Thanks for the welcome from everyone. Lance turned me onto the site. Those were my two biguns from last year. Thanks for posting the pics Lance. The 2nd one is at the taxidermist. Really kinda funny. The bottom one was 13 1/2 lbs and I got that one first and brought right to the taxidermist. I got the top one a couple weeks later. That was just over 12lbs. The top one in my opinion is a much prettier fish and wish that one is at the taxidermist. Maybe this year as the top one went back down the hole to fight another day. I owe most all of my laker success to Lance though. He showed me the way and I am a laker finatic now. I was also told of the get together and I look forward to being apart of one next time.

Hello all, I see a few faces on here I recognize so I figured I'd register and add my .02$.
                My name is Mike(Mikey)and I spend just a little bit of time fishing.Mostly after bass and pike except in the winter time.Winter mostly pannies,perch,and the almighty lakers.Three years ago I didn't even ice fish but Lance got me hooked and now I am an addict.Lance told me about the sight and I came over and saw my ugly mug so I figured I might as well introduce myself.
             I see my buddy BB is here too.I read about his love of the NFL and couldn't help but laugh.I know he loves it just don't make any bets with him.He still owes me lunch from a dolphins - cowboys game a few years ago.I'm still holding you to it to B.
         I look forward to reading and sharing some pots/pics with you guys.
                                                                             Tight Lines,

reel i found a great dropshot rig to save time for fishing! forgot to copy link but tell me if you agree.. tie an octopus gami to the main using a polamor knot some 20" up from tag end.. now here is the time saver .. tie a two turn over hand knot for a drop weight of choice..when and if snagged the two turn knot should fail and all is saved but a weight to quickly retie.. better than losing a barrel,weight leader and hook!

Yuppers I agree - or just pinch a split shot on the end .....

Welcome again, Walt!

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself up at Loon.  And even happier to hear that your kids had a good time.

By the way- they were very cool kids.  Nice, well-mannered, and obviously interested/excited in seeing what happens once a tip-up flag is waving in the air.  You're lucky to have such good kids, and its great you are able to get back to NY often to see them.

I am sure we'll cross paths again while you are in town.  If not, I will see you next Christmas on the local pike pond!

 
Welcome aboard Steve's brother, i met him last year on the ice ... but missed the recent Loon trip. Maybe i'll see ya in the future.
 
 
Welcome aboard Crappie, pretty sweet that your that close to the big lake. Anybody call you Cozmo ?
 
 
Enjoy Men

Hey all, I hail from Jamesville NY, Outside of Syracuse. We fish Oneida lake for bass, walleye and perch. Then we hit all the beautiful local streams for trout, butternut, limestone, nine mile creek. Love just going out and enjoying nature, I cannot wait until trout season starts. Anyway I know it's not Eastern, NY but it looks like CNY is gettin' no love on these boards. I figured I would neighbor with you cats.

Welcome Aboard...

Hi.  My name is Patrick (Pat).  I live in the Saratoga area and serve in the military.   I have 2 hobbies.   Fishing and running.   Dont golf or any othe stuff as it would cut into my fishing time.   I picked up a bassboat 2 years ago and dont get home much anymore other than to grab the boat.   I love bass fishing but often fish for NP and other fish that are hitting.  I am also a C&R guy.   Dont even like the taste of fish.   Dont figure.    

I can see from the many posts that there are alot more people like me than I thought.

Eagle Ed,
 
Thanks.   I have been thinking of expanding to Cossayuna Lake, Lake George, Caroga and Canada lakes.  I want to do a little more on the Mohawk and northern Hudson Rivers too.   I usually fish Saratoga, Lonely, Ballston and the now posted Round lake.
