Waneta Muskies...what can we do?
solgrande replied to Ronix 51's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
I`m usually fairly quiet but.. ... We can start by dropping the name calling-it does`nt help....i spent last wknd driving around posting flyers(from roch to perry to watkins glenn to auburn and places in between)) for the road rules and lure swap with waneta as one of my stops to get the word out!!All the buisnesses i stopped at were helpful in posting the info and listening to what i had to say about the clinic,bait fund and C&R-what i got was a positive response from the city to the country(waneta being one of them)!This was done to PROMOTE the ny fishery and offer my 2cents to those on the importance of catch and release.As long as there is a season and a limit we are going to have to deal with it....Be calm and teach what we practice.Some will get it ..some won`t-that`s just the way it is.If i get held up @ the launch because someone(anyone from anywhere) is curious and asks questions pertaining to c&r or just muskies in general then so be it.I`d rather them know proper release technics and tools involved than blow them off.So what can we do....the best we can. Thanx sol -
I use an 8`gander med/hvy im8 rod for casting and 7`one pc ugly stik for trolling. sol

Thanks for the trip larry...had a great time at the show and talking with ya there and back...well all except when i dosed off on the way back!-soory.Sat in on some great seminars and really enjoyed scott kiepers discussion on breaking down the science of mr.esox.Very intense and excited about musky fishing..great to listen too.There is no off switch full speed ahead.Thanx scott.Lots of nice baits to see.Met rodger and his wife @ h20 (nice baits)great folks,and enjoyed talking with steve suick and a few others.Yes..long day indeed-weather turned a little messy as i got back to rochester.I may have to forgo the butler show by making this trip but i still have the road rules. Thanks again larry. Bob S

Irondequoit Bayside Pub Ice Fishing Tourney
solgrande replied to Finders Keepers's topic in Ice fishing
Hopefully someday they will make the pike entries catch and release.Tourneys have no doubt slowed the pike fishing over the years during open water.The bigguns are far more accessible during winter months as they frequent the shallows.To keep a healthy population of above average fish the large females need to be released.Try doing entries by length and slip them back in the hole for another day.It is nice to tie into a lunker every now and then-more often would be better.Every little bit helps.Selective harvest...not harvest all. sol -
Need Prayers For Family

too much heartache for one family to have to endure.Larry...My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.Give our best to your family. Bob -
well did`nt loose to a router but i got collected in a 3way tonight.Some jack a#$ ran a red light on 104 and hit a neon that spun into my truck.My mothers blood pressure is up and we`re a little sore but seem ok.That light was a SOLID red.Our light was green and the neon was 1/2way through when hit.Good thing i had`nt pulled out for my turn-that could`ve been ugly.The guy that hit us never came over to the car he creamed!!!probably a good thing.He wound up a couple hundred feet+ down from us.Police were there in a minute or 2.Cudos. sol

Great idea larry...(muskie flee market)...count me in for that.I have a few i`m getting ready to list but i`ll still have more come march.My sales are still contributing 15% for the fund... so i`ll continue with that as well.Maybe we can get the NMA to bring some merchandise???and maybe briefly explain what the club is about and does for the musky fishery for the niagara area by catch and release.Those not familiar with the club may be inclined to join whether they`re from the area or not.Could there a couple lure manufacturer reps there as well(booths)?Would only seem fitting for the event.Well just some ideas.

hey oldman...i run the cabela`s depthmaster gold dmg-20`s w/80#cortland masterbraid on 7`med/hvy uglysticks and luv the setup(2rigs).I also run 2 magda 20`s with the okuma copper 9`rods and 30#cortland endurance mono.These 2 setups i use for not so haed pulling baits as i blewout two spools pulling harder deep diving baits.Since i`ve stopped doing that they have worked great with the smaller baits.The 7`ers i runn on down rods and the longer for the outs?flatline.Leadcore is rigged on two Penn 330gt2 reels matched with the 7`med/hvy uglystik.I use scotty holders throughout my boat. any luck down at swifts landing lately? sol
