Tried to make it out on Chautauqa today but couldn't get past the ice. My New York season looks to be over...

Some braver souls might still be able to make it out. West side of the lake looks a little more clear of ice than east side.

Yep. Season is over for me. Here are pics of my last day on the water and the launch the next morning. Oh well... It was a good year. Looking forward to some hunting and the muskie shows this winter.

Here is our catch on closing day, only took a picture of the biggest one- we caught quite a few. To my surprise, top water was working the best!!!

[Sk8man]

Geez too bad you had to release it....fouled hooked

[Tigerhunter]

Don't worry, we kept the smaller ones.... Heard those big ones taste like the water they come from.

I put my boat to bed today! Yesterday my 225 hp outboard had two clynders wash out with to much gasoline, either leaking injectors or fuel rail, shut it down and came in with the 15 hp Honda.Compression check today showed no powerhead damage 95 psi on all 6 cylinders.I will tare down the fuel rail section and send the fuel Injectors out to be tested over the winter.I will still get out a couple more times on the Lower Niagara River with Dave Martin.
