[CNY Tim]

Sounds like a circle off, LOL... Thanks for report Dark Cloud missed ya yesterday..

[CNY Tim]

It's raining good here boys

[Thunderman]

Johnny,looks like you had an awsome time on silver it must be nice to get into the perch .Im lucky if ive put a dozen on the the ice so far this short season.good job man.If you can get back out on the ice BE SAFE safty first give them a$$ wooping .

[Thunderman]

Tim I would be more than glad to join you and franky on a road trip as long as franky eats some (beeno) before he goes Ive heard about those trips .There is something about strawberry bass kinda gives me a outy .Give me a call hopefully the ice conditions will be good.

[lesterl]

Thanks for the advice, I went to oneida lake today all I cought was white bass and 1 smallmouth, fun anyway. By the way I am from Madison.

[CNYFrank]

Thunderman . . .I am thinking that your nickname is in direct proportion to your affluence . . . Come along and enjoy that new LX5!

[CNYFrank]

John Boy . . .great fishing!! Wish we were there. Need to get the State to build a direct road to your stompin' grounds. I expect us to get into something like that if we are lucky enough to be at the right spot at the right time.

Z smacked em again on C, 5 other guys out there a little left off LC all with limits. Heading east to fish with ENY Tyler Saturday with Franky and Thunderman hoping the noreaster that there talking about doesn't hit them too bad. If it does C is my only other option this weekend and not a bad option either... Shoreline was a little sloppy but still a good 12" of ice out there. Fish with a partner this time of year and have the ice picks ready.. Goodluck to all this weekend. Tank how's that cold?

[insurance guy]

The Berkshires and the east facing slopes are going to get some serious snow from the sounds of it which might make it tought out that way Tim. Just have to wait and see what it looks like. We're still planning on hitting Robb's crappie spot for part of the day on Saturday. I have to be back home by about 4pm Saturday so I can't fish for too long plus I like to sleep in at least one day a week

[CNY Tim]

Thanks John I am seeing the same thing here from the weather babe here looks like C maybe option 2 unless something radically changes. Waiting on Bud's report tomorrow from Tyler before we make the call..

Thunderman thanks for the lazer cover bud, much appreciated

[Dark Cloud]

Timmy - Dads cold has him dragging a bit. He made ham and bean soup today, by the smell of things hes blowing the cold out the back end. Him and Billy are hitting C tomorrow. Then depending on the weather we'll be up sat or sunday...

[Thunderman]

Franky, im in I know this could be one of the last times out this year as long as i get to use this LX-5 there will be a smile on my face .Im looking foward to fish with you guys saturday I have a feeling its going to be a hay day .

[CNY Tim]

Hope Tank and Billy get em good... Jay sounds like the post nasal drip is heading south with that type of tonic hope billy will be fishing upwind of Tank

Tyler- Jiminy Christmas sounds like 7" here versus the 9 to 13" of snow there is shaping up alot better for us to stay local. Call you later but I'm thinking C right now., it's unfortunate because Frank and I had a real great time down there with you and the boys but it's a long enough haul without the heavy snow/mix that for safety we may stay here. I know Frank will be ripping me on this but there's always next weekend. Let's see what Bud has to say, but there is plenty of fish to be caught here right now with C giving up some sweet catches of late. Call ya tonight

[CNYFrank]

you mean like, hey, hey , hey . . .pass the beer . . .it is St Patty's day after all . . .and me being Irish . . .yeah right.

[CNYFrank]

I heard that's a very effective way to get rid of a cold!

[CNYFrank]

You are right Tim . . .I'll be down to your office later to rip one . . .

[insurance guy]

Now it sounds like we will get a foot minimum in the Albany area up to the southern Dacks with two feet possible in the Greens and Berkshires off to our east I gotta make sure I have gas for the snowblower and I might be clearing snow tomorrow instead of fishing

[ENYTYLER]

TIM just got the update on the weather looks like 12-18 inches , snow to start today around 12 . The best time to fish right in the middle of the storm have to wait and see what happens . bud is going to check the shore later today but I cant see there being a problem keep you posted as the info comes in

[Dark Cloud]

Talked to dad about 9:30, they were into fish - not as thick as the past few days though. But they were about half way to a limit already... Started to snow here...

[CNY Tim]

Just talked to Tank and there about 30 min away from him and Billy limiting out

[tank]

Billy and I limeted out today. no hogs but alot of nice fish.

[Thunderman]

Tim, Franky it was nice fishing with you guys yesterday although we only got 1 keeper perch and allot of small perch.We did catch fish . Franky i hope you made out OK yesterday?Well im off to the big O this morning dont know where yet gonna try for some perch again maybe the N shore and then hit BB this afternoon for some plates ive got to keep this new MARCUM warmed up if you know what i mean.I think I might bring my KITE with me so if I dont catch any fish there will be something else to do .

[CNYFrank]

Well I really appreciated that guy running into the back of the trailer!!! No damage to the snowmobile or Tahoe, but the coupling on the trailer needs to be replaced. Also need a left rear light on the trailer. The guy was very apologetic and only lived a quarter mile down the road . . . left everything at his house. Had a "spare" coupler in the garage and will head his way in about an hour to replace and tow back home. Have all week to find a rear light. The first thought I had when I called it in to the police was . . . 2 beer breath and no gum!!! Might head out to the O later after I get the trailer home. BTW BassPro is having a sale until the 25th. Bring a working reel in to donate to a kid's program and get $15 credit toward a new one. Belated Happy Birthday to Wayno!!

Sorry to hear about your accident Frank...

I hit Silver yesterday morning and fished with the Wizard. While waiting for him, I talked to the other three guys going off the same area where I was, and come to find out it was the guys that finished first and second place in this year's TA. They were missing the fourth guy, I guess.

I did Ok....the perch were picky...ended up with 18 keepers 9" and above with 3 at the 11" mark. Caught a lot of throwbacks. No HOGS this time....the Wizard did about 5 keepers. We fished from 7am till noon. We had to walk the plank near shore, but once on the main basin, it was a solid 10" of good ice. 6" of fresh snow made the drag a little tough from the storm. The drive down was terible; a few places on the roads were not even plowed, and it was snowing pretty good at the time. White knuckle time for me!!

That might have been my last time out, but I just looked as the Astro table and Tuesday looks hot. I feel another cold coming on

Thanks Frank.
