    Good they are dredging it out before the derby that silt was piling up pretty good in there.....hope they get out from the end of the dock aways this time....
  6. Sk8man

    Glad to help out Mike and remind me a few days before the tournament and I go check again and update you. Les

    Yes it seems to be down a bit and that is a good thing right now. It will be interesting to see how bad this ice jams up in the outlet though. Hopefully things will work out OK and there won't be excessive damage but at this point who knows....

    Good going Mike. Certainly not a project for the weak of heart The Admiral is right in the midst of doing his Penn Yan right now...and I know you guys have had your hands full....not everyone would tackle it but when you have a boat that you know so well etc. it pays to put the time and energy into it (let alone the price of these new boats). Congrats! My hat is off to you. Best of luck with it and with fishing this season. Les

    Mike I actually went down to the north end to give you a better idea of "on the ground" data. Pictures speak volumes....it is anyone's guess right now and dependent on wind direction and speed and perhaps rain conditions. It is possible that some docks may be taken out by the ice when this stuff moves despite the "bubblers" etc. Here is a visual "tour" of the north end from Wyffels Road (about 3 miles out on west side north end side to Kershaw Park at the extreme north end including the launch ramp and pier areas:

    Yeah it will probably hit 50 about the first week in August this year

    "The Canada goose is another species that has really become a problem". Yeah Justin it is pretty bad when you have to wear hip boots to the launch ramp; not to deal with the boat but the goose crap....let alone the guys on a golf course The crows are a problem in my area too. I haven't hunted ANYTHING in years (timing issue interferes with my fishing) but I've tried to nail a few of the crows at close range out in my back yard with a pellet gun with ballistic pellets....every time I so much as turn the knob on the door they take off like rockets.....frustrating... but I have to laugh...they seem to be kinda smiling too as they take off which pizzes me off even more

    Hi

    Sk8man replied to Rickski's topic in Introduce Yourself

    Welcome aboard Rick. It is a great forum with a lot of very knowledgeable people who are generous in sharing their information and opinions.....Very healthy for the sport! Les
  18. Sk8man
    Very well said Justin. You covered some great points on both sides of the issue.

    Nice going Pete and nice looking fish.

    Zack is right.... the last I heard they were having difficulty finding someone to silver plate them. Here is their number 585-374-2628 It would almost be worth the trip there just to experience the store....like walking back in time to the fifties and sixties
  21. Sk8man
    They are almost always dead unlike bass tournaments and they are not released after caught (unless undersize) etc.
  22. Sk8man
    If they came with the rings I'd leave them on because the weight may be changed as well as potentially affecting the action directly. With that said I always check them at the side of the boat and see exactly how they are running before sending them out....and tune them if or when necessary whether duolocks are used or not.
  23. Sk8man
    Nice going Kevin. They sound like a sack of potatoes hitting the ground don't they?
  24. Sk8man
    Could be true... but everything I have ever read or seen myself or heard from others (e.g. Seneca Lake in 500 ft water out by barge suspended 275 -300 ft. never hit- including jigging over them) and other fishermen I've spoken with report the same thing....apparent dormancy. But then again I haven't seen the article either and have not fished those waters either (Huron). Les
  25. Sk8man
    I wonder how many of those deep Kings are actually caught or even hit though because freshwater fish that are found that deep are usually in a rather dormant state (i.e.resting and not feeding maybe?)
