man time flys just 60 years ago BIG DAVE was a little 18 lb baby(with a full beard ),,,KIETH was 6lb 4 oz keeper.,,and WALLYMAJIC was spawned in the gravel of a secret stream,he was nearly eaten by a male walleye so now he dedicates his life to catching and eating every walleye he can. Hava Great day Guys!!!!!

Hey I sell heating thingys in the corning area..

Way to go old fart er i mean timer.Im still looking for seagulls and have recoverd a few flys sench we fished "thanks"..have fun pearching and keep sharing your welth of fishing knowlage(like where the pearch are) ant nuttin cooler than grunting in a buck and having it pull togeather.

Good for you i can relate to someone er i mean something happing with the big ones...

OMG pete i just realized you were a holloween baby ,did your mama invent the phrase "TRICK or treat".......have fun

sorry about the spellin i ant never missed a leter befour maybe me will get a spelcheak for future post.

no... if your partner is inflatable she (or he) does not need a pfd ,but you do need a license for your partner to run 2 extra rods ..I got caught with 27 rods in the water and told the dec 25 were my partners ,so not being able to pay the fine she was sent to jail for 90 days patch kit and all. she has gained 40lbs and i think she is pregnat now. Were not talking and i might just pull the plug on her ,and look for a new friend ...PS ..more lines means more fish for shure we were pounding them that fatefull day.

Well the bow season for 09 has been a fun one. First as all us bow hunters know the pre shot can be the best time in the woods ,with all the action from chipmonks ,chick-a-dees,to the hawk that flew at me at eye level and landed 2 ft above my head. This year i saw a full sized martin the size of a big house cat (first for me),many racoons including a family of three marching to there den without a care in the world. I had the experience of rattling in a monster buck as we know they always go downwind ,this one came in grunting so we chatted till he smelled HUMAN , at 40 yds. I knew i could have this one if i played my cards right. So i made a mock scrape put down the doe pee and came back the next night. Well as the "witching hour" approached , a small 4pt comes out at 7 yds with a hanging front leg from trying to beat a car. As i watch him walk (limp) to 50 yds i make the decision not to let the dogs do there thing with him ,so i grunt and he spins his head around ,then continues to feed away (first jig) , so at 75 yds i grunt again and he whips his head around but keep the tail to me(second twitch), then at 100 yds i grunt the 3rd time and he turns his body (hookup). i slide the tube back in my jacket, clip on the release and in about 20 seconds he cant stand it no more and comes running right to the mock scrape and gives it a good sniffing at 10 yds . Then he continues looking for the grunter at 17 yds i decide to do "THE RIGHT THING" in a tenth of a second my arrow finds the lungs. But instead of going after it i go to the land owner and get his 16 year old son to "help me track the deer" .It was his first time tracking and he flew to his feet and beat me to the door. Well as we drove out the field my heart sank as a beautiful 10 pt was kicking the crap outa my new scrape and bounded away. Well i took the kid to the spot and the trailing began .. I showed him the splatter patten to tell direction,the kicked up leaves,and the foamy blood to confirm lung shot. as we trailed i also showed the little worms who always seem to find blood as fast as it drops.......Then WE find the trophy and i give him the light and show him his "first field dressing job" i did the instructions starting from placing a small piece of greenery(grass or pine) in the deers moulth and thank God for this deer and give its spirit its last meal (old indian tradition taught me 40 years ago). Then after finished we check out the stomach contents to see what it was eating (corn "yes" and of course grass and acorns).Then i expane every thing from them little blood eating worms ,coons,scavangers,and finally the crows picking the stomach will benifit from this deers life....or death. The kid said that was the coolest thing hes done in a long time and thanked me many times.. So I know i did "THE RIGHT THING" and 2 familys will enjoy the meat from this "trophy" buck . and im freed up to get more work done before my trip to Indiana for my BIG rack trophy...Be safe ,sucessful,and maybe the trophy of a lifetime for you will have a few less points than expected...................................

dont belive bringly , sea ducks are very simular to regular ducks they are hard workers that have snuck across the mexican border.they dont speek english well so they dont go quack when they hear a call ,the best they can to is answer ,....see,see,see,,..............any other questions you better send my way..for the right answer. Ray K.

nightcrawlers after a rain when its a little muddy,or salted minnows with tiny weight sorta jig it along bottom just inches at a time then stop for 20 30 sec then twitch again(when its clear) and enjoy the show....just release them less you get the big one for mounting there good breeders....

sOME GUYS WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A GOOD SERMON.... glad alls well with another LOU. family member. Were all here for a reason and your post may have saved anothers life....After a farting accedent last year i always bring extra clothes (well at least undies)... If you got the guys names give em the LOU site info so we all can tell them how much there actions are appreaceated ...Thanks. Ray K.

I hear their hitting CLAMS real hardly. Shudda brought the worms. Wish i could come down to play (and return the pink towel).. Rod im thinking of doing a cape cod trip next june they say 40 in is the norm. Nuttin in stone yet but after what i lernt last aug.from a commercial fisherman it sounds like another "bucket list trip" ..and if the ocean ant to bumpy a 10 mile run will put you in tuna water...or a troll past the clothing optianal beach might end a nice trip...(NOT THE ONE IN "P" TOWN)

nice fish i love the color on some of those fall browns...

ok "web fisherman","watergremlin",and last but not leas........yea he is last "on the lam" yer all cranking over another year. As always I thank The Men and Women in uniform everyday you lay your life on the line ,more often to protect the crinimals or send into the revolving door,but you get a few along the way .....THANK YOU !!!!! W F and,WG, never met ya but someday youll have the missfortion to shake my hand I hope at one of the PRO AMS...or Scotty's ..So you all have a great year,safe year,and live everyday to its fullest (before it gets taxed)... Thanks for the reports too.

notta yet,but on thursday from corning to bowling green ohio we saw 1 dead dear along the route,,,,,,on sunday we (I) saw 14 dead deer on the trip home (same route) 11 had horns (2 massive bucks) so there getting ready......

thanks "trackers" and dad nice story too....looks like it was a tuff trail job..

Hey its a little early for gun season,tell the boy nice job (and daughter)..Ive got a few pics with the kids when they were that age, my son turned 20 yesterday , and it seems like just a few days ago they were that size .You know all to well how tuff it is to get such a buck consider getting a tanning kit (or have the hide tanned ) and have a gift made for each kid (you too) of a small pouch or bag ..What a great deer (they all are) to get with a bow ..now that you got a little time on your hands howabout the rest of the story we all love a good deer story as well as a good fishing tale....please....(and what did it score?) i might guess 126 to134

Im not telling its a secret ,Tim the little weight thingy on the bottom might be a clue as to what side it goes out on ....Boy im glad ive never put them out on the wrong side before .....well maybe once but im not telling. ok,ok black and purple but not the chrome bottom purple ..

if its a male skunk it will spook the deer if its a female the spray will bring in the biggest buck you ever saw,just run right up behind it and lift its tail and check first.

Ok this site is getting sooooooo big maybe were gonna have to do a birthday week. Im getting sick and tired of posting well wishes to each member who let there birthday date out.... plus with the time of year many of us dont get here as often as middle of fishing season so we might miss a chance at poking a little fun at our fellow members. Also a face to go with the birthday boys or girls would be nice so we know who were bashing or well wishing..(maybe a close friend couldpost a good( ) pic ) kinda like Capt.Bills pic after doing his boat (his story..... I think he was lighting farts ..see how this can work) so to all the birthday folks this week hava great day and watch your back or YOU might be the next Hottest Birthday PIc... Ray K.

If you know anyone with a farm maybe you can buy your own chicks and release ...1 lure 5.00= 2 chicks,1 trip to rochester60.00 gas=almost 30 chicks.....but hey imjusta plummer.(then you can invite your friends over to hunt HINT,HINT)

Dear Sir, Happy birthday! Hope you get everything you wished for. New Hair brush? Comb? Shampoo with body? opps sorry .. . OK a washcloth and matching pink towel.......oh wait you have the towel already...Hava Great Day Rod.. Ray K.

Sorry about your loss.................money....... if ya got a outboard feb and march warmer days out of watkins will blow you away should take about 1 hour to get a 4 man limit with 2 rods on the right day..... The beauty of this site is the sharing of info and meeting new friends who share the love of fishing..start thinking about the pro/ams for next year . Go at it with a positive attitude but always be prepared to get spanked.The Wilson "scotty" was cool tho the wind made it challanging to say the least. Some of the folks ive meet in the last 3 years have been great even that old fart fenceman who bashed the crap outa me for telling the truth.thanks for the thanks ...

hey that looks like a boiler cleaning tan,guess you wont be whining about a little tree sap after that job..

Hey,dont you go anywhere ,we got a hunting section here too! o you wear the same shorts?
