Just being hundreds of miles away from work and house projects will be relaxing at least. Besides we may have snow next week according to our reliable weatherman.:)
I need a week off of work and nice weather just so I can get the house, yard, truck, boat, ect in order for winter. I almost hate this time of year. Hunting, fishing. Then all of a sudden it's complete crap out and I'm rushing to get other stuff done that has to be done. I need to win the lottery or something. Lol
Made it down here today 12:15 pm. The only rain I hit was 20 miles west of Myrtle. That was a pleasant surprise. I pushed the storm North. I't windy but no rain now. The people at the front desk said the waves are big on the ocean. I looked at them and guess what - the ones on ERIE look bigger. Fishkiller - how are you feeling?
Actually I'm feeling pretty goog ill be back in my treestand as soon as this **** weather breaks. On another note I got the big Baha into storage today.
Go figure joe has time off and there is wind and waves ha ha. Have a good safe trip enjoy it cause its gonna be sh**y here if weather men are on their game. Jim i saw a 150 class 300 yds from my house nice animal working a scrape line. Whats up with fire wood figure tomorrow no good due to rain.
I saw three boats out on the pond today. Not too bad from my room. a little breezy & cool. Oh yeah the pond is the Atlantic Ocean.
All I see is rain and leaves. Oh and more rain. LolQuote:

I bet there will be many boats on the market - cheap. Coming from the east coast. Slightly used, wind blown, tossed, minor damage, water logged, fixer uppers, etc. It tough looking at the devistation of the homes and boats and lives all over the areas hit by SANDY. Reminds me of an old girl I used to know.
the tough looking part? :)Quote:

Thanks Joe for the info, if weatherman is correct (ha) I may sneak out fishing on tuesday, good to hear there is still a dock in. Those "very low water" signs have been there a while, I'm thinking with all the rain we had it has to be a little deeper than a couple of weeks ago.
The weather buoy has been pulled for the year btw.
I saw that about the Weather Buoy. It's a sad day. They must have closed the shipping season for the year. I think that when they put it out of service for the year. I check that info 10 times a day.
I think my hopes of still fishing are fading fast. This weather hasn't cooperated with my days off since sept. lol. I was hopin for an eye outing and maybe a Muskie outing too. But.
I have the same thoughts but my problem is getting my lazy a$$ out of bed in the AM. same problem with hunting! :oQuote:

When we were getting all the wind I kinda put out the possablity of gettin out on the lake. Just when you give up we get this nice weather. Go figure. Now the boat is winterized and out to bed for a few months.
sbh was packed today no room to park another trailor bunch of boats by the south gap and in the river
Wonder what they were catching ?Quote:

Probably musky, bass, perch. Only 178 days until May 15 th and the marinas open for 2013.
I'm leanin towards perch or walleye.
I heard that the walleye are a pain in the neck for the muskie fishermen this time of yr. they can't keep them off their hooks/lures when they are fishing the hump for muskie inside the so. gap. hell of a problem to have! :)Quote:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Anyone get out on Thanksgiving fishing? Let' ignore the other posts and maybe they will go away. You know what i mean.
I did not get out, and I finally winterized the boat on Friday. This was a long, good season!
In one of the In Fisherman books, Al Linder says that he spends 50% of his fishing time jigging, 25% "precision" fishing with bouncers (short line, rod-in-hand), and the other 25% with all other techniques (Lindy rigging, trolling/casting cranks, etc.). I am sure that this is partly due to Minnesota's restrictions for 1 rod/angler (at the time that the book was written).
I am curious - How does everyone here spend their time walleye fishing? I am trolling worm harnesses ~70% of the time (most often multiple rods with bottom bouncers), trolling crankbaits 20% of the time, and ~10% of my time spent on everything else (jigging in the spring, etc.).
What do all of you do??
I spend 99.9 % if the time trolling. 75% of the time with worm harnesses. I use some plugs and spoons. I need to get out more. Work consumes way too much time. I plan to do more bottom bouncing next year. I don't use lead core but from what i hear it's been productive. I'm going to look into getting a lead core rod & reel. I'll have to see what fishkiller will be selling come spring.
They won't go away til that person is banned snd this sight starts getting monitered better. I pm'd walleye Rick about it and am waiting his reply. Unfortunately this person has plastered the entire site and one member told his 8 yr old daughter on to read fishing reports and she saw porn. Not cool.Quote:

Hard to find a fishing buddy replacement on thanksgiving lol
Personally my favorite way to fish eyes is jigging. Ill jig throughout the spring, then once they move deeper ill troll.
Jigging eyes requires a sensitive rod and a good feel for the difference between fish and bottom. This spring I out fished my friend standing right next to me using the same jig. He just didn't have the feel. It got to the point that he put his rod down and just netted fish for me. A friend of the family does better than me. He uses a different jig approach. 1/4oz white jig head with a whole crawler on it. He just lets it kinda swim through the water. He limits out as does his kids in their boat almost everytime he goes out. I added a number 6 octopus red hook to the end of the crawler and increased my catch rate by 50%. I trolled during the spring for years until I decided to jig.
I am a troller works the nuts i use everything but have yet to bottom bounce maybe give it a whirl this next season. I think we should see about having one of us added as a mod that way we can police our own threads. I think if one of you is computer savy maybe. You should make an offer to do it. I would offer but i know just enough to make me dangerous lol.
That's what I pm'd walleye Rick about yesterday.Quote:

Whats up with all the crap on here?
i like drifting or slow trolling with bouncers most of the time i tried jigging with erie dearys at night and got bigger fish in spring and early summer at the senca bouy im still learning just trying to see what works for me and listening to you guys on this site
I pm'd him before about that jerk who keeps putting up posts just trying to get people to click on his miami site and he never replied back. I wonder if he walleye fishes these days (if ever) because he certainly doesn't read the forums.
I talked to Walleye Rick a few months ago when i was buying some Cannon pole holders. I tried looking up his number in history and found it. I left a voice message about the porn on the web site. I asked him to check it out and delete it. Let's see what happens. He might be on vacation. ????? It's been a holiday week, maybe he's away????
