as said no, only get paid to play with the big boys .. 550 million is not in my budget

maybe I could post a few pics when iI get home tonight. working 12 hour days but getting to post some via phone since my boss is off. i like when he's gone. too hot for man or beast here to leave the ac anyhow.
will put stuff up but from my area and travels this year since we're all keeping this thing going all summer. pretty cool to have posts here besides sept and oct then done!

Hey HT you should try to get upnorth to come back if you can get ahold of him. I miss that dude.

PM is our friend.

Edited for salmo's sake... griffonn I agree that there are really no secrets up there...

Atleast I refrained from a specific spot....

PM sent... you have been hooked and released for another day samentrotter. No spot burning rule was broken period (you are a moderator on a private website, at least understand the rules before you chastise others) It is a beautiful river, knowing every inch of it is something anyone could/should be proud of. Silver can bring out the best and worst of people, but the resource is still beautiful and priceless. Perhaps you should appreciate the resource, the locals, and yes even the visitors a little more. Best of Luck, Griffon.

Again, ignorant comments made by someone who thinks they know more than they do. For what it's worth, I seldom find a need to buy tackle. You are a guide on a river (not the only one to ever pull that gig...) and a moderator on a private board. If you really want to go back and forth, let's discuss the best brook trout stream to fish between Pulaski and Millinocket. Trust me, there are people who can educate you if you will listen, hence the reason I asked a question I really did not know much about with hopes of learning something. Dimebrite was nice enough to supply information, and I may (or may not) take it from there. I hope you behave more professionally in your service than you do here. Again, best of luck.

Not angry at all. Just don't like trolls that hijack threads. Particularly when they are moderators. There is not another moderator on this website that would conduct themselves as you have. Perhaps Dan would be interested in your behaviors and your obvious dislikes towards FishUSA's business practices.

Seems about right, you chastise your members for sharing information totally within the guidelines of the website, don't share any yourself, then claim that their comments really don't bother you but then blame others who call you out... Sounds like a lot of fun. Perhaps you need to chill out or maybe even grow up a bit, just sayin ... Here is the solution. The next time someone asks a question, feel free to answer it. If you are feeling that your answer might violate the terms and conditions of the website (ie spot-burning) feel free to use the pm key. If others choose to provide information but do not violate any rules and you have nothing constructive to add, shut your pie hole... FYI and back on topic, there are numerous medium to large size streams the flow into the great lakes which do not contain many (or any) decent smallmouths through the summer months once the spawn has completed (thinking you may not have known that due to your limited ability to provide information ). Rather, those fish opt to head for deeper water in the ranges of 20-35 feet (typically we catch them on dropshots, tubes, tungsten spoons or a variety of vertical baits). On the other hand, some tribs will hold smallies (typically not the 5-8 lb. hammers of spring) throughout the summer and my question was simply whether or not the river was worth pursuing. You started the controversy and need to get over yourself. To this point, I have asked a question and you still have not offered a single bit of constructive information regarding the river and it's summer fishery so feel free to jump in and stay on topic at any time. Thanks Again, Your Happy Friend Griffon.

Yes they do... come over to Erie sometime. An 8 pound smallie is huge but not out of the realm of possibility. Every year anglers land fish in that class. Dunkirk and Northeast would be good starting points.

You've got a lot to learn when it comes to mod baiting.
As far as hijacking threads it should be a hanging offense.
I can't imagine anything more obnoxious and babyish, except for some Dbag whining about it.

Stay, go, troll ,whine. Whatever!
No one here thought they were missing anything before your first post and I'm pretty sure that no one, except maybe DB will miss you if you stop posting.
You are a nobody till someone with cred on the board vouches for you or until you prove it by your posts.
So far you've got neither going for you.




Oh I almost forgot.
Welcome aboard.

drake,two years ago I brought to hand a 36" male steely with tremendous girth on Elk Creek,what do you figure that guy weighed?Never took him out of the water but did measure his length,no camera as I never carry one.Caught a couple 10# fish that day also,they went about 30".They're not all 6 lbers in Erie :)

98.9% are 6 lbers..

Conrats - you gotz the Needle in the Haystack.

I fished the Erie "criks" once...
Once was enough for me.
Crowd overload. Can't see takin a 6 hr drive again.

Different strokes 4 different folks.


p.s. IMO - the Slammin River will soon mirror Erie Streams with Steelhead fish size - thanks to the unscientific,PETA-like,feel-good,PC BS creel limit reductions.

Have no idea what this has to do with the topic of the thread but... most times when I find a "spot" where I am continuously catching fish it becomes very boring to me.. The challenge is gone and at that point I move.. I read all the time how folks have sore arms from hooking 50 or more salmon > fish , in a day.. Really ? That may be possible (I guess) but what’s the challenge in staying in one spot hooking that many.. Seems more like shooting fish in a barrel to me.. A few fish an outing keeps my arms sore enough but I'd rather keep my legs limber and learn as much as possible about the fishery..

I mean no disrespect to those who enjoy catching large numbers and that is all fine too but only suggesting there is more then just catching..

This thread should be canned
