looks like good fishing to me- but to "slimey" he would think its boring! nice job.

nitro- where is your cross lake/ state ditch pics? we all see whats in their now with this nice picture- you have no excuses anymore.

all my action came in around 6fow if that helps.

would be the same thing as lime lake b/c the rest of us cant fish it.

i am jealous. after seeing this i am making plans for monday to hit the north end. larry are u fishing on monday also?

alot of people are p*ssed that they stock that lake and dont have a public launch.

good action last night. 2 tigers including my best at 35" and a small 27" on the phantom. 3 bass included. the smallest was around 3.5lbs and largest was about 5lbs. the bass took the jerkbaits also. started fishing @ 6:45 so i thought this was decent fishing.

isn't that lake (lime) impossible to launch a boat on? i hear its for locals only? know anything about the launch? yes nitro. gonna try in shallow. we'll see what happens. i am burned out on waneta already, and chaut is too far tonight. dying to go back to chaut- most likely i will avoid it this weekend but mon or tues i am taking the day off from work to troll the big lake after seeing larry's reports.

going out tonight for some tiger time.

nice catches! i want to go back to chautauqa fishing. its a good place for me!

nice

i posted this now b/c it coincides w/ the water temp we have now. funny how at different water depths he picks differant colors. something for me to think about. pink for the small perch in shallow and greys for the suckers out deeper.

i am thinking about hitting waneta less now that i am sort of upset of the situation down there. chaut is loaded w/ 40"ers and at waneta it is alot more tough to connect w/ one that size. i think next time out i am going back to chaut and will probally do 2x as many fish w/ a chance at an actual good one unlike waneta. i am getting burned out trying to educate the locals who dont give a rats ass about the fishery they have. i wish the state would consider another lake also to stock semi-locally to rochester. we all have seen what has happened in areas where they introduced them in minnesota. people travel and spend big money to get a shot at a big fish and this could happen here. its starting to look like there is only one real musky lake in NY. waneta get hammered so bad all summer i am suprised we catch anything. its a love/ hate thing i have going on right now. love waneta/ hate the locals. look at lake webster in indiana. it is a small lake like waneta but kicks out great #'s and big ones. difference is they take care of it. if we stocked them in the genny, they would have access to the lake and its the biggest trib other than the oswego on this side of lake o. would be neat to have them in there eating all the salmon. oh well- just a dream that will never come true. think of the looks you would get putting a steelie on a quick strike rig.

i first read that article a couple of years ago and have wanted to try what it says. sounds like real shallow and weedy but for some honkers and no nitro, i don't do pot.

i am all about putting real muskies in conesus. i had that happen to me last year also- someone asked me for a fish. w/ the small size limit, locals who kill alot of fish and the small size of the lake i am surprised we even get 40"ers. i am starting to wonder why the locals hate the skies. make me wish i had another lake to fish semi-locally. i hate the rednecks and their ruining of the fishery that i want to do well.

its alright brad- my good karma always comes back to me in the long run, not worried. i would lend u another one tomorrow and not think twice.

or just but other plugs. muskyrockets have been super hot for me this year.

if its good for you roll with it. i dont own even one firetiger but you have me thinking about getting some, i just think it is the most "overused" color out there. looks like it may be for a reason huh?

almost thought that pic was of e.c. i didn't recognize you w/ that nma hat, nice fish- bob are you only fishing firetiger this year? did u make or buy that "floating" ruler?

http://www.fishinfo.com/fishing-article ... _485.shtml i have gone though this article a few times and its that time now according to tony grant.

hey nitro- i saw 76 degree water temps. after 80 shouldn't we all stop fishing them until it gets cooler? thats what makes all the guys in kentucky and indiana stop. i hear you just can't release fish b/c they go belly up and die. what are your thoughts? if yes, we have about a week to fish waneta but will the locals stop fishing muskies down their? it could be a bad year for waneta's muskies.

how come everyone wants to fish w/ her and not me????? i don't understand? ray, would you have met me out if i looked like that?

nitro, i know you can still get on ed's boat if you want, he said there is room for you even though bob brought so much stuff w/ him on his boat. finally got a musky after years of trying on my b-day. 2 small ones and i booted another small one. casted all night and nada. slept on the boat and woke up like 10x b/c of it being so cold and wet out. trolled up those muskies and had a nice one roll on a manta jerkbait but no hooks found their way home. i also had to cut hooks outta a fish for the first time in 2 years. also saw some guys throwing big shad rap rapalas try to release a 28" and i saw it go belly up and they just left it. i asked them if they were going to work that fish to make sure it made it. they said it wasn't legal, so no. i have no idea about why you would spend time making sure a big fish made it but not a small one? weren't the big ones once small? anyways i spent about 5 minutes w/ the little guy and he finally made it and swam off right side up! i yelled at their boat and cussed at them once or twice (or 37x). they didn't like that but oh well and we finished yelling in the parking lot w/ me not backing down. happy birthday i kept telling myself when i got all worked up. nitro- you did 2? nice job! any monsters?

thats funny nito. me love you long time

wow!
