FISHINMAN

Pops, a friend of mine was out Friday am and saw at least a dozen fish caught not including his coho. Gamblers report looked good from Sandy on the 19th. I unfortunately didn't get out on Friday morn at Sandy like I wanted to. Shooting for Monday and or Tuesday

Brian, thanks for the report I am going out in AM on Friday. Nice job on the laker hopefully you drowned it Brian I have the aluminum Sea Nympth machine going out pretty lite should I worry?

Mike nice report I am glad to here they are still there. Gonna try to get out Friday morning

I was out there too on Monday and managed 3 kings up to 20# and 1 lost big king (not me Ray!). The usual river setup, silver/bloody nose and green/black ladder back J's with leads from 80ft to 10ft and depths from 5ft to 14ft. Slower seemed better. Longline nice to finally put a face to ya Jax had the radio on scan I think :?

Try a boat, rods, reels, line, lures and some beer :shock: . That's pushing it, a little late but you should get some browns, bows and cohos. At least it will be to cold for the "buff" thank god

Going out in the AM and it's been a while. Thinking of hitting Sandy creek or the mighty Genny (for old time sake). Can anybody tell me what the combat fishing been like in front of the river?

Doesn't really matter

Well, well, well, lookie what I found out. From what I hear the Yankee troller again cashed in during a tournament with a fish that was caught the one day Jax was on his boat again :? :shock: Maybe he's the one we should congratulate. Rick maybe you should take him on your next bass tourney trip

Nice job Pat . Is Cindy letting you hear about it over and over

I have a question. Is there no walleye division in the fall LOC? I looked at the leader board tonight and none weighed in :? Congrats to Yankee Troller for his 9th place fish on his boat

Tom nice fish and you always have nice photos of the lake Tim are you really a meteorologist? If so I have a question for ya. Why the heck do meteorologist (if in fact you are one) spend half of the time on TV telling everyone what the weather WAS all day when we can't go back and do our day over anyways? Who the heck cares why the weather was like it was, once it's over with :? ? Spend more time telling us what the weather will be the rest of the day and upcoming week.

Gambler aka Laker Man you gonna be out on Monday at all? I plan a long day with the Mrs. fishing :shock: :? :roll:

I'm guessin Jax :shock: Hope to get out this week (it's been awhile) new brakes on the Trailblazer ($500) and found oil under the boat motor :shock: so that went to Mike Mobile marine today for new seals in the lower unit and water pump. Hey it's only money and who needs that right Ray? Hope to have it back on Wednesday :!:

Brian, should have been lake trout :shock:

I'll leave that alone :shock:

Nick, prime rib we do medium rare for banquets and would accommodate you if that is what you wanted :shock:

Nick, first off I am a 45 year old MAN! You haven't a clue as to what went on and the run around I got. It has nothing to do with the "free" stuff . It's the offer that matters to me. I can't even tell you how many times I have taken people out in my boat and they offer me $$ for gas and I tell them keep it! It has everything to do with the fact that when I called them (which I did a few times) and got responses that seemed like they had no idea what I had even ordered. Then I get down there and it's more of the same thing like I had ordered something from another world. They didn't get my order wrong, they got a depth raider in for someone else and she called me and told me I have "YOUR" probe and cable in my hand. She should have known what I ordered and checked to make sure that the order was complete before calling me to get it. I understand that it was an honest mistake on her part, she seemed like a nice enough person. The difference here is that if you drove 50 miles for that steak you aren't having to drive 50 miles back, then given your re-cooked steak a couple of weeks later or told it MIGHT be in then IF THEY HAVE ONE! If you are not happy with your steak even if you ate part of it, I take it off your check no questions asked and I try to go to your table and talk to you to find out what the problem was with the steak so that I can fix the problem. I do all the ordering for the restaurant and deal with distributors nearly everyday from here to Hawaii and they make mistakes I realize, but you guys all seem to think it was the distributors fault and it wasn't. Jim should have checked with the person he orders from when I called about it 2 weeks after I ordered it to find out if he did order the probe for sure in the first place and when the probe would be in, then gotten back to me with a answer. None of that happened as far as I am concerned until that day. Brian that's a little obvious :shock: :roll: Enough on this. I am moving on and will order a new probe next year since it's a little late for it now anyways. I also for the record think he has a AWESOME tackle shop and wish it was up here in Rochester. P.S I don't cook steaks that are ordered rare, medium! Jax maybe me never :!:

Bob :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Tom (Atomic) I understand more than most people about all of what goes on with dealing with the public consumers being in the restaurant business for 29 years, but it seemed as though nobody had a clue at all as to what I had even ordered to begin with. It all seemed unorganized even when I went there to pick it up. Jim did seem like a very nice gentlemen and that is far from what I meant with all this, but him knowing I had already traveled over 50 miles just to get there I would expect a little more than OOPS I AM SORRY or let me have them send it right to you if they can. Like I said before we go out of our way to make sure that a customer at our restaurant that has had a problem gets compensated with a drink, dessert, something or we have gone as far as to send them a gift certificate for dinner in the past (Ray don't get any ideas about coming in and complaining for a freebee now :shock: ) As it turns out his girlfriend/wife/fiance whomever is actually the sister to our events coordinators boyfriend at the restaurant who is the ex-wife of Tom that owns Capt. Jacks across the street:? :? :? HMMMMMMM.... I sent you a PM Tom B (longline) I had already purchased one from Duane (whom I agree is a good guy) for $172 but I was going to be saving $40 that I wanted to use on some wanted/needed tackle at Abes. Last I looked the new house that is 3 times as expensive as my old house plus 3+ times the taxes and 35 miles further from the lake had a lot in it, but there was no money tree growing in the front yard Ray don't make me come after you like your a raccoon in the road at 4am

So I order a new probe for my sub troll and a spool of coated cable over 4 weeks ago from Abes tackle in Sodus. First off they tell me that it would be in in about a week and a half because they had just gotten in a shipment. I said that's fine. He said it would be $120 plus the $10 shipping and I said that's great!! I'm saving like $40. I wait 2 weeks and call there and find out it's not in yet (keep in mind that I asked to be contacted when it came in) I then call back again a few days later and find out that it's still not in. Last week I call again and ask and they say that it didn't come in but that a whole sub troll unit that somebody else had ordered had come in along with a fish hawk unit. Still no probe. I then call and the lady tells me he won't be in until the next afternoon. I call back then and I am told it wasn't in but that he would check on it. The next day I get a call from the lady who says "I have your probe and coated cable in my hand" :shock: . I say great I will be out on Thursday to pick it up I drive 50 miles from my house in Chili out there today to get it and find out that it is not my probe but a Depth Raider Probe :shock: :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x Now he calls his guy to see if he has one and he tells me that this guy he buys from won't have one until next week. So then I won't get it until the following week maybe :!: Well he asks me where I came from and I told him the other side of Rochester. Well what I got for that was " sorry about that, sorry about that" If you order another one I can ship it to you or maybe they can ship it right to you. I am thinking, great I drove an hour there and will drive another hour back at $3 a gallon and he doesn't even offer me some tackle or a gift card for $10 or $15. Nothing :x NOT A DAMN THING! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! At our restaurant we screw up we try to offer something, whether it's dessert a drink or if it was a really bad problem like if Jax cooked his food We offer a gift certificate of some sorts. But I get nothing but a OOPS SORRY! I was gonna save like $40 on the probe so I was gonna use that $$ on some tackle out there because the place is loaded with stuff I can't find in Rochester. I also called Jax to see if he wanted anything while I was out there and was gonna buy a him a few things he wanted, but at that point I wasn't gonna spend a cent in there :!: :!: GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE :!:

NOW NOW BOYS LETS PLAY NICELY :shock: YOUZ TWOZ IS SUPOOSED TO BE GOOMBAS. Everyone loses fish here and there, even the best of us do it if we didn't what fun would it be. I even lost one on Ray's boat the first time out with him :shock: OH WAIT THAT'S RIGHT HIS TWO OLD CIVIL WAR VETS BUDDIES COULDN'T KEEP THE BOAT STRAIGHT OR GET A LINE OUT OF THE WAY IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF "MINUTES" :roll: Billy I did hear that Jeremy pours a nice Pepsi while you fished though

Can't get on the site Ray :?: Maybe someone is trying to tell you something :shock:

HAPPY 50TH BUFFYDAY YOU OLE SOB! Hope the cake was good, the Mrs. probably used that slow acting arsenic :shock: We gonna do the LOC derby at all together :?:
