Got up over the wknd to the Larry with brad and Lee via waterwolf charters with capt.Bob Walters and 1st mate Daryl.Great guys.Wind was a bit of a problem blowing bob around in a 31`cherokee,daryl had his hands full for awhile setting all the rods but but the wind was abit much and had to pull 1/2.we managed a 1/2 day before we got blown off and hung out sunday `til 11am before calling it a day-Too windy,could`nt get out to where he wanted!!Tough break for all but learned a bunch and got to meet a couple great guys who just flat out love to fish.....needless to say we got along great!!lol.Lots of laughs as well.His underwater video is awesome!! Thanks to bob and daryl and to lee and brad for taking my $$$$ @ cards. oh yeah...we did manage a little slime dart off a shoal around grindstone. I`ll be going out with them again!!! cya sol

great day guys-congrats. sol

Would`nt mind adding to the buzz about fishing but i am grounded with water in my cylinders!!!!!Replaced head gasket but it is still leaking.Gotta try and get it a mechanic and hopefully it`s not more serious.Bad time of year for this to happen. Bob S

Good work guys and gals...we started out trolling ourselves but quit after 1 1/2hrs.Started cast and would finish out the day that way.Had 3 blowup on my bait throughout the day with two of them going airbourne one at boatside as i lifted my lure out-that was cool.No hookups but a fine day of casting...yes i was casting!! Lure of choice for all three was the straight shooter as well!!!nice bait. Bob S

Good luck and seeya on the water.Anyone need assistance feel free to give me a call.I`ll help out if i`m nearby.Just got my boat back but have`nt taken it out yet.Loaded up with carbon and change impeller!!!yuck.Hopefully i`ll get down early and run a bit. cya Bob S 1-315-576-1208

welcome back eric......i`ll be in a white hull starcraft...red/blue graphics this wknd.Flag waving off the back.Probably see ya around. Sol

You should go to work brad...i`ll keep that brand new jerkbait safe for you sol

Thanx brad....you going this wknd?....your jerkbait came in!!!!!!!

Got some lures posted on ebay to help support larry`s bait fund.15% of the sales will be forwarded to larry for the cause..Come visit!!!!! Solgrande

Caught a fat 36"er casting a suick over the weeds this past sunday.Missed`em @ first.He blewup on the bait half it`s back outta the water so i kept jerk`n and on about the fourth jerk he hit and did back to back belly flops it was awesome.Had the couple out up from delaware that were here last year when he boated a 45 1/4" and 20min later a 39.This year cold front and was tough.Started @ 6am troling and ended casting around 345pm.Fish hit @ 3pm.Windy,rain,cloudy then calm sun and back to crap all day.On way in lost pwr in motor a shut down.Got in with trolling batt pwr.It`s at shop and i`m picking up a kicker(15hp force?).Did`nt bother me `cause i just caught a muskie casting!!Think i`ll be doing more of that!lol sol

Awesome!!!thanks larry.Maybe i will go to the nma picinic sunday.Anyone else going? sol

thanks for the stream info.I won`t be musky fish`n `til it cools off.Conesus was @ 78deg.

chech out larry`s site...i`m sure they`ll have current conditions posted.Passing on waneta....i`m hitting conesus in the am. sol

ouch...way too warm.hopefully it will have dropped since.I`ll make the trip and descide then.Maybe the niagara?Thanks joe

could someone tell me the water temp in the last 24hrs for waneta....would like to get down, have`nt fished since larry`s tourney and i can`t take it anymore!i need my fixx.Looking @ late sat very early sun am. Thanks in advance. sol

Get to learn release technics first-this is the most important step-handling your fish.I use 7` one piece med/hvy uglystik with cabelas depthmaster gold line counter reels.#80 suffix and #80 cortland master braid.2 reels are spooled with #30 cortland endurance mono.Leaders...#80 flouro and i also run #100 36"titanium leaders.Your more than welcome to tag along on a trip or two when i come down once these water temps drop a bit.Let me know-most of the time i`m running solo. sol

Holy crap...looks like that thing ate a carp!!kudos on a release sol

i`ll get signed up next wk...heading to the mtns in the am for a week.Gonna give lake durant a go from the canoe. cya sol

Hey larry...with this tourney gaining steam and more anglers showing interest how about in the package you send people add a flyer on release tactics and tools.I`m sure the majority of entrants have proper tools of the trade but with the increase in prize money i`m affraid there will be some that are or will be improperly prepared.New musky hunters are great..knoweledgeable ones will be better.I would hate to see a fish bellyup that was cramed into a net unfit for a bass!!or one that was held up to long `cause they had no way to cut a hook.A set of linesman pliers are better than nothing if you don`t posses some knipex or other bolt cutters.Just a thought....i`m sure many of you would agree and come up with some more ideas. sol

yes they are.... sol

W I F F E D !!!! not even a rip outta my boat.weather was wet and windy,water was like a cup o coffee with toooo much creamer.Long drive but a good time.I`d do it again-nice guys down there. sol

tigerhunter....there are MUCH bigger ones in there!!!(let the big girls go tho).I too bought a hand held model and it seems very sensitive.Easily bumped and knocks it off.I more than likely will be @ conesus,might even stay the nite who knows. sol

Nitro and i are heading to saltfork res ohio for some early musky action this weekend.Larry and zach are already there.we`ll let ya know the outcome.I`m psyched!!! sol

I`m in!!!!can`t leave `til friday afternoon and roll in around 11pm or so if i don`t stop for a breather and i`m thinking i have to start back around noon or a little after on sunday.
