He is adding the money to the salmon division. Which more money is good. You look at the Rochester area and there are 1 or 2 kings that place in the fall derby. Lakers and browns make up the difference. You have upwellings that screw up the king, steelhead and brown fishing and charters / rec fishermen are left to fish lakers. How many charter clients are going to enter a derby when they go out on one of these days and fish lake trout that are not even in the derby? I bet they will not bother signing up the next time. Look what a format change did to the Pro Ams. Not a smart move. This will knock more people out of the LOC than it will add to the derby.

I heard from at the awards ceremony last fall that it was because the same people win over and over again (Keldgys, Yablonski, ect). If he wanted to protect the species, the spring would be the first to go. There are usually 10 - 15 20+ lbers killed during the spring derby from the bar. The lake trout population is not hurting in the least bit. The numbers of lake trout are climbing back up there. Our catch rates have been climbing the past couple seasons.

What is Dave thinking? I heard rumblings last year that the same guys win it all the time. Complete BS. You are going to punish guys that target and succeed fishing a certain species? Also he is taking 20 chances to place in the derby away from entrants! Voice your opinion to Dave Chilson - [email protected]

I'm ready for the start of the 2013 season after the epic season of 2012. I have already preparing for the season. All new leaders are tied, new custom lakers rigs made, some stuff has been purchased and the new engine will be started soon. I love to ice fish but I can do without if the fishing is like last summer.

I can't wait.

If my crew needed that ditch bag, we would starve. I do not see any venison jerky or Dunkin Doughtnuts! If you are worried about water, look into these new water treatment packets. You put them in a bottle of water and let them sit and the water will be safe to drink after so many hours. I will get the name of them and post it. I am going to get a couple for my boat.

In Monroe County the law must be $1.00 over the inland gas stations!

Happy Birthday Vic. I hope your b-day is a good one.

I thought we should bring this thread back to the top of the pile again. Hey Pete, do you have any fingernails left?

I will get some up tomorrow.

Reeds sporting goods had a sale on them a month ago. Check their site. It was the cheapest price I could find anywhere.

Nice buck. Lets hear the story of how the hunt unfolded.

I have switched over all my sealines to saltists. The drags are super smooth and adjust way better than any other reel on the market.

Order a new handle from Tuna toms reel repair.

I looked yesterday after work because I could see a lot of sand from the parkway. Not good! The ponds are going to be shot too. Oh well. THeres always the Finger lakes!

HAppy Birthday Jerry. I hope it is a good one.

Keith, I have to work that day but I would still like to send a donation. I will give you a shout.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Offshore will have more of a consistant bite.

Congrats John.
