Frogger and crew congratulations on a well planned and executed derby. Well deserved. 

Gambler I would like to buy your outriggers but will be in Connecticut this weekend. Can I send you a check and figure out pickup later?

Good make boat at a good price but  a little too far to go.  Thanks, anyway.

Sending you a pm

Post office tells me you will get them Monday. 

I can send you 10 primers no charge. Would like to get postage back. Two or three years ago I sent a fellow on here an almost new left hand level wind reel no charge. Still waiting for the postage lol.

Congratulations to the young lady. A deer that will be remembered for a long time.  And for the fellow with the beauty of a buck, there is no doubt someone was looking over your shoulder when the moment occurred. Cherish it. 

Congrats young man. Great first deer. Many to come I'm sure. Be sure to thank your mentor. Be a safe hunter. 

Thank you big foot. Is there a place to donate to the trolling association for the help towards the lamprey barrier fund. Thanks. Hop.

Beauty. Congrats. Back in that poison ivy I  see. 

Hi, attempted to call you but number failed. Pm number please. 

Ah man don't demt an old man. 

Man you are just not catching the right person. Very fair price for superior quality dekes. If I was 40 years younger. Best of luck. 

Has anyone heard if the treatments were considered successful this year?

Yeah Waler big difference as far as I'm concerned. I know many disagree with me but I'm in total disagreement with the hour change. I am surrounded by wonderful Amish neighbors who hunt. unfortunately, I have witnessed some of the younger kids do some very unsafe things. Yes, I've spoken with their dads.  I will just conclude with saying that during gun i will be blowing my whistle until I am in my stand.

8 foot beam?

Tried to fish this morning but there were storms. Went out after but south west 20 plus. Dropped into 100 and put out three rods. After a few minutes I pulled, 3 to 5’s and solo just didn’t make sense so I went home. Couple hours later I decided to go for a ride near shore, too nice a day to stay home on my day off.
Passed Rosies marsh in 25 feet of water and was about to turn back when I saw a pontoon boat out in about 35 feet of water which made no sense to me, off Braddocks 35 feet of water is a long way from shore. Way too rough for that boat to be out there.
As I pulled closer I saw a hand waving at the stern holding onto the motor. Poor lady getting beat up by the waves and her boat, no life jacket and nobody else on board. She kept going under and coming up spitting water. It was really spooky. Her husband had tried to swim to shore and he had on a PFD from what she said. Thankfully I was able to tie up to her boat and decided to try to pull her up at the stern. She was a large woman and older and I was scared for her.
Thankfully adrenaline kicked in and I was able to pull her up between the motor and the stern. “You’re f,,king strong” she said which made us both laugh. I was trying to figure out how to get her on the boat when the Coast Guard and the Lake Shore rescue boats showed up. I was so relieved. Sure enough my buddy Rick was on the Lake Shore boat.
Would have been tough without their help, they risk their lives every day to help others. In a day and age where first responders are vilified, people should take the time to thank these people.
My thin Red Line and Thin Blue line stickers will continue to adorn my rear window on my truck. These people are the heroes. I was just blessed to be in the right place at the right time.

But for the grace of God, a keen eye, good heart and strong arms that woman will sleep well tonight.

Oh man I'm still laughing!!

No laughing from this corner my friend. Many vics still in use on the fingers catching lakers. Back in the day my Dad and his sidekick Pete Rogers couldn't afford one so used a box with lead core and 5 spoons and rowed off Willard.  Mainly Suttons cause they were the lightest at the time. Dad saw a 28 pounder come in to Willard one evening. Course this was before the damn lampreys were introduced.  Good memories. 

Hey Fishsticks, I could only find 6 of the beaded chain with the clevis. I  myself never used them but my Dad did. Going out in tomorrow s mail along with a couple old pine valley spoons that used to be killer for fall rainbow. Just don't tell Les, he'll be jealous. Tight lines.

Looking for the beaded chain with the tag as pictured below.  I purchased these at Wildmans in Ithaca years ago. I can not find them now. Use these on Seth Green rigs to attach leaders.They worked great you could wind them up on the reel. If someone has a better way please let me know. These may not be available anymore. Thanks    

Fishstix I  think I have some up in my barn that I don't need with the tags you can have. Pm your address and I'll send you some. How many do you need. 

A rare opportunity for a young guy/gal starting out.

Hey no sweat, was trying to figure how to sneak them in without the missus spotting them anyway.  If he doesn't want them let me know. Thanks.
