Tyrrell

I assumed it was picked at by a bird.

I wish a had a better reference for size in the photo. It was somewhere around 36 inches though.

Saw this one in the Oswego river in 2020 down stream of the Phoenix launch.

Please post any updates on the Tournament here. I haven't registered yet, but I live 3 hours away so I am not sure how these rains have affected the lake.

                            Thanks

Can of spray paint and a lighter will get rid of them!!! Just make sure to have the line in your boat so you don't get any spray paint in the water before you light it.

I guess you don't have to be on the water to do some trolling!

Definitely a salmon. 

I was wondering what the smallest other people had got would be. That is impressive!

Those vertical lines definitely stood out to me. The colors and patterns were much better in person, as per usual with most fish pictures.

   I felt the hit but I didn't feel anything reeling it up.

Launched out of Meyers for a few hours fishing wasn't good but I didn't get skunked!

Eventually found a lot of bait but didn't hook anything around it.

I totally agree, At least 40 would be nice. People don't like to hear the preaching but it is more about the mentality of the fisherman than the law. I have a strong feeling more fish under 36 inches are kept on Otisco than over.

The more time you spend fishing for the Tigers the more you understand what goes into them and how much you have to work for a true trophy sized fish. Catching the high numbers of 30 inchers is fun, but knowing the potential it would be nice to see a lot more of those fish continue to grow!

I have put the Assult stick to use for a few weeks now and I really like it. I planned to use it just for bigger lures mostly at Waneta and use my St. Croix Premire as my go to Otisco rod. 

 I have found that for what ever reason with the same line/reel that the Assault stick which is rated for 3 to 10 oz. Will throw small lighter baits farther and with much less backlash.

  Not sure why? It is 6 inches longer but it'shard to believe that would make as much difference as it does.

I have a friend who would catch massive Browns all night at Miliken in the spring. Several to many over 10 pounds a night. That was about 15 years ago at this point.

Out casting for Tigers today saw a flash under my lure so I started a figure of 8 and this 24inch Walleye hammered my glide bait just under the surface!

Nice fish!

Looking at the picture again just the tail looks thin compared to the front half. Really nice fish I thought it looked over 30.

Wow! Did you measure that fish? It doesn't look thick but it definitely looks long.

I went out in my Kayak from the wells dock.

 The fishing was excellent though. For 4 trolling in 20 feet of water. Went 2 for 6 in 120.

Ha! That's about how long I deliberate over buying baits. I'll have 20 baits in my cart at TRO for a month. Just look at them every couple of days. Then I finally decide I'm gonna pull the trigger and get it down to maybe 10 and place the order. Great service from TRO and MTO.

 

The Whiskey Walleye is a beautiful pattern. Love that orange belly.

 

How do you like the 2020 Assault Stick? I was thinking of getting one of the original Shock & Awes for throwing heavy baits but now am thinking about the 2020. Just wondering if it has the lightness and feel of a St. Croix since it has the price.

I took it out to cast a few times when I got it. But I haven't actually fished with it yet. 

 I might take it with me Saturday for fun, but I doubt I will be throwing anything big.

I have been considering getting the  .22 long whiskey walleye for a few weeks. I really like that color.

I have been eyeing the X-Rap Peto and Otus. Since last year.

   Those jointed Rapalas have caught me a lot of my bigger fish including the one in my profile pic.  Also had follows from some in Waneta that were bigger than any I have  caught there so far.

Tranx is awesome


Sent from my SM-G975U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
 

Looking forward to using it soon!

 Homemade bucktails and spinner baits and some of my Pike/Musky flies

Anyone interested in sharing pictures of baits you are excited to throw for the 2020 season?

I just got 2 Custom painted Narcan glide baits from My Addiction. I sent some pictures in and got exactly what I wanted back. 

 A few months a ago I ordered some show colors from Musky Innovations. I also bought a 2020 Assault Stick and  Tranx 400hg.

The first time I talked to you on Otisco I caught a Walleye on a fly right after you left. Still the only one I have ever caught after three years of fishing the lake 1 to 4 days a week. That being said I am never trying to Catch them.

  My goal this year is to build more confidence fishing deeper water.

I dont know who "drinks the kool Aid" but some of you definitely have Orange lips!
