Where do you stay when you go there? Where do you launch?

Wow! A beauty!

Interesting trick with the orange;can't wait to try it. Back to my barbless promo: i took this shot off my gopro. There is a tiger in the net and as you can see i am picking the spoon out of the mouth of the net,where most barbless baits end up as soon as slack is given.

I wasn't there saturday,sorry if i gave the impression i was. Like brent,i'm in the food biz and saturday off is a tall order for me. I usually get out mid week. I have a white champion. I catch a couple at waneta every year but it's never easy. I think every fish in the lake has been caught twice and are leery of my offerings.

success indeed! two follows is a good day for me at waneta. nice job.

My number one rod is a 9' st, croix. Overkill most of the time but great for figure eights. My backup is a 7' pete maina rod from bass pro. It's a fine rod. I had a 7'6" two piece maina rod that snapped at a really bad time. Before my mortgage was paid off i caught plenty of fish on stiff 6'6" bass rods that cost 20 bucks at walmart. I used 17 lb trilene xt then and never felt overmatched. Just took longer to get them to the net.

Oh yeah;thanks justin for the recent posts. I wouldn't have been there today without the recent info.

i was alone today so the go pro was on the outboard for fish pics. After i got some i put it on the trolling motor. I played with one of the small fish in front of it but failed to turn it on. I need more practice with the wi fi remote. I did manage to link it to my phone so i could see underwater on it.

caught some this morning. 2 dinks and 2 decent ones. All on a red eye. All on the southwest shoreline in 10fow. Water was 67/69. Nice amount of weeds now.

Good to hear! Might get there wed or thurs depending on work

happy father's day to all. This is my old man back in the day. It appears my habit of not putting the plug in is inherited. Take your dad fishing while you can.

8 in 3 hrs;not too shabby. The cottonwood was bad thursday as well. I have two reels loaded with it. Tigerhunter;thanks for the info.

Pullin copper it sounds like. Old school but it works. Probly using a victrolla.

Tigerhunter,how was cannadarago?

yeah,the card reader is handy. I wonder if it accepts ebt?

Fished there today from 5:30 til noon. Water was 66/67. Caught 2 small pike and a bass. Had some other follows and hits;all small and no musky. Saw a decent pike caught by a troller. I didn't see any weed disposal stations or power washers but they have this now: the last part says i'm old enough to use the launch free as long as i run over to Letchworth and get a pass.
