  1. Has to be someone on here with good stuff in your area
  2. Harnesses are quite easy to tie and good components are easy to find. Most of the pretied stuff I see at Dicks isn't really suitable for anywhere where there are decent walleye...the hooks and line are suspect at a minimum. The first cheap ones I ever used here on Otisco got tore up and shredded with each fish. They worked ok at best for 1 fish. Tie or buy with a quality flourocarbon like Seaguar or bloodrun and wide gap walleye hooks from vmc or the like...as for used or old harnesses...worse yet... I make them up when I plan on using them and tear them down over the winter or whenever damaged and save the hooks, clevis, and blades. Good walleye are too hard to come by to use anything but a quality flouro leader. If you were closer I'd tie you a couple for nothing...
  3. Nice work! Great bass there for sure. I had 2 groups out for bass here on Otisco last few days and we scored just about everywhere we went. Our best big fish pattern was off shore floating docks with water over 10 feet deep....ones with hard bottoms had smallies and those with weeds and soft bottom had largies. Weightless dead sticked senkos for the largies and kitechs on a drop shot for smallies. Give it a try next time here...
  4. I've never had a long term cat problem... a fishing problem on the other hand I probably have!
  5. Awesome pics thanks for sharing and nice work with the eyes! I couldn't buy 1 this morn!
  6. Awesome job Kevin! Can't beat time afield with family and kudos to the coach
  7. Went out from 1230 to 130 solo last night and got 1 6 pounder...pic in the net was cool so I thought I'd share.
  8. You have from midnite Friday night to Sunday at 2pm to fish. Fish as much or as little as you want. I'm planning on fishing short stretches throughout for the different species.
  9. True topwater action finally...and you guys really got me me seriously wired with your fish and Brent you were right about your spot!
  10. Well Kevin I guess it was my night...only a 7 lb avg tho...I'll post pics...haven't taken any yet...
  11. No they fish tigers in pa...they never caught more than 2-3 in a weekend tho...or seen 20+ tigers in few hours
  12. I agree 100% old man! I just hope to raise at least one! If we raise one and I can watch its' reaction I can usually figure out the adjustment...today they wanted small baits and SLOW!
  13. Perfect John! Gotta camp this year so we can safely have a few MORE adult beverages around a fire this year. If the campground becomes booked I can get tent space on my site and I'm sure a couple others...still have to pay but a site none the less!
  14. Nice work guys! You deserve em! Been a while since I had a limit with that avg! The bait is in the fish are in but it's been pretty tough here...especially if you aren't seasoned at it
  15. And not even a follow on all the stuff we had on when you were here...everyday is different
  16. I had a group out today and we hooked 7 and landed 5. Very tough bite except when the sun popped out. If you were in good water when it was sunny it was lights out. Work over weeds 12 fow or so and you have to figure out what they want...jerkbaits, inlines, and plastics all have their day but usually not all at the same time.... Today's fish were mid 20's to mid 30's. We saw good fish but never had anything in the 40s interested. Pics to follow when I get em...
  17. Would have been a better photo but that's my fault! As soon as I began lifting the fish out of the net for a quick pic with Maddux the fish launched itself airborne easily clearing the net and slipping my grip! Apparently the fish didn't need reviving whatsoever!
  18. That's better Kevin! Nice work bud!
  19. He fished 16+ hrs a day...mostly from shore and not for tigers but still....all casting and not sitting watching a bobber...to have that energy sure but patience and attention span was cool...Its awesome to see the passion is alive...btw he doesn't like video games!☺☺☺☺
  20. I'm not sure who was happier...mom, dad, Maddux, or myself! It was a surreal experience. Keep in mind that Maddux caught the biggest tiger of the year last year on my boat trolling and now has the biggest casting tiger I've ever put in my net. He has an impressive attitude and worked hard to achieve a goal. He did nothing but fish hard and listen respectfully...
