In today’s age, musky anglers practice catch-and-release method

Admin: I fixed the link. Thank you Steve for posting this and thanks Scott K. for taking the author out.

Talked to booger at Waneta lake today.  He told me that yesterday a 51" musky managed to hook two fishermen.  It was a three treble lure.  The tail hook was in the fish, one of the other hooks was in the palm of one guys hand and the other hook was in the knuckle of the other guys finger (he caught the fish).  The guy with the hook in his palm just ripped it out.  The one in the knuckle had to be cut off.  Apparently he didn't have health insurance but I think they took him to the hospital…

WoW! I fish for one eleven hour day and I miss more activity in that time that the site has ever had.  In fact there are five members on-line right now and it's almost 11PM.

 It's too bad that some of the posts are trying to cast a shadow over what is without a doubt a 50" musky caught from our beloved Niagara.  Cullen's fish is glorious!  It is a cause for celebration!  It gives me hope.  It motivates me to fish better, longer and harder.  It strengthens my resolve to be ready when…

Good Day

FYI A very discouraging report for all.

Niagara River / Buffalo Harbor FIsheries Monitoring Report  Fall 2012

Region 9 Fisheries continued coorerative efforts with SUNY College of Forestry at Syracuse to monitor young Musky production and associated fish assemblages in near shore vegatated shallow of the river and harbor. Seining efforts produced "NO" young of the year (YOY) at two sites in the Buffalo Harbor. The first year since seining started in 2007 that…

I don't know how many out there know, but if you're thinking of winterizing soon, the NOCO gas station on Rte 5 across the old Bethlehem steel plant (and windmills) sells ethanol free gasoline.  It's their premium gas & sells for about $4.29/gal.  They're about two miles South of the SBH, right on Rte 5, on the left side as you're traveling toward Hamburg, just before you get to Woodlawn.  They started carrying eth-free this summer & ever since then, I used…

A Happy Veteran's to all you vets out there & thanks for serving.  Glad we made it back to fish for muskies & can get together for a good time at the meetings.  I hope you got to do what you wanted to today.

I can't imagine this club without Jojo. Like any club, a few key members do most of the work. the newsletter Scott puts out looks like a National publication.
Was that one of our guys who found the cadaver near Beaver Island marina? They showed a blue Starcraft on the news. I thought of our guys right away. You see duck and musky hunters out there this time of year, and not many others.

Jon MacSwan, our president for eleven of the club’s seventeen years of existence, was guilty of taking hard working members for granted and so am I.  I remember a board meeting years ago when Jon asked Tony Scime to accomplish some task and then capped off his request by saying, “that’s easy right?”  Tony replied with a resounding, “No!  It’s not!”  Tony was at the end of his rope.  He may have been a bit burned out with the club at the time and he gave the impression that he was going to…
