Center Punch

i wouldnt attempt to go especially since all this rain we are getting right now-but if your heard desires and river goes down dont let these guys discourage you from going just because of the hills as cardiac hill is not too bad-just long gradual hill and if you dont take your time it can take its toll on you(hill was named after someone who had heartattack while coming up the hill) suicide on the other hand is dangerous, especially when the ground is wet. one fall and you will find yourself tumbling to the bottom in banged up shape. (lets just say that it takes about 5 mins to get down to the river but you can almost throw a rock from the parking lot and hit water) anyway, i dont know how the fishing will be since flooding. hopefully it washed some holes out and not just cut the banks

ekl-stl its good to see that the 31 inch fish is still alive- i caught him last year- my buddy pointed out that the fish i caught is that same one and if you compare every marking its the same fish my pic wasnt as good though. it is posted at the bottom of the montauk page that is under the thread "photo essay"

nice pics man

nice fish-glad to see he is still out there

fished sunday with the water off color, up, and fast, sight fishing was basically out of the question unless you were real close to the bank on fast moving water-i fished for about 3 hours and landed 18 to 2 dozen. i did not use anything with an indicator. i tried a few things: t and a rainbow-caught 3 smaller fish on it. olive leech-caught several on it. black leech-only a few looks. so i went back to olive with a olive zonker and that was key. i got a ton of hits and a couple bruisers to follow-one commited and i missed and the other just followed it. anyway, it was a better than expected day considering the water clarity. fish sizes varied from around 10 inches up to around 16 inches. and were all caught in zone 1 below the spillover dam and the stretch from the bridge down to the hatchery outlet

sweet great catch patfish!

yeah. i had the green one at first(still have it) but now you will probably see me with the big blue one-also got at anglers and archery

who can and cannot come sat jan 19th

made an outing today to see what was cookin- got there around 9:30. few people down but not many. found nice fish at granny hole- for those of you who know it can be very tricky drift so i drifted a big olive leech and the fish hit it first cast-the fish wasnt as big as i thought he was however but a nice 19 inches or so. then i moved down to fast water below upper bridge and picked up a few but didnt see any big ones so i moved on. caught a few fish on bottom side of step hole where it spills over with one going maybe 3 lbs. moved down and found alot of fish schooled up but i usually dont fish for these fish. fished the upside portion of bathroom hole with no luck for big ones-the bottom side produced another fish that would have went about 3 lbs. after walking the length of the park, i did not find a fish that i could definitely say was over 5 lbs. Last year, usually you would see at least 3 or 4. i know there are a few in there but they dont like me. anyone finding them this year or are you guys seeing the same things i am seeing?

Are you a machinist?just curious because your nick no, actually i shoot alot of archery and my shooting group always called me that because i usually waxed their you know...
