Boy what happend to the old days when a nice roadhunting trip brought home meat instead of a ticket.

bummer for me not to get him the kid holding the deer was a neighbor (kinda wild kid) It was shot about 300 yds from me sunday morning passing 3 texasbullseyes on him is 2nd guessing not taking the shot....oh well now i gotta focus on the little 10 pt ive been seeing in bow season ,the 10 pt is a nice deer too but i really put a lot of time in on this one and you can see why , they say it will go 170 to 180 but i havent got to see it up close yet (outa the woods) this deer let me get within 20 yds 3 times in 2 years before putting it in 4 wheel drive through the brush giving me that 1 sec rear flag, 1 jump and he was outa site ,guess thats how he got so big,who knows how many times he let omganothershortfatbaldone (bald eagle) pass by...ill try to get some better pics and measurement info from the guy who got it........

Sliderbite we need a update i belive.

copper from atomic is marked every 100 ft (stuff i have)

Well dude its happened again and thats a good thing ! Hope work goes well, coffee breaks are long,keyboard is hot,and food is great! Hava good un vic....Hank I think i see a bug in here.

man the last time i checked it wa over 10.00 a inch for the reps.. if ya got some good pics a good graphics shop might be able to make a good quality lifesize print then frame it ..but the reps would be cool.

Give pops a pole and reel to work with that aught to get him going ... Good news to hear!!

HB ,for some of us its a 100mile plus ride to the pond. 10mpg towing=20 gal,plus trolling and running to the hotspot gas. so to come home with a fish or two is the bonus. Fishing is a good time but reeling em in is a great time thats why we do it too.I could go to the local fish market and buy a lot of lobster for the price of one trip...................hey if i do that the there would be one less boater complaining about the beautiful fans on the lake. P.S. sometimes negativity thrives on negativity..............now put a smile on your face ,let go of that tree,enjoy a beautiful sunrise on the lake without turning blades,turn the ac up a bitand the heat down a bit,turn off unused lights,hang your clothes on a line,and shoot out everyother street light in your home town and we all can save the energy the old way........conserve.

Good job kid on yer first buck, but just remember the next time dad needs some help after he made you go to school instead of letting you help find your deer..OK kid step up to the keyboard and give us your version of how the hunt went...IE: "my dad was so nervus" he hit the gun as i pulled the trigger making me hit further back..

Thanks Jerry, nice sleigh you look a little slim in the pic did you loose a 100lbs ? Ya know i think a few of us on this site could save some gas if we shaved off some lbs. at the same time we could reduce the methane clouds above the lake during the pro/ams.............WWWW.lakeontariopro/ammethanelevelchart.phew...Thanks For The good wishes For the Christmas Season .....And My Thoughts and prayers to the "YANKEE TROLLER" family ,and all the others who go into the Family Holliday season with heavy hearts...God Blessed us with a Memory ability....Hey musky remember the day i sharted ,hada strip down hose off and change my clothes when you were driving? Boy you shure were looking forward and kept the boat straight that time( For once ) (or did you peek?) RAY K.

like 08 said powerpro is a good backer but if you add drop weights for that added depth ya better have a good gripper or it may fall off on a good fish. mono is ok if you have the reel capasity (i use pwr pro for that reason),the larger dia is good for drop weights and the "'stretch or give "" may help avoid a breakoff on a good fish,but thats what the drag is for.Also important with lead or copper is the pole selection i like a softer pole (med wght,.) so the ploe sorta surges with the waves giving the lure a added jigging action for that reaction strike. the mono will deaden that action some if you let out enuf after the lead ..another reason to use a braided line.......

been in the woods all day so i hope you had a happy birthday..

Hey musky rember the day they invented dirt ?? You were just a wee lad then.. me im 52 outside about 12 inside.

Nick ,think i got some pics to refresh the grey cells they might be black by now. Just talked to hank and convinced him that a dollar down and a dollar a year for the next 1799 years would repay the winning money about as fast as the national debt will be paid.

Ahem ,,still waiting for the check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks like it will score 110..............................volts

Bob ,first illegal hunting tags now arson ,boy someone messes with your steering and you go postal...

there be some smashers in them hills i spend a little time near 228 and havens rd , where abouts in odessa ,just curious if that could of been one of the smashers we saw pre season ? So ya just couldnt let it walk 1 more year ?? thats gonna cost ya some wallspace ,ok now the complete story when ya get some quite puter time.

Ill give ya some stories,map reading with "Muskybob",fishing bumpy water with "fisherman", How to fish a PRO/AM with 4 er um 3 rookies on board, Why does my copper rig keep getting shorter when newbies put it out ?, Should I make 90 deg turns with 600 ft copper out in 4 ft waves ??Whats speed got to do with it ? Why do i have to tell the driver guy to watch the speed unit 2 ft from his face from the back of the boat ??? Whats does that compass thingy do? Boy Its Hard to keep the boat straight while drinking coffee,smoking a ciggerate,eating cheetos,adjusting the radio,and talking on the cell phone,,,But if i bought a autopiolet id have to elimanate 1 crew and my share of the entry fee would go up... In my youth id experiance the turtle head syndrome just suck it in till i can get to a reststop,,,,,,,,Now its browntrout on a spawn run syndrome, the head sticks out and you better be near (10 sec. from) good spawing grounds or youll be very uncomfortable

Im on my way Tom hope you got some rest as we know when your sleepy you can get a little green ,,hey wait a min. when my wife takes dramine she gets sleepy!!!!! where you pulling my backhair when you say i didnt sleep well so i might be a tad sleepy when you were loaded up on dramine???

Hey dave been trying to run that 27 copper rig i saw in your mag. GREAT LAKES ANGLER ,,,,I now have 27 lbs of scrap copper in the bin,,and 27 hrs trying to untangle it. Now im back to bobbers and worms due to fustration,i hope your happy with yourself ,,,,Guess its ok to give a plug to the" Great Laker Anglers" magazine it has some pretty good ideas and tips for the beginners and some Interesting topics and new techniques for the seasoned fishermen ,and some good adds for( the impatent)...And Most of all thank you for your support and sponcership to the lake ontario PRO/AMS and i think the scotty,s too. (ps.. move the curser across the christmass lights and turn your vol. up first)

I used to drop stuff to 220 ft during the derbys thinking the "big one " was lurking there ..maybe he is but the 100ft ish seems to be the "hotter zone"

well it used to be ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now its gonna be a form of entertainment if, and it embarreses me to say (our goverment) decides to hold the trials in NYC ....or any city in our country... Now if you mess with me i can take just soo much ....mess with my family and my "protective instinc" will come out.......MESS WITH MY COUNTRY AND MY""" UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS "" training WILL COME OUT !!!! .. Its been 30 years sence the last time i Crewed a helocopter but i could fire one up for a special delivery to NYC. I would be Honerd to deliver the scums to NYC ,stop the "helo" at 500 ft above the world trade center site in a nice Hover and slowley lower them towards the ground on the rescue cable tho its only 150 ft long,hit the emergency cable cutter switch and complete the delivery ...To their "FAIR TRIAL"

salmon spoken like a pro....or a recently caught hunter.

I like the sound of the riggers too ,and the wind blowing through my hair (when i have my shirt off)
