FISHIN AGAIN?

Did not do as well as you guys did during the derby Saturday but managed to keep a couple dozen gills and one nice crappie. It doesn't look like the weather will be too good for the next few days so I took a half day from work and went out. There were quite a few guys out there. Did best on waxworms.

The annual State of the Lake meeting for the Rochester area will be held on March 10th at RIT in the Chester F. Carlson Center, Bldg 76, Room 1125. It will be from 7:00 till 10:00.

Park at Vitale Park in Lakeville on the North End. Take out bass minnows, spikes, tip-ups, and a jig pole with 2# test max and some small panfish jigs. Walk out to where everyone else is. Set tip ups for Northerns or Bass and jig for gills. Not a lot of flags but a good chance for a big Northern or Largemouth. See the Ice Shanty forum for lots of info on Conesus. Have fun.

Jax, I must be getting old. Who are Tim Meadows and Jack Johnson? I have heard of Audry Meadows and Jerimiah Johnson.

There is a bunch of info on this in old posts but wire cuts the water better and gets deeper faster although you have to be careful about kinks in the wire. Look back a bunch of pages for more answers. Good luck.

Another AMEN here brother. Thanx to all our vets. Brian

Mike, If you need one more to fill the league I guess I could donate my money to you guys. Brian

Chad, I sent ya a PM. Brian

Just wondering if anyone has any 8 pound weights laying around that they want to get rid of. Let me know. Thanx

There is no T&S stamp needed right now. That did not get accepted. The rest of the increased fees are more than enuff. I don't understand why they are charging extra for the DMP'S. I have had a lifetime since they first came out so I am grandfathered, but I think there was way too much of an increase all at once. just my 2 cents.

Went yesterday morning and fished inside water 70 - 90 ft. Lots of marks and bait only managed 1 Brown. My boat is too small to head out to 400. Beats workin.

Thanx a bunch guys for the reports. This is the first chance I have had to post. We were out Sat. morn for a few hours and did not do much. We were in and out 90 -130 with not much going. We had one small steelie on jumped and was gone,it came on a 42nd spoon. We tried a few different spoons and paddles but could not get them to go. Will try to get out tommorrow afternoon, for sure Tues. morning. Brian

We are going out in the morning and I was wondering if any of you Sandy guys could let us know where the down temp was today around 100 ft. My guess it is pretty warm but if anyone knows that would be great. We can't go out too deep so we'll stay in that 100-200 range and see if we can figure something out. I'll be on 72 and will shout out if we do anything. Good luck to all. Brian

Great day. Thanx for the post. We are heading out in the morning out of Sandy Creek and I am guessing the down temp will be deep. We don't have down temp on our lil boat. Good luck tommorrow.

Way to go. You are a quick learner. Years ago we used the length to give us the weight and it was pretty close. 30 inch fish = 20lbs 40 inch fish = 30lbs 50 inch fish = 40lbs In your case that would make the fish around 25 lbs. I would say pretty close. So there's that for what it's worth. Keep up the good fishin.

I was there yesterday and got a few more for the box. Hopefully one's a derby winner.

Have you guys noticed many small kings with missing AD's ?

We went out Sat. morning for a charter trip with JD'S Custom Charters. We had a great time. Jeremy is a great guy and really enjoys fishin. We mainly stayed inside 250 ft and got into a bunch of fish with some quality fish also. We got a couple nice kings along with a few smaller ones and a bunch of Steel with a couple over 11 pounds. We had one triple and what a blast. We tried to get Jeremy to reel a couple in but wanted us to do it. He gave me tips to help me catch a few more on my boat, but when I end up winning the derby I'll have to give him a cut. If anyone wants to learn a few things, have some fun, and catch some fish give Jeremy a call. Thanx again JAX. Brian

That is too funny about the Twinkies. You are right, anything in moderation.

Jeb1340, keep any Kings you catch in those streams. If there is any natural repo. there there is not much. There is a lot of it going on in the Salmon River and tributaries. In fact there is so much that the state is not sure how it will affect the lake population. All chinooks that are raised now get marked so they can get a better handle on it in the future. I saw a picture last year of the guys netting wild fingerlings in the stream and I could not believe how many there were. We usually don't keep any simply cause they don't taste like perch, but if anyone wants to keep them, have at it. I do agree with you guys who say release the small ones. Those skippers will grow into 30 pounders in a couple years.

Great picture of the happy man with that nice king. Looked a lil rough out there yesterday.

Nice job. God it stinks to be working this weekend.

Thanx Fishman for the picture. Something else to get.

Great report. It makes things a lot more interesting with no one else in the boat. Won't have a chance to get out till late next week but I can't wait.

Anyone have a picture of a Rodney? I heard they do pretty well with it at the Oak. Thanx.
