Tall Tails

I have a storage unit/tackle room that i rent ten minutes from the boat cause it all wont fit...I may have a problem... [ Post made via Android ]

I have been told by the DEC they have a fudge factor in place for the percent they believe was not called in...

Nailed it! This should be mandatory reading for all newbies! Well done!

Had the pleasure of fishing on this boat yesterday! It will make somebody a very sweet ride!

With the Blood run it is a smaller diameter but it weighs more per foot so that combined with the diameter it has a greater sink rate. I figure its about 10 more feet.

That sucks!!! In Oswego at wrights landing we spend 30 minutes putting all equipment away cant take any chances anymore. Hope you find the thieves.

Probably the first intelligent thing you have posted on this board!

They operate out of the region 7 office. Dave Lemon is the Boss.

Large Males always show up first in the Eastern Basin. Just a trend that has always occured! The ladys are always a little later!

I call that Natural Selection! Catch them before they breed!

Congrads Awesome Fish!

I just hung up with Dan Bishop at the reg 7 office he is Dave Lemons Boss. Anyway the plan is to hold the water at 185 till mid sept then increase it to 385 which is enough to bring the fish up for the egg take in October. They are considering closing the Lower Fly section of the river like in 2007. One thing they are banking on that maybe different is the number of fish returning should be much higher this year then it was in 2007. At least they learned a few things from 2007 and know what to expect. Like everyone has said we all need to hope for some rain!!! He is going to keep me updated on this so if I here more I will keep you guys updated! I am going to go do a rain dance now. Brian

I would agree with the closing however they dont start taking eggs till a certain point in October due to viability of the egg. There are fish knocking at the door of the hatchery right now. A friend was there yesterday. However the viability of those eggs are zero. I have a call into Dave Lemon to see what there plan is. I will update when I hear more. Thanks for posting Rick. Brian

They don't call Ginny the tape lady for nothing! Best shop around if your looking for custom! [ Post made via Android ]

Jons in Mexico has them all

I went down to the boat this am. It happened on the Red dock dont know to what extent. The Boats I know looked fine to me. I looked over Blue dock and everything looked fine there.

I let my customers put it out! It is a night and day difference.

Call Larrys tackle shop, Jim works for him.

May is the time frame for walleyes in Oswego at night.

The hard part about a thread like this is its really only maybe 15 guys. There are a lot of opinions out there that never make the board really the other side of the coin. I would agree with just about everything that has been said in the thread so far. I was asked to be part of the committee to help reshape what we had. Did I agree with all of it? Not all of it. I talked in depth with various people about what they wanted to see and also what they thought of the format. Was it perfect by no means but there are no perfect large tournaments. We have a lot of choice now as as anglers on the lake when it comes to big money events. I am not talking about the Saturday 50 to 100.00 fun runs. I am talking about the 500 to 1000.00 entry tourneys. 6 fish, one day, salmon tourneys have caught on here, do they have there place? Sure do! They fill a niche! We have our 12 fish, 2 day tourneys. Do they have there place? Sure do! They also fill a niche. I think the structure of the pro/ams was trying to appeal to both of those. Was it perfect? NO Can we work on making it better? SURE CAN!! There is not a perfect tourney on the lake everyone of them is open to improvement and constructive disscussions will help. When I was asked to be on the committee I looked into the michigan tourney scene a lot. I looked at there rules, the formats and so on. They have been doing this a heck of a lot longer then the organizations here in NY. Google some of those major events and take a look at there formats and rules. Some of them maybe eye openers to you. Example of one that they have that we dont: "If you win the am div in a tourney the following year you are fishing it pro". Just an example of a rule that may have helped us over the years. One thing we have with our series that they dont is an overall season champion and I happen to think that sets us apart! I dont want to be considered the LOU spokesman but I can tell you the committee is reading all the forum threads and are looking to the future in 2013. I will be sure to pass along any and all concerns that are posted.

2 best days of owning a boat- The day you buy it and The day you sell it! Sorry for your frustrations! No excuse for poor customer service!!

This was Marlenes boat! I cant believe your selling it! This is a PROVEN FISH CATCHER!!!!!!!!

Thanks Rick, I would like to go back and try the west coast of the island just for the monsters. They were saying its big water but in big boats....25ft Gradys! LOL!!!!!!! Maybe someday Its hard to leave our Lake but it was worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. They couldnt get over my description of our programs they looked a me like I had 2 heads..

It was a Great Experience! Ray, It was COLD!!! Water temp was 63 on the surface. It was a cold ride in the boat mainly cause it was an open boat but we hit great weather. The guides were in Mustang suits in the morning to stay warm. Our guide was in shorts and a tshirt on the afternoon trip we were in sweatshirts and rain pants. With the HOT weather we had at home it was a big shock to us. As far as the fight of the fish they pull the other rod and stop the boat so in that respect it is a little different. The gear is a bit different as well with the mooching reels which by the way are a BLAST!! I will be adding these to the arsenal on the big lake. I would say over all the fight is about the same. The spots on the tail and the body looked more vivid to me then the lake. We thought the freshwater may wash the color out a little. One other interesting note they tag and clip every fish from there hatchery system. And have for the last 8 years with no intention on stopping like our DEC has.... They have Kings return on occasion that are 6 years old
