  1. Thanks Tyler! It was a beauty Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. As Justin said...... if you spend enough time you will find tigers everywhere in the lake. What is most important is being prepared to handle them properly with a large rubber coated landing net, long handled pliers, and a good pair of cutters to cut hooks if needed. I'm not sure how much expirience you have with muskies but I wanted to throw that out there. Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions as I'm always ready to talk tigers. I'm sure the same goes for Justin. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  4. Thanks guys! If it wasn't for the Mark Troy Memorial and all of the guys that put that together we would never had made the drive to check out new waters. Now I'm hooked. We're looking forward to fishing the muskies inc. derby soon. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. It really depends on what approach I'm taking and the presentation desired. When I have a partner on the boat I will run 6 lines at otisco typically. 2 inline boards off each side and 2 down rods off the stern corners. I also sometimes use big jon otter boards to spread the lines. Both are effective but each have their pros and cons depending on the goal. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  7. Went back to Waneta Saturday. Brought my wife with me and she was able to catch her first pure. To put the icing on the cake it came on a bait that I had just painted. My first try at a perch paint job. Great memory thanks to Waneta Lake. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. I fished otisco Sunday. Launched at the campground and was barely able to leave the dock on battery power without dragging the stern through the muck. Fished 1.5hrs before a board rod went screaming. With 50 ft of line spooled off I saw the board start to dive, at this same time the hooked pulled out and I reeled in just a piece of flesh. Lesson learned to leave the drag alone. I'm sure by next weekend it will be to low for my 19ft spectrum. I'll be moving to new waters for the rest of fall. Good luck everyone.

  9. Great info Trevor. I will be sure to start checking for this. Good job noticing and thanks for taking the time to share. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. I fish there often for tigers. Casting on the north flats with some jerk baits or spinners should do the trick. A rubber coated net, long pliers, and a pair of hook cutters would be a good idea too. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Thanks Justin Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. Thank you very much BlueEye. A catch that won't be forgotten. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. Oh wow. Thank you for explaining that! It seems crazy to me that they would cut fins off of the fish. It seems like it has to have an affect on them for their entire life. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. Congrats to everyone that managed to find the big fish. Especially Capt Ed on that well deserved monster. It was nice to see a few of you guys at the launch but after that rain I was ready to head out. Thanks to Ed, Jim, Steve, and Bob for putting all the work in. And that stew!! I managed to stumble into one cripple muskie that was missing it's left pectoral fin. My first muskie ever actually. But after seeing what lurks in Waneta Lake it will surely not be my last.

  15. Let me know if you consider selling the rocket launcher please.
  16. Thank you for all you do Bob! It's very much appreciated by all.
  17. Sorry, I thought they were the vertical holders. I'll have to pass. Good luck with your sale.
  18. Ok thanks. Good luck with the sale. It looks like a fish catching machine to me.
  19. Would you sell the rocket launcher separate? If so how much would you need?
  20. Thanks John. For that area it was a great find. Let us know on here when your on Otisco and I'll keep an eye out for you. Looking forward to meeting you and having a chat.
  21. Congrats to the family on making a great memory and receiving a trophy to commemorate the day. I'm sure it will be appreciated many years to come. Thanks to Justin for posting his newly aquired knowledge, hopefully everyone uses it wisely. It's sad to see what this post has been turned into. I support both sides of the spectrum. To me it's all about respecting the fish AND other anglers.
  22. Welcome to LOU. Nice job on the win and kudos for donating your winnings.
  23. Sounds like a wasted trip aside from the view. Should have been on otisco! Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  24. Welcome to the forum. I fish otisco often and will more than likely see you at the launch or on the water. I have a LOU sticker on the starboard stern of my boat. Looking forward to meeting you. Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
