, very happy for you and Mark.  Hop.

The guy that did my dock work is local on your side and told me he will also do ice removal over the winter . Bob Champion....out of Lodi  

Yes, I know Bob.  I believe he builds hoists called "Well built hoists".  Didn't t know he will remove hoists for winter.  Thanks.
