slime darts....have`nt heard that one.Just get lucky now and then

This was from last friday(3of4shown-)missed 2 good sized on topwater and spinnerbait)

Been there a couple times(very little knowledge)....i focused on the south ends weed edge towards east side.Icefished a couple years ago and did very good(3-8lbrs and a few smaller-all respectable)

nitro...sent you a pm

been working on that BP!!!! Ps...gonna be posting a few musky lures on classified page!! Bob

I prefer 50-60#powerpro for casting on round style baitcaster w/7'6-8'hvy rod.Troll with 65#pwrpro and actually run 2rods with 20#gamma and spiderwire supermono(1ea)Magda20 linecounter reels 7'hvy ugly stik..80#floro for leader-mon rods i run the most trolling and have yet to have a problem,works great.Good luck Bob

a tigers bands are broken-irregular pattern.There are 3commen variations spotted,barred and clear

Hey jeb...try casting out in front of smithboys on the south end,there`s anice weed edge that develops and it holds fish!Also troll around the bridge (south side)and while in that area toss a few around the red bouy(point).When passing through the 5mph zone drop a couple lines 20`back(shallow runners-6-7'drifter stalkers work for me)1 black perch one chart or firetiger this is a perfect speed and opportunity to hookup.Otherwise nitro hit it pretty good.Irwins bay(bell tower on up)and point chautauqua are good bets too.we`re heading up there the weekend after the opener.I use wildwood campground on brown rd-showers!Good luck Bob

Wow!!!!!! 2 big toothies from that body of water...that lake is getting some serious publicity these past few months.However she got there it`s impressive!!!!!

went out this morning and managed 3 in the boat lost 1 and had a couple misses(browns-biggest was 7lbs).All shallow 5-10fow maxwell area.Try again sat.

hey tough guy...the`re coming.What is that your holding...bait?

Well we made it down there...that was pretty cool.Not used to seeing northerns NOT on the end of my line!Alot of walleyes and a few pike.Took some pics with an underwater camera hopefully they came out.Little tough holding it underwater(kinda cold) for any period of time while staddling a tree and log-we`ll see.Man it`s tough waiting for the opener.

thanks for posting it-still a fine catch

yikes!!!that is a nice northern.Good going tank-I`d be smiling too .Mounted or still swimin?

tHANKS GAMBLER...WE ARE PLANNING TO BE THERE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AFTER WE GET OFF LAKE ONTARIO.WHERE EXACTLY DO WE NEED TO GO?? BOB S

thankyou ...i`ll be getting down there sooooon!love to see some nice northerns.

Could someone from that area let me know when the northerns are running....i`d like to come down and check it out.Thanks Bob S

Just did-be there around same time Nitro...Did you get the pm?????

okay...days results....7 pike landed-kept 3and had several follows(12 or better).very nice day :yes:may try out cayuga tomorrow as well-thanks

Never too early,just watch for debris(some cold water this time of year)Can`t catch any on the couch.This is the earliest i`ve been in.Sounds like these guys have been in for a bit.I`m head`n out now!!!good luck!! Bob S

we were down there last weekend fishing from the pier and i just could`nt take it!!!!!Had some muddy water come in and i could`nt get to the edge.NOT so this weekend.5 were caught,nothing big but a report of an 18lbr was circulating a week prior.All the north was open but the launch @ the ramada was LOW.Thats the only one i know of.I`ll get in somewhere.Big toothy awaits!!!!!!

Has anyone been fishing for northerns?Coming down tomorrow and heading to the north end.Any info would be great,i have`nt been in there before so it`ll be new.Put my ice gear up and uncovered the boat for some last minute pike action.Thanks in advance Bob S

After 5pm will work or whenever.That`s when i get home.We`ll probably have to send items via mail,tough drive to make during week.I`ll be ice fishing tomorrow in steuben co.or @ onieda lake-have`nt quite descided.Have a good weekend

Thankyou for your service and welcome home!Looks as though i wont be heading out that way `til friday afternoon(birthday is today-my minds a little slow in this cold weather).Of course this all depends on the weather and favorable ice conditions.I would have been headed to silver Lake in perry.We may have to do this via mail.Do you pike fish?? Bob

YOUR A VET???!!!
