Cool - 4.? pounds to go. I'll be back from vacation in time to shop for a fall derby seat - my usual ride will be at bear camp through August.

Thanks for all the feedback. We've received a lot information and encouragement from the members of LOU. It's just taken a while for us to start tying it all together

You're welcome. I saw your report - you did well.

FishUSA still has it listed: http://www.fishusa.com/Cortland-Flea-Fl ... ine_p.html

I like All Seasons in Pulaski, across the street from Fat Nancy's. Buy a few flasher/fly combos if you're used to them (ask them what's hot) and run a mix of spoons (with free or fixed sliders) and flashers off your riggers. Flatline one 75 - 125 ft down the pipe too. Running dipsy divers at this point would take money, equipment and time you don't have...

She's definitely a fair-weather fisherwoman but she's been complaining this season about being a fishing widow. Now I hear bow season opens 10/01 this year - I wonder if she'll hunt?

My wife finally got to see what all the fuss is about. We're out again tonight - at her suggestion.

Thanks, Kurt. I'll always have black, yellow-dot Panther Martins stockpiled for stream fishing, thanks to you (and the St. Regis)

Thank you. We've been catching fish on those flies I bought off you, by the way.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: Forever Young ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 7-15-12 Time on Water: 5:30 - 9:30pm Weather/Temp: 80 Wind Speed/Direction: minimal Waves: 1ft Surface Temp:77.4 Location: LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 3 Total Boated: 2 Species Breakdown: kings Hot Lure: spoons - DW Bloody Death II & DW Orange Tranny Trolling Speed: 2.4 Down Speed: unknown Boat Depth: 120 Lure Depth: 60 & 45 ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Took my wife out trolling with us for the first time & predicted bfr we left that we'd do well - because we left the camera home. Set up in 80 fow & trolled NE to 110. Someone straight off the mouth at about 110 hailed us by name and spoke to Charlie while I was rigging - I didn't catch who it was (if you're out there...). The action was pretty slow but we had bait and a few marks here and there. We swung West eventually and stayed at 120 fow nearly to Charlotte, watching the sun drop for the horizon. Thank God we didn't just pull the lines then and run back to port! We've just pointed the boat at the city skyline and the port rigger fired. Charlie grabbed it and started reeling, obviously hooked up to a good fish. I'm spewing unwanted advice, my wife is asking what's happening (at the wheel, under the bimini top) and there goes the starboard rigger - the boat's first double! Mine's hit the slider, I realize - I pull in 15 feet of slack line as fast as I can, set the hook and have a screamer - he heads for Canada, ripping out 250 feet in 30 seconds. I can tell it's the biggest fish I've connected with. Charlie lands his new boat-record big fish, a sweet 19lb king. I think I netted it for him - I don't really remember . Thirty minutes later and the record's broken again. I finally caught my first major! Now I want one on the leaderboard 19lb and 25lb double

Very few in the reports the last few weeks.

You've managed to cover both the high points and the low points on the same trip

Nice boat. See you on the water

I took your advice from a previous post and it helps. Only thing that kept me reeling...

Channel 72 but not much chatter this season. Too many fish

Nice work, Jude.

This will help. I've got a copy stashed on the boat: http://www.seagrant.sunysb.edu/glsportf ... io2012.pdf

Thanks, Nick. Always enjoy fishing vicariously through you.

Great job...Congratulations on your fish!

Lol - Home now, did actually leave work. Still dependent on my buddy's boat, might get out tomorrow afternoon.

23lbs [ Post made via Android ] Gotta get me one of those...

Did the same - downriggers in '08. No clue ... just some troll.
