My dad was a fair weather fisherman back in the day and took me out occasionally as a kid. My grandfather passed before I was old enough to really know him but he had a library of fishing books that I read in the study every time we visited my grandma. I literally took notes and kept them in a show box along with notes from fishing shows. I did this for about 12 years until I got my drivers license and am now a fishing addict of about 25 years and am about to pick up bow hunting as well. I am proof it can definitely skip a generation.

Looking forward to try trolling Otisco again this year Justin, hopefully with better luck than last year. I did very well casting, by my standards, for muskies and 'eyes but could only get smallies while trolling. 39" I think was my biggest last year, hoping to pull one up from the deep-water this year.

The bass are hitting as of this past Sunday.... -
Been scouting out in my woods behind the house. So far 2 nice Toms have come out into the field looking for me after some box calling. Sunday will be my first bow hunting experience ever and also first time hunting anything other than waterfowl about 8 years ago. Looking forward to it

New to Board...Wind Speed/Wave Conditions
greenhornet73 replied to Troutgod's topic in Open Lake Discussion
In my kayak I go out if the wind is under 8 mph from the North. 10 mph is pretty bumpy but a couple dramamine keeps it all down....usually. -
I haven't been up there in 2 weeks but fish were being caught the last 2 trips I was out. Watch the wind direction and for stained water

I have always given 80-100 with 4 clients aboard

After debating whether or not planer boards would help my trolling efforts in the kayak to keep my lines from crossing I decided to build my own out of an $0.88 walmart cutting board and a broken aluminum arrow and this was the result. The pencil lead across the bottom needed to be added to keep the keel down. Worked great last week and is only 6" x4". We'll see how well it pulls deep diver's in the future but for small sticks I'm very happy with the set that cost me $14 for a set of 2.

42 and 43 in most spots but a small area was 45 where I got this one right in the middle of a very dark mud line in 6' of water. I thought it was snagged at first when my rod tip bent to the back of the kayak then saw the head shaking it so I paddle hard a few strokes to set the hook and grabbed the rod.

Woohoo finally landed my first brown of the year and it was a beaut. Probably in the 12# range and dragged me around in my kayak for about 10 mins before I could get the net on it. Snapped a few blind pics of it one handed before letting it go, sorry this was the best pic I got. Had one other whack on the same lure but besides that no other action but had a nice mudline to follow thanks to a northeast wind.
