Since i bet alot of you already know me from iceshanty, i figured i'd just do my 04' open water year in review in pictures
i like to get on the local streams and rediscover the leaks in my neoprenes in april
rainbows are fun too, my buddy and i teamed up for these.
The lakers can be fun to catch on champlain in the spring, their not monsters, but they come pretty easily
i do the crappie thing on occasion
In the summer, i mainly fish bass tournies for money, but sometimes i'll spend a bit of time on other fish. i spent alot of time on saratoga lake (last year 4-5 days per week, mostly after work) made possible because i ran the lake lonley boat livery last year.
nice 27" saratoga eye
thin pike
Like i said, i do alot of bass fishing
heres a couple of nice bass from my first tourney win this year
nice evening bass on a risto rap
heres a nice 5lber from a secret pond
another 'toga bass
Here's a pic of the big tourney win i had this year, 19lbs for 5 fish, and lunker at 4.79lbs - saratoga lake of course
nice one from late fall
some fall river smallies from my favorite place to fish
In the fall, i also fish lake ontario tribs from salmon and trout
here is a typical salmon river salmon
dark steelhead
here is my friend with a big rainbow (not steelhead)
caught a few brown trout, too
not too bad for one season
open water will be here soon
