I think most guys with I/O are pulled and winterized, with the threat of snow and below freezing temps down here in the Pocono's I'm putting the pink juice to mine tomorrow, so I think to northern guys have mission complete.

I think what you guys are doing with the signs is great!! Like nr surf&turf said those guys don't give a dam about the muskies nor will they even take notice to the signs and a lot of others, since Justin has made this lake a walleye lake I don't mean it in a bad way, but look back over the posts. I know many folks that want to try their hand at a walleye and I'm one of them, the walleye are very nice size and with the stocking people know that they will be there. That being said the old school guys don't want to hear anything about musky preservation in walleye land. Maybe the younger Gen that are educated that a walleye will eat a musky will be the ones to focus on and I believe that's where this is going. But the older guys when they start bending up their $7-12.00 rig are going to get mad and wont pay any attention to a survival type release for a musky, and take precious time to rerig when their competition is casting away, hell those guys don't care about the bass either it's all about the NAME & FAME. What you guys are doing is a good thing and there is going to become a time when we all need to take a step back and take a good look at what we are doing or not doing, you guys are taking the first step toward what we SHOULD be doing, congrats on your effort. Justin and some others around Otisco lake are dedicated and determined to make a difference, but to do this it might take some (Speaking your knowledge about the fishery face to face at time to get through this grey area) Good luck and stand your ground!!

Great idea for the go pro and thanks for the great pics. Things slow up this time of the year so pic are a added bonus for us not as lucky as some to be able to fish much this time of the year. We are forced to stand back and watch as for the camp grounds close and it's fish our home town lakes or watch the fishing channel and work on our gear till next spring or the Ice season. Congrats. on your catch keep the tigers on their toes.

That's a nice rack, send him down to the Pocono's I wouldn't hesitate one bit to let my 35Whelen take over on that one. Very nice, your deer in general have bigger bodies from what I see in the photo's

That is a awesome story, glad to hear that he wanted to go instead of watching tv!! I've got twin girls age 8 and they both are interested in the outdoors 1 is into hunting, camo guns with me right by her side, she likes to shoot my 17hmr, and the other loves to fish so maybe one day I'll be a busy man, but for now they love to fish the bigO . Come on spring, I can't wait to get them into the browns, I might have to change my address to Dexter I hope!! but congrats to your kill and JR being so interested in the whole game

I would of played the lottery that night LOL.

Good deal, were you around the islands, did you fish for other species? just wondered if you tried for smallies or walleye. thanks pap.

I will agree with anybody go fishing when ever you get a chance, don't stay off the water cause the moon aint right is ludicrous, but when traveling 18hrs north I'm going to use every aspect I can to make that trip as good as possible, and when you have a chance to use the moon phases in your favor do it, it will prevail for you. If you live within what's a comfortable drive for you, go every chance you get. For instance when I get a chance to fish Lake O where we have our camp and that's 4.5hr ride the only thing I check is my watch for what time it was when I left and the gas tank, other than that it's wfo for Dexter NY.

Yea how bout it, after a good blow in the same direction for a day a man could fill his box with f18's , just walk the shore line and pick em' up like Easter Eggs lol.

Thanks SK, that's definitely them I made a post about them a few months ago, but I'm to dumb to make a picture appear with the post, but when I saw them I figured other people could see what I was trying to describe and wham!! to replies in one day, I'm so glad I know now, are they still used ? what happens when all the clips are gone, junk? or can you still find them,

Thanks for educating me, I had these things and had NO clue as to what they were I figured they had to some sort of releasing apparatus as the clip comes of with some difficulty. Thanks for you expertise!!!!

Les, I'm still lmao ooh my god!! rn surf&turf said he's got the whiskers of a catfish, add a little coyote in there and He's definitely at the top of the food chain. Soon there will be sightings of the grass man around Otisco LOL.

A walleye 25" at just say 71/4 pounds is a stout fish, a 29-30"er pushing 13# or better, great fishing, loose one lure gain another not bad, someone was watching over you.!!

Perseverance will prevail, way to go guys!! I bet that walleye on a noodle rod was fun, thanks for the post and pics.

Please go to the auction post and click on "to see some pictures" and on the far right below the line count down 19 pictures, it will be a tackle box with J plugs, in front of the J plugs are white round things with orange shrink wrap like material with a wire clip on it WHAT are those things. I got a tackle box given to me with the same stuff in it but I never saw these white circles with these clips, and there must be 50 of them in the box I got but have no clue as to what they are. Thanks for any help PAP PS. it must be old school because the box I got given to me looks exactly like that mess. So I know some of you guys been around the block more than me, and I'm dying to know !!!!!
