Me too ;D You'll also find me on iceshanty during the winter.

Just started lookin at the site myself

Welcome to MFF. Take some time to view all the boards as they are set up a little different than on Iceshanty.
-

Yep, me too! Ice Shanty is awesome, so excited to see a site from the same folks for warm water!
-
shanty town, can't beat it!

Welcome all that have come over from IS, I joined MFF, IS, & MHF back in 2010, I haven't posted here much. I don't do that much open water fishing, not that I don't want to, it's just other things get in the way.
-
I should have said this before, my name on IS is ICE WANDERER, & on MHF I'm 30-30.
-
I've come here from the shanty as well, this is a great site with a lot of info but I find myself on iceshanty way more due to being laid off all winter and using iceshanty is great for reporting and finding out where the safest ice is and shooting the bull. This is busy time for me (roofing season) but I do fish a lot and will post how I do when I get the chance. On iceshanty, i'm beershanty.
-
Ice Shanty is great...hope this is just as good......
-
Hello everyone. I can't say I exactly got here from I.S. but I am aware of it. More of an open water guy than the hard stuff, but I will most likely make my way over there too later this season. From what I've seen on here everyone seems to be mostly helpful and a good community of people. I will do my best to add to the positive aspects of the site. I look forward to getting to know you guys and gals and sharing positive information to make the sport we all love better for everyone involved here.
-
How do I locate specific fishing areas on this site as I do on ice shanty
-
Is there a certain amount of posts until you can see the reports boards?

Yes its 3....

I guess it's time for those who fish the hard water to work there way back to iceshanty. The ponds and lakes here have been frozen here for a week. I can't remember when that has happened before Thanksgiving.
-
I was on 5" of ice yesterday just checking it... Will be back out there today with all the gear... ;D ;D

Getting nasty over on shanty!
-
Wish we had ice still but anxious for open water. First year on ice shanty....now here I am.
-
same boat here too boys, tight lines
-
Same here, first time and look forward to a great season with lots of posts :thumbup_smilie:
-
Same here! Just rolled over from iceshanty.
-
Ditto here. Just heard about this site from IceShanty. I wish I had known about this site sooner
-
Same here. Just in time for a good start for open water season.
-
finally figured out my new password was in my spam section of email
-
New to the site as well is this the same as ice shanty when you post twice you get reports and conditions.
-
Boggey's back. Looking to hook up with some of my river rat friends from last season. I know I will run into Trap with his brand new Shakespears.. Phoenix is all open and plan on hitting Fulton below the locks this am. Ice is almost all out. looking for some reports at Sylvan Beach before I drive all the way over there. Gas ain't cheap anymore. They just boosted it back up 10 cents again. :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
-
Made the jump over here from ice shanty
-
Just wanted to say thanks also for all the help.It is an hour drive for us to get to Chautauqua so it is nice to have an idea whats going on there. Thanks again..
-
Confused. I have five posts over the years but can't get reports page. I'll try a few posts and see what happens.
-
New to the site also found my way here from iceshanty. I enjoy reading the reports and conditions on there.. With the open water season there are so many options for places to fish, do the larger lakes take up most of the forum? Or are there Brook trout pond guys like me on this site too??
-
Score another hit from IceShanty.
Chas
-
+1 coming from the Shanty.
First year in W. NY, and what a disappointing winter. A few pannies down here (thanks to rgfixit and packerbacker) and a few pike/splake up in the North country with an old Navy buddy.
Hoping to turn that around for Spring, just popped on a new fishing boat. It's built, just waiting for them to ship.
I'm a 40 something professional. Live in Wayne county, but I work from home so I don't get out much unless craft beer, hunting or fishing is involved. ;D

Welcome to the site LightDrag.. ;D

just found my way here.whats up guys.Snow on the ground on the glen creek. :o :o :o
-
I like this site....I LOVE iceshanty - The mistress that haunts your every thought. lol
-
Hope you turned off the lights and locked the door when you left! ;D
-
Came over from ice shanty as well. Was only able to get out 3 times on the ice this year. Not a good winter at all. Just bought the new Garmin striker 5dv for my little 14ft boat. Can't wait to try it!!
-
Welcome aboard let us know how that garmin works.
-
Will do. Hoping to use it for ice fishing next winter as well.
-
Went out to hemlock this past Saturday and tried the Garmin out. It works really well. Could see my jig only a couple inches long down in the deeper water and watch the fish react to it. Pretty cool to watch that happen. So far pretty impressed with it for the price.
-
Yo Guys and Gals,
Let me start this early this year. The ice is waning rather quickly. Too quick for my taste. I am fastly turning my thoughts to soft water with visions of getting my new (used) boat ready for this spring. I bought a 18.5' 1984 Searay with an OMC motor and drive unit on craigslist. The old larson is still running so I will have some time to get the new, old boat setup for fishing. After replacing the deck on the Larson 2 times, I am relieved the Searay has a fiberglass deck. My mechanic hasn't finished checking out the mechanics of the boat yet ,but I have heard it run on the ear muffs and it sounds good to go. Wish me luck guys and gals that I have made a good purchase. You always have your heart in your hand when you purchase an older boat. I was lucky with the Larson and I might add, I pray a lot. :angel: :angel:
-
I'm with you on this one Boggey. 8) Last two days have been so nice that I've taken time to give my Starcraft a quick "eye" while it is resting in my new garage.
Let me know when you are ready to get out.
-
Yo Guys and Gals,
Hello Jim... Good to hear your out and about...

will be shore trolling browns Thursday or Friday on Ontario hopefully
-
Welcome aboard.
-
Hi guys. I'm sliding over from ice shanty. With that being said PLEASE be careful as we transition out of hard water. Sometimes we get the itch for one more but save that for open water fishing. Good luck everyone, glad to be here.
-
Welcome over Dougie I find my way over from shanty every yr also a little sooner this yr than in past yrs alot a fun over here just a touch quieter but lots a good stuff over and ppl....
-
So very nice to see the return of Jboggey. Your very informative and accurate reports were surely missed on IS. Best of luck with your SeaRay and may you fill her with a bountiful catch.
-
Also wandered over from ice shanty. Is this site fairly active in soft water season?
-
Yo Catfisher.
To answer your question. It is as active as we make it. Obviously, we get to spend a lot more time on soft water than hard water by it's very nature. Good weather, longer days and more fish to clean at evening when we get back home. This makes for less time to write of our exploits. Still , I usually manage to drop a few anecdotes by evenings end. I hope you will also find the time. Tell us all where your fav fishing spots are. Please include coordinates
:clapping: :clapping: :clapping:.
