How many of you fish for muskie alone?
old man replied to HybridHunter's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
It can be tough to do with a nine foot rod and a four foot net handle. I like to practice by netting the small ones you would otherwise let shake off or grab behind the head. Thanks for the camera info. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

When i fish alone(95% of the time) i only have one seat in the boat. I keep my baits in plastic boxes in the live well so i'm not tripping over two big lakewood boxes like i used to. I keep my net in one of the empty mounts for the seat pedestals. The less stuff in the way the less likely you are to get the net hung up or stumble. I pinch my barbs down so unhooking is easy. My go pro is down there with rougarou's phones. Is the action cam easy to use? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -

Some funny comments here. Some are tongue and cheek i guess. Long ago my first wife suddenly stopped nagging me about going fishing and became supportive of it. "You work hard,go fishing,you deserve it" she would say. I used to leave for the Larry around 3am. All of a sudden it was "you should go the night before and stay there,it's so much driving. You should stay two nights and make it worth the drive". Guess why? Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

i could get that pass but i haven't. I don't mind paying for things i actually use like quality boat launches. I just wish i could get a pass on paying for welfare,food stamps,heap,head start,abortion,transgender rights,gun control,wic,earned income credit,etc,etc,etc.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I baby and pamper my boats with the best of them. But when the day comes when it she gets her first ding it's also a relief. I don't have to be so anal about bumpers and where i tie it up and whatnot anymore. I made it 5 years on my current boat before she got any dock rash,my personal best.

I don't fish for walleye or know much about them. I get a few each year by accident and release them. My brother is a walleye guy. He fishes Oneida. He's tried Otisco but says they're too hard too catch there because there is so much bait in the lake. I really don't know. But i wonder...if otisco got stocked every year and the walleye fishing got to a fantastic level wouldn't the word get out and the lake get crowded? Is that really what we want there? Justin says catch rates for walleye are up there. Maybe things are ok as is? God bless those that target bass,walleye,and twout! More esox for me.😜 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I bought a "semi custom" carver boat cover. It has an outboard cover built in. Still intact after 3 years. The wal mart and bass pro covers i've owned have ripped after 2 years. I had a snap on cover that came with my Lund but it was brutal to get on with arthritis and carpal tunnel. If i had a lift i'd spring for a canopy. Or build one.

St Croix Avid MH -F 8'6 Casting question
old man replied to Kabar's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
For pike you can't beat a nickle red eye 4" spoon. The mepps rougarou mentioned is good too. Also a mepps musky maribou in black and white is killer on northerns. Downside is they get bent up and lose a lot of hair after a few fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United -
