Congrats to you and your wife!

They dont fight any harder than when they are hooked in a fin.

the east wind forcasted should help temps in the next couple of days.

your cost is really based on coverage check out: http://www.charterlakes.com/ and http://www.unitedmarine.net/

Apples have almost no nutritional value to deer but they are still one of their favorite food sources

FISHIN AGAIN, I heard today that temp was down about 70' in 100-130 fow and the southern wind should help temps out alittle. We will be out all weekend so hopefully the fish are hungry!

check out Diawa Heartland rods. They are durable, fairly cheap, and they work great for wire setups.

Thanks guys! Im glad the fish held up. Its really is a great tourny.

happy birthday!

why is that guy waving to me at 65 mph? it took me a minute Mark but i figured it out.

Thanks guys now i just have to sweat it out for a few more days. Hope it holds up for us!

Do i get to shoot the one named after me???????????

Most people believe that dominate bucks are territorial but its simply not true. Bucks will fight to achieve dominance but that doesnt nessasarily mean that a lesser buck will be pushed out of an area. He will just be lower on the ladder and he will prove "his" dominance over lesser bucks. Bucks establish a pecking order by sheer force my so by body size than by antler size. Your "shooter buck pics" on your other post, all seem to be at least 3 year olds. Most bucks dont achieve inside spread beyond the ears till they are in their third set of antlers. The last pic in that post with the split brow tines i would guess to be at least 4 years old because along with points he also has some mass. Dont forget, all these bucks still have about a month more to grow!

1 1/2 year old bucks are actually programed to relocate to new home territory (many miles away) soon after they loose their velvet (september). Sometimes it takes an extra push from mom to let them know they are not welcome there anymore. Its the whitetails way of protecting against inbreeding and help with better genetic lines. Alot of 1 1/2 year old deer you get pics of youll never see once the season comes.

AM Fortunately my father in law and myself both had today off from work and decided to spend it derby fishing this morning. From the reports it sounded like everyone was working the inside water, fishing the bait and hooks, rather than temp. We set up just inside of 110 fow and found hooks and bait down 60-80' down. We quickly boated a steelhead and lost 3 others in a matter of 30 mins. Stinger glow gators and white double crush smartfish down 65-75' range attracted all the attention. We circled on our waypoints and boated a small king on a Stinger NBK 65' on a cheater off the riggers. On our third pass the 65' rigger fired, we were hooked into a major and he just about spooled us on his first run. We ended our morning boating 2 Kings, 2 Steelhead, 1 Laker, and dumping 4 others, working 100-140 fow. Officially 32#10oz in the Orleans County Derby. PM The family and I fished for about an hour tonight right at sunset. We fished 3 rigger rods 55', 65', and 77' down and managed 3 Kings with the biggest being 22#.

Can you hear me now?

Nice fish Scotty!

It doesnt matter if you use a swivel or not. I prefer to tie an overhand loop knot in my leaders just to make things quick and easy. It offers the advantages of being able to change out flies but with less hardware to worry about.

GillT, We didnt mark any bait out deep. Actually we had very few marks on the screen all day out there.

I had all the intensions in the world of running offshore first thing this morning but instead I stopped to take a look inside. In 85 fow we had bait clouds and big hooks so we set up and fished the warm water for an hour and never moved a rod. We quickly abandoned the inside water and started a north troll. On our way out we picked up a few fish but with nothing really showing on the screen, we continued north. 450-470 fow straight off the creek proved to be our best area of the day. The fish were 40- 80' down w/ 50-60' being the best target depth. Stinger glow gators on the 45', 50', and 60' on the riggers did most of the damage. 10 color leadcore pulling a red headed silver bullet and ten color leadcore pulling a purple NK nbk also took fish. The 350' copper pulling a white double crush Smartfish and an atommic ssw fly took an 11# Steelie and the 260' wire dipsey pulling a green double crush Smartfish pulling a lime green fly took a teenage king. We had a pretty consistant bite throughout the morning once we were in 330'+ and finished strong after a slow start. We ended up 14 for 17 with our catch dominated by Steelies topped with a few Kings and a 9# Brown.

Happy Bday!
