I spoke with Bear today - its a "no go"

Just curious, what were his thoughts/reasoning for coming to that decision?

Come on guys, can we rally some energy to convince Bear to hold the spring derby?!?!
We could all use some extra fun and we can still social distance at the weigh station.
The NLTD is still on for Memorial Day weekend.

Is the B & B spring derby happening?  Hope so!

Wow, that's massive.  Congrats!  North or south end?

It's a rainbow.  100%

Pike on the south end too.

Like Mike said ramps are open so this is no longer an issue however it's the country I love too. Myself and many others wouldn't be too coward to stand up for something we believe in. Especially if it hurts literally no one!

I appreciated your initial post Bob stepping up and you're right Cuomo took it too far closing boat ramps.  I'm glad he quickly turned that around. I think everyone's trying to navigate the best decisions they can through a situation that hasn't been seen in a century.  Fishing will help keep us afloat in many ways through it.

Here's a couple of nice pike I caught over the past few weeks on Cayuga's south end.  These were the first pike I've ever caught in the Finger Lakes.  I was targeting trout, and these toothy critters showed up.  Both 32", very healthy and released.

This site is more fun when guys talk fishing.  The ramps are open, quit complaining and get off yr asses and go fishing.

Ah, I see now they only make this model in a 15" short shaft.  On the 3.5 they offer 15" and 20".  I can only use a 20" on my boat.  Good luck with the sale.

Long or short shaft?

I'm sure it'll depend on which officer you're dealing with.  This undersheriff had pretty lenient statements, but I wouldn't bet on his friendliness from others.  

statement from a Jefferson County Undersheriff:
“If we get a complaint, the first thing we’ll look to do is education and try to gain voluntary compliance,” he said. “Everyone’s intentions are in the right place but in some cases (they’re not considering the consequences).”
“Say if a couple (that lives together) launches a boat by themselves, I don’t see a COVID-19 violation there,” he said.

I drove by the launch on Thursday and it was open

T Falls and Treman were open the last few days too, but then they both closed yesterday.

Both Treman and T Falls boat ramps on Cayuga remain open so far.  I called Treman a day ago, and they said it could change but right now they're open.

Conservatively 6lb, we lost a true monster behind the boat 10+ LL.
Female loaded with dead (loose) eggs, quite skinny really.

Great fish!  Exciting.  I lost a 10 pounder back in November, halfway in the net snapped the line.  
Man, the fish were really hitting Sunday.  I had a few other rips, I knew good fish.

beauty!  what was the weight on that LL?

I landed 3 LL to 4.5 lbs, 2 browns, 1 laker Sunday afternoon.  Aggressive fish that day.

I'll take the 4 "Assorted producer spoons".  Sending a PM

This order came from Cuomo. what I heard its only good till April 29. after this date it could get extended for another month if we can't get an handle on the virus. I heard if we don't comply we could pay up to a 10 thousand dollar fine. this new order is going to far. Cuomo got all the state parks shut down too till April 29. I think this BS will go on till June.

That's incorrect.  State Parks are generally open.  Certain parts of the parks like the playgrounds and camping are closed.  It's tricky to decipher exactly what's closed and open.

Taughannock Falls State Park just posted this on their Facebook page:

SOME PEOPLE WORK FOR A LIVING. BIG FISH FRIDAY.

That's why I mentioned afternoon into the evening.  Just an idea.  But yeah, I forgot about BFF.

NOT ON A WEEK DAY

But that's the one weekday, tons of fisherman are in the area.  Way more than any other weekend.

Friday, May 22 afternoon/evening would be a pretty opportune time to do it, the day before the NLTD kicks off.

Highly recommend!  Love the one I ordered!  Perfect size.  Thanks.
