    Lamoka Lake Tournament?

    in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)

    Posted

    Does anyone know if this change would have had any affect on the results in any recent MI derbys? I have only fished a few in the last year as a member but I don't recall anyone in those derbys producing over three fish. I'm looking forward to attending some of these tourneys that present this concern in the coming season.
    My opinion is the opposite for what it's worth. I believe that we should only be scoring (let alone awarding prizes for) mature legal fish. In my opinion the process of CPR on legal "trophy" sized fish should be what we as a club want to promote and put in the spot light. As opposed to promoting and rewarding the unnecessary handling and photo taking of sub legal fish.
    I also think this change is one step towards the mindset that every angler deserves a trophy just for participating. When I go out and win a muskie tourney I'd like to know it's because I out fished every other angler that day. Not because of some handicap rule. (As in the golf scoring system.)
    These are just my thoughts and opinions. I'm am all for whatever change the club makes. Whether it lines up perfectly with my views isn't what's most important to me. We are all part of the club for the same reasons.

    John I have the autochart pro program for the ac live. You will want one of the autochart programs. Without that you can record and use only 8 hrs of recordings. This would be fine if your just trying to map a certain area and then erase it and start over someplace else.
    So far I haven't used the extra features that the pro program offers. But to me it's worth the extra 100 if your going to put the time in recording sonar and creating bottom hardness maps and such.
    Thid is a different process than recording data points w ac live.

    I have used the humminbird feature on my helix 10 for one season. After using this you will throw your navionics charts in the garbage. If your a troller you will immediately see the advantages. For your casting you will have to spend a little more time charting, but it also has it's advantages.
    After you have spent some time generating your chart of a body of water I have found that when coupled with your side imaging graph it enables you to really nail down prime holding spots for whatever species your targeting. Money well spent in my opinion. Not to mention the fact that your now able to map bodies of water that previously had no chart. Have fun, your going to love it.

    I think the first paragraph that Steve wrote, and the first comment John made say it all.

    The best way to protect the fishery is propper release technics and educating instead of bashing the guys that don't do it how we all know it should be done.

    I think if everyone thinks back to the beginning of their muskie days they will remember things they also may have done wrong. Chances are someone put the idea of doing it right into their head and that's what started them on the correct path to protect the fisheries they love. That is usually all it takes to change an anglers technic for the better, a friendly hint of how to do what's best for the fish. The power off suggestion will go much farther than the other ways in my opinion.
