That's a great fish ! Good work keeping it on the hook after 10 or 12 jumps - the fish are going nuts in this 50F water

Can't wait!! I'm the one holding the scale with Dilly Worm's fish on it in Jack's picture... Thanks for helping with the weigh-in last year. But credit where it's due, that's not my fish - it's my daughter's ! She cracks me up in this photo taken a little while later that day, like she's reminding ...

My daughter & I can't wait - 2 months will be a long time away !

Thanks to everyone who's working to organize this great event !

thanks for the report. A fun read as always !

all good advice. So to get to ten foot deep.......you let out line until the second color is in the water ? Exactly. You only count the colors of lead that are fully submerged. How much the lead-core sinks is dependent on your speed. I believe you get the standard 5 ft per color going around 2.5 mph...

wow, you guys are hard-core !

Happy New Year everyone !

Don't forget to buy the new fishing license for 2024 before you head out on the water !!

Thanks for this inspiring report and all the great photos. You guys are all hard-core fisherman - nice job with the fog, debris, and waves. Sounds like it was not a day on the lake for the faint of heart !

thanks for this post - your reports are always fun to read, whether a good or a bad day of fishing. Fingers crossed for cold and ice !

Thanksgiving 2024 was calm wind and no waves, so with cooperative weather my 12yo daughter and I tried again for the family tradition of sparing the turkeys. We launched at Arnold Bay and stopped at a few usual locations looking at the sonar, but not seeing any signs of fish we crossed to the NY sid...

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving Everyone !

Great read as always Chessie Man !

Good to see there were some salmon biting. What were the water temperatures like ?

nicely done, that is one big fat salmon !
