Sorry for the delay in updates, but in trying to finalize things with the Moose lodge i i learned late yesterday that our transition in venue still has one last unforeseen hurdle, so for this month we will be back at Nashvilles in Henrietta the Wednesday after thanksgiving: Nov 28th.

We have a few orders of business related to planning for 2013 events, the DECs proposed muskie regs changes. Our prez, Jim will also be giving a talk on lure tuning. 

As always, new members always welcome. Any questions call email or PM me here.

Talked to Booger at Waneta lake today. I heard there was a 51" musky that had a two man day. Ask Ronix 51.

Mike I believe the goal is to have the agenda set by the Jan or Feb meeting. The Dec meeting is at the Moose Lodge on Mon Dec 17. After that, monthly meetings will be the third Mon of every month.

I saw you on Waneta the last day of the season. I was with Mr Toothy. We got skunked. we were the only boat on the lake that didn't get anything.

[Ronix 51]

We got 2, both were 38" my buddy lost a real nice one in the morning. We surprisingly were able to cast all day even though it snowed non stop! It was at the expense of one of my reels though but thanks to Booger for saving my inland season ender by letting me use one of his reels for the rest of the day!

[mostlymuskies]

I had told Jim Reynolds our chapter Pres. that I would make tonights NY Chapter 69 meeting,but now I can't make it,grandaughter is singing in a school christmas concert tonight.May everyone at the NY M.I. Chapter 69 Meeting tonight at the Moose Lodge have a great night of talk & cheer and great Xmas & new years! I'll see everyone at the Jan Meeting.It was tough today tucking the boat into the garage for the winter.

Hi all, just a reminder that the 3rd Monday of the month is just 10 days away: the 21st. Being the first meeting of the year, this will be our annual planning meeting and the events and agenda for the year will be determined. And for those of us looking forward to early season muskies, we also have Capt Ed Cragg providing a discussion of Cowanesque Lake - a PA water (where the muskies season is open year round) just south of Corning, stocked with both pure and tiger muskies.

If you've been waiting for the 1st of the year to join Muskies Inc, now is the time to come on out (though new members are always welcome!) And if you're a member already this is one meeting not to miss!

Moose lodge on W Henrietta Rd just S of the Thruway. 7PM start. Ck out nymusky.com for directions.

PM me with any questions!

I'm looking forward to the Jan 21st M.I. Chapter 69 Meeting as well.I start out with my first Erie County Fishing Advisory Board Meeting on Jan 15th.At the FAB Meeting my agenda will be on Lake Erie Launch Access / Launch Dredging.With Lake Erie at very low water levels and launch ramps being filled in with silt,most launch ramps are so low it is very hard to launch your boat.We need to find state and federal funds for dredging.The other problem is launch access in the fall,but even more important is safe retrieve ramp under high wind conditions in the Buffalo Harbor.Erie Basin Marina launch ramp needs to be open for emergency boat retrival when winds go up suddenly to gale force.When this happens waves roll over the dock and launch ramp at the SBH.Erie Basin Marina doesn't have to be open for launch & retrieve,just do not put the cement baracade blocking the launch ramps and it can only be used under emergency times of high winds to retrive your boat.We also have a problem with low water at the launch ramps for Waneta Lake,Casadaga Lake,Chautauqua Lake and these need to be addressed to the NY DEC & Townships by the NY M.I. Chapter 69.I will bring up this disscusion on launch ramp dredging at the Jan 15th FAB Meeting and also at the Jan 21st Chapter 69 Meeting.Also we will need to discuss Chapter 69 opening a Conservation Fund checking account to handle the Chautauqua Bait Fish Fund,because I start collecting Social Security this year and have earning limits,I can no longer carry the Chautauqua Bait Fish Fund on my personal taxes.This has to happen asap if there is to be a Chautauqua Tourney on June 29th,2013.Payment would be by check made out to NY M.I. Chapter 69 Conservation Fund if the chapter votes to do so,if not the Chautauqua Tourneys and Chautauqua Bait Fish Fund will come to an end.This is a very important Chapter 69 Meeting,please attend!

I recieved this email from Raymond Janoski a friend to muskie conservation everywhere,Ray lives in Pa,won these on the Three Rivers Chapter 16 Linesville Hatchery Raffle and passed them on to generate cash flow for the Chautauqua Bait Fish Fund!

 

Capt. Larry

I won an auction of 5 Depth Raiders and a lure retriever from Three Rivers MI minnow fund fundraiser. I'm having them sent to you so that Chapter 69 of MI can make money on them too. I think they are coming from Todd at Chapter 19 MI.

Thanks,
