New member from WNY

[icechopper]

Actually I am new to posting. I have been lurking since last year, and I am finally going to make an effort to get more involved. I am from the WNY area and I fish Silver, Case, Erie mostly, however I do travel elsewhere from time to time. I am planning on hitting Case this weekend, and I will post with a report. Good luck and tread lightly on this thin ice.

Icechopper,
Where in WNY are you from?  Don't forget to sign up for the tourney.  The more people that beat the Maine boys the better.

I do o.k. early ice. After the first couple of weeks the fishing gets tough on this lake.

Welcome from the Fingerlakes! I fish Keuka and Honeoye primarily. Some on Conesus and were looking at Silver. Would like any tips on that lake we've never fished it before. Everyone says that its difficult? Thought that it might be worth the challenge.Those Maine boys had better be busy catching Lobsters I'm hungry.

Welcome former lurker, get into the tournament, all it takes is one fish.
Keep posting!!!

[icechopper]

Thanks for the welcome guys. I am in the tournament. Now it looks like I have an excuse to buy a new digital camera. I am sure it will fit down the hole just like my cell phone. My wife and kids think I am crazy. At least i'm not alone.
