Fishing Report - 11/20

[Scott McKee]

Team Beefcake (Mike Fortunate and I) cast, trolled and jigged from 9AM to 6PM today. I lost a mid-thirty or so on a 10" Believer in Bare Bones Naked Perch.  We had fifteen to twenty follows (I stopped counting at ten).  We would move them on cranks and jigs and none of the son's of so-and-so's would strike.  I am on a cold streak a mile wide.  Team Beefcake is going to super size them tomorrow.  I have no idea what that means, but Mike and I will be out there doing it all day.

He got a 38.5 ... U drunk mike? Lol

[Mike "the facilities" Fortunate]

John he must have caught a case of musky fever after 3 days with no fish a 38.5 must have made him cross eyed and probably brought him to tears! Lol

Tried to bring the luck by bringing the charm.  Went fishing with Cullen today, we went 7 for 7.  The water was scary clear and action was actually slow most of the day.  All the action came in 2 wild and brief windows including a 3 fish drift set up next to Scott Kitchen.  Lots of fat 40-43" fish in our system right now.

7 for 7 did Cullen go into the "Oh My God" mode? He has two Slime Hand Prints on his Skull Hat already!

Larry to activate "oh my god mode" with Cullen it just takes 1 big big fish. I've seen it go in to effect with a 46" tiger, an almost 30lb laker from shore, his 12lb spring Atlantic, my fat night 47 from this year and my 37" buck Steelie that put $1200 in our pockets with a spring loc win. Of course he was over the top from the 50" slob you put us on and I'm sure he really lost it when he hit his 2nd 50 just 3 days later. It's awesome to see that kind of excitement come from this great fishery we have here in wny.

Holy crud....a 37inch Steele. Post a pic please. Happy Thanksgiving

[John Pensyl]

It won the spring loc 3 years ago.. caught him from the lower with the pin. 17.1lbs at shore and 16.6 official after he Jizzed all over the rocks and slimed the back f my truck. 2nd place was over 4lbs lighter. Post spawn may fish or he probably would have been another couple pounds. Muskies have been a great distraction from my steel obsession but come Dec 16th ill be pillaging the tribs once again.

Shhhhhh! not so loud John, otherwise the world will show up & WNY will be like Burt's.  This is world class, here.  Steelies & salmon for the Fall run, muskies in Nov, hard water fishing thru Jan/Feb, the smelt run in the spring, another steelie run in the spring, perch & walleye all summer, & then we start all over again.

If this is heaven, take me now!!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  We got a lot to be thankful for.
