Awesome Rick! That's the same spot I've been baiting up all season so far with similar results. Good to see you're getting out fishing! Hopefully I'll bump into you when I'm up next.
-
Great stuff guys!
-
I'll be there. No need to pre-bait Kissena though! It's not big enough, no need to fill them up before we get there.

If it is Blue Green Alge, the fish had no chance. I've seen the effects of it first hand. It kills everything. It sucks, but they are going to have to drain the lake, re-stock everything and take control of the Alge in future. I'm surprised that no one spotted the alge and reported it before it got this far?

I have about 100 screaming runs while I'm driving home from Baldwinsville every year, I even struck into my steering wheel! lots of fish and lack of sleep...

No dumping bait. The only bait is that is which is around your hook or lead. All baits must be fished (( on the bottom of the pond )). No float fishing or anything in between.
Now, having said that, you still might have a point there. Just cant see you attracting many fish with three maggots.
there are ways around it...no need for a float. you can just watch the elastic fly (I've done it before, lots of fun). Also How about if you stick a pva bag (maybe doubled or heavy ply so you can slide the pole out) on your hook? Maggots? I would use a pva bag full of puffs, boilies, whatever takes your fancy. Come on Tom, give it a go! You never know!

No barbels (barbules for Keith Thompson) = goldfish.
Does it? How about if the Goldfish side took the barbels away. Hence a hybrid. Too straight forward an answer for such a weird fish MR. O
-
I was there when they caught this. I would say it's not a goldfish. It had flecks of orange on it's stomach, but it was clearly a carp with long a$$ fins.
Two great guys, we fished next to.

Carry a catapult and some 3 oz leads, you'll be fine
Or even better, just tie a 3oz lead fly, I heard they work pretty well for annoying boats

Joel, you know you have to think that way! If not, you've beat yourself! just give me a call, I'll be stopping along the way.
Tom, my mother always taught me to stay away from old men who offer you things

I can't wait! Love this event, We will win it this year
-
Monsters, congrats Fugas! Are these from Slovakia? Or where in Europe?
Beautiful, every single one of them! I'll see you in the summer, no doubt.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. Florin and I had a great time. That was my first 30 and it took a long time in coming, so I am a happy boy
-
Nice going Kev, great fish pre and during.. but did you take that last pic of the fish at the dam this year ?
Yes, that pic was taken after the tournament, they were stacked up against the dam wall, on eachothers backs!

Had a great week on the way and at Baldwinsville last week, it was my second time there and after fishing last year's tournament with Joel, I had been looking forward to it pretty much as soon as the season began for me this year. On the way up to b'ville with my partner for this year's event, Florin, we decided to stop for a few days at a reservoir on the way up, which turned out to be a great move. In the 2 days, we managed 5 fish, all over 20lb with Florin's biggest being 29lb and me upping my PB from 29lb to 39lb on the money.
Happy with our great results, we made our way further north on Wednesday morning to Baldwinsville. B'ville is a great place and I applaud everyone involved in setting this event up. They did a great job from start to finish.
Florin and I drew peg 42 (end peg). The morning of the tournament we arrived at our peg excited and set up ready for the tournament to start and by 9:02am Florin had a hook pull on a fish right before the net. We thought we were going to be on the fish straight away. Unfortunately the bite then stopped for most of the day and the strong winds and the rain had us running in and out of our bivvys to re-cast and throw a few balls of bait out. By the evening the rain had stopped and the winds calmed down and almost as soon as it did, the fish began again, not as quickly as last year, but we ended up catching around 15 fish by the time the morning came round including a few nice 20's we were happy that none of the other teams were uncatchable by that point, but we'd need a good second day to stand a chance. But the second day and night was slow for us to say the least, we tried everything we could, but could only manage another 7 or 8 fish The fish were just not anywhere to be seen, however to end the tournament on a happy note, I was woken up by a screaming run at about 3am which ended up being my fish American mirror weighing in at 20lb. We ended up with just over 200lb of well earned fish in the 50 hours, not a winning weight by a long way, but a great tournament none the less. It was great seeing some old faces and meeting some new ones and the fish there still fight harder than most places I have ever fished. Here's a few pics from the event.

It IS??!??
Well, fat. But more of a beer belly on it, not an all round fatty like yours, maybe it was just starting the Osmond diet
-
I've got a big fattie PB to show you all this eve, when I've lightened the photo up a bit. It's a bit longer, bit fatter, but definately on the Osmond diet
Well done Scotty!! You the man!
-
That is a HUGE rudd! Congrats!

My pleasure, just keep doing the same for me, if we keep the bait going in (you're just a little bit closer than me) who knows what will show up! I'll be up in a few weeks. i'll give you a call. Again, congrats!
