I would take it to Tony Anthony in Orchard Park,he will repair it right and stand behind his work.Could be just the micro switch in the foot control.If you repair it your self and do something wrong you may be out more dollars or the price of a whole new unit.

The northern pike slot limit is needed most durring Ice fishing time,because that is when they are pressured the most.Lake Erie already has a 54" sizelimit for purebred muskies, it should be total Catch & Release.The upper niagara river has 48"on the NY side,but only 44" on the Canadian side,they need to get the Canadian side up to 48" as well.Because so many fishermen use the northern pike earlier season to actualy target muskies on the niagara river and lake erie,the buffalo harbor area should not open for northern pike until the 3rd saturday in June,allowing the big girls to spawn without stress. Capt. Larry

Gander Mtn Tonawanda use to have two full ailes of muskie lures when my son Nelson was the store manager in 2008. After he left the stores muskie area got smaller and smaller,now it has about 6' X 4' area of Bucher,Storm,Muskies Inovation,Double Cowgirl's and Red October Tubes and that is about it.

Stinky Finger, Chets Tackle and all the rest of the Tackle stores that had muskie tackle in the Buffalo Area are all closed.Closest tackle store with any sizable amount of muskie tackle is Happy Hooker Bait Shop on Route 394 going into Lakewood,NY down by Chautauqua Lake.Other then that is the NMA ,Internet Musky Stores or eBay! Capt. Larry

The best fishing for muskies is on a falling barometric pressure.I like from 29:95 to 28:85,always get bigger fish hitting then.But if your on one of those consant high pressure periods where the baometric pressure has been above 30:10 to 3:20 for a few days in a row,just the slightest barometric pressure move or wind increase can trigger a fast feeding window.The same fast feeding window is on again off again in short duration as winds speed up and then slow back down.

Zach, I will have a Client with me so I will need to find a motel or cottage near or on the lake. Capt. Larry

Zach, Dr. Dave and I decided that we would camp at Saltfork State Park in section G close to the boat launch and where the other muskie guys are camping.We plan to use sleeping bags on the boats floor with the cover over the boat.So if you come along with us you will need to bring along a sleeping bag.This puts us there close to the boat launch for early morning start and at the camp fire with the rest of the muskie nuts each night.We will cook using an electric frying pan,george foreman grill and perculator coffee pot. Costs for this trip will be low,most expensive part will be splitting the gasoline price.Confirm soon if your still going to make the trip,also if your going to Howard Wagners Spring Fling. Capt. Larry

Zach, If you bring your boat you should try to get one of the other LOU guys to come with you! Capt. Larry

Ok,LOU Guy's who else is going to Saltfork Lake for the Tourney the weekend of April 16th & 17th! Only $12 Entry Fee! Get your line wet for muskies for the first time for the year,join us and meet other muskie guys from Ohio,Pa & WV. Capt. Larry

MuskieGuy and the others camping have a big cookout and party around the fire on Friday night,we will join them for awhile friday night,but will spend the night in a motel.Early April can still get very cold at night,to cold for my old bones to lay on the ground.If I want my bones to get cold and my body to lock up,I want to do it fishing,not laying on the ground. But if Dr. Dave wants to sleep in his boat while using a ceramic heater with power from my Honda Generator,I can do that. Zach, You will need to be at my house by 2:00 pm on Friday the 15th of April! Capt. Larry

Everything that looks like a Wiley,is a Copy of a Wiley. Wiley Lures have caught so many fish over the years that there are now more then a dozen other lure co's out there with copies.That just tells you how good they are! Capt. Larry

Go to the Sleeper----Sugar Lake--Small but a few Big Muskies! Capt. Larry

Zach, The Little Richard does not work like the Wiley,it has a blunt nose so it works differently.They will work,but a Wiley will catch more fish.Vinces Spinner Shop has some Little Richards left over from the Shows I can get them the next batch of lures I pick up.I could have had them all cheap,I passed on them! Capt. Larry

Nitromusky,Join us down in southeast Ohio at Saltfork Lake for the weekend of April 16th & 17th.There are always lots of muskies caught & released every year at this outing and a couple over 50" as well. Capt. Larry

I picked up about 50 more Wiley Jtd 5 1/2" crankbaits to water test and sort through,many Bakers,cranky X,Meduca's,Double Tail BullDawg's and Twisted Tube 10". We will do a little more casting this year because of those gas prices. Capt. Larry

Zach, You will be in good hands fishing with Todd Young! Todd knows Arthur inside out and is a very accomplished muskie fishermen. Not only does Todd Young Guide,he was Dale Wiley's partner when they won the PMTT Championship a few years back. Have fun on that trip,your Luck has been good! Capt. Larry

There is still 21 square miles of Ice behind the Ice Boom. Earliest Ice Boom Removal is April 1st,but not likely with the cool days and nights we are still having.I would bet on April 10th! Capt. Larry D. Jones Vice Pres. E.L.E.C.B.A. www.mostlymuskies.com
