Larry- when this goes live- you wanna post it on your site? Don Slagle said he is gonna buy his own bait back, lets see but bet the winner will come from outta state.

is 9pm cool guys?

What time of night should I post it to ebay? Dinner time (6pm) or later on after dinner like 9pm so ole man has time for some sippin'? LMK.

Have a dozen baits by some of the best manufactures out there. First bait I am auctioning off is this nasty 9" Hoosier Handmade glider in Foiled Perch and a cool license plate. Don Slagle donated this bait to our club for me to foil and I personally love fishing this bait since I havent got skunked on it yet. I am posting this on ebay later tonight and will do auctions about once a week for the next 2 months. I have Wileys, Hammers, Myers, Custom X, Big Game and many more to do in the next lil bit. Will post a link to ebay later around dinner. Feel free to promote it as much as we can- Muskiefirst, Larrys site, everywhere we can.

(nice pic ole man)

Nitro and I did 4 decent fish from 6am til noon. Casted til 8am but the weeds were all brown from the weed killer- never seen anything look so bad. Busy lake, hot colors were- 2 fish on Foiled Silver Perch, Special Perch and Hot Perch. Great fishing, great opener. Solgrande, "Right Said Fred" and Cpt Ed Cragg got at least 3 each also, fish were biting very well and Baker Baits were hot for us. Saw a good amount of fish caught today despite the conditions.

Hopefully I get to post some more pics after this week. Cant wait for our opener.

Good to see your going down the night before Sol- it will give Nitro and I some company. Sol- you seem to do well taking new people out and gettin' em on fish from the past. Best luck to everyone- hope we all get monsters and have a blast! Should be busy on the lil lake but hopefully some fish get caught by everyone.

The last one is a whopper!

5 muskies on Kincaid today all on the same color and same bait, not a normal color. Noon-6:30pm. One dinkerdillyinker at 31.5" that didn't get pictured at the end of the day. Fish up to 45".

It will get snagged up just like hi-fins, bigfork reef diggers and depthraiders that all have the similar lip. LMAO!

Starting to get a couple baits ready for the tourney- getting excited. Larry- ever see a lip like this before? lol. Stole the design from those Hi-Fins.. Anyone else getting excited other than me?

Congrats! Thought you were gonna take it slow this year but guess not. Best luck.

I was just joking about the die off to keep everyone away, lol. Almost worked huh? Good job picking up clients for the opener Larry- I was amazed it wasnt booked a long time ago, good time of year. Best wishes to everyone who gets out!

No fish in Waneta- heard the weed killer made em all go belly up from a local. Better let me check it out first for ya, lol.

Looks like old spawning scars imho.

Be happy to throw down a couple for the raffle table.

Nice job passing on your good idea.

Mikey got to touch the coolest fish there are, heard their skin feels like rubber- is that true? Do they tattoo sturgeon? Neat.

Great time and Bobby boy/Kevin earned their win. The area where the tourney was won was 2.5-3 degrees colder than the north end so that throws the warmer water theory out the door for early season tigers. Only got a 26" tiger myself trolling a firetiger bait I made but we had a couple more hits and Brad got one chucking a Suick. Beautiful lake that coughed up some fish for us as a group and cant knock the lake at all. Good time seeing everyone and would post pics but dumb a$$ here is having issues. Congrats to those who smoked my punk a$$ last Saturday, really looking forward to summer now. BTY- Larry, you wouldnt have had any issues imo launching as their was a big old Trophy that didnt seem to have any issues. IMO Otisco is a cooler lake than Conesus and wouldnt mind going back sometime. Thanks for organizing this event, good times.
