Check out this post on LOU about a fisherman's encounter wit a falcon that ate a trout he caught. You will have to read through the replies to get to the video and the explanation.

Ultimate snagger on video

Here is a post on LOU from Chad Lappa as he tried to get out on Chautauqua today.

End of season

It makes me wonder if the SBH launch is clear of ice.

Going to the Larry this weekend with Toothy and Mark Marcus for an outing with MI 69 and we are going to have our monthly meeting there on Saturday evening. Will report next week, hopefully with some pics.

I thought I would pass this along in case anyone is interested. They are $50 off today only. $99.99.

Inflatable life vest at West Marine.

I think you would need a bigger set of pliers.

My sister sent this to me.

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…

For those who are interested, here is a link to purchase a NYS fishing license online.  After you purchase it, you can print the receipt which you can use as proof of license (for 14 days) until you receive the permanent license in the mail.

I just wanted to give Scott the praise he deserves for creating and managing such an awesome site.  I know it is still early in the year but I would like to nominate Scott for the NMA Memorial award.  Not only for the work he has done on the site but also the newsletter, the Pig Roast and all he has done to create such a great social atmosphere within the NMA.



It is also great that the membership on the site is now up to 76 and still climbing.

I'm going to be at Conesus lake…
