oops thats carogakid    lol fingers to knarled up to type.

Temps were good a few weeks ago, then we got this heat wave and it ruined our precious ice      . Everything up here is still completely open... Hopefully we'll get some colder temps this week...

[hard_water]

[dfpaul]

I'm not on the list either!! 

[esox slayer]

If anybody signed up after page 47 then your name will be added the next time I update the list.

In the past tourneys, there have been some people who did not list their home state in their registration post, that may or may not be the case..and lastly...I could have just plain old missed your name, but I'll catch it when I update....

Thanks Guys, Esox

I read your post on the 2007 Tourney board (gripes/suggestions) that you stated bass are illegal to catch after December 1st in New York.  Actually, the Fingerlakes of New York allow bass fishing thru March 31st (I believe) and the rest of the year (statewide) is catch-and-release with artificals only.  I assume by these regulations, we could "legally" CPR a bass (statewide) or CPK a bass (Fingerlakes) and be eligible for the Tourney.  Just a thought so NYers don't get disqualified when posting pictures of legal bass.

I'll dig out my reg book and clarify, and will correct my post if I am wrong...thanks for the heads up!!!  Esox

Ok, fellas . . . this lack of ice is making me real grouchy, giddy, and crazy . . .
 
I'll out-ice-fish anyone on the New York Roster.  We'll pick a body of water by mutual agreement.  Perch-only, jigging only.  No minnows allowed, only mousies or spikes or other recognized members of the grub family are allowed for live bait.   

Only 10"+ perch count. Highest weight wins, limited by whatever local creel limits are applicable.  Wager?  $50.00 per pound.  In other words, if I have 8 pounds and the opponent has 12 pounds, that's $200.00.

I think Sodus or I-bay would be the most appropriate venues.

Who's in?

OK, August, how 'bout this.  The loser has to filet the other guy's perch, and buy the wings and beer for him and his buddies afterwards . . .

Yep, with the exception of a few areas, NY has extended the bass season throughout the winter and spring as a C&R, artificial lures only rule. For the contest, my take is that if you get a bass on a lure (like a rap or chubby darter), you're a legal entry but if you catch a bass on bait (aka tip-up & minnow or jig with grubs), it's not eligble as a entry.     

We caught a number of monster bass here in NY on tip-ups last season  (while fishing for pike) but didn't enter them because they were out of season and entering them would be cheating. This is a free tourney and honesty should prevail.     

[1TIGGER]

Before any questions start about legal or illegal Bass entries ... why not eliminate Bass all together so there's no issues later ?
This tourney is supposed to be all for fun and if the mods or tourney director has to argue or explain why they cant accept the entry it kind of takes the fun out of it for them and I'm sure they have better things to do besides explain their decision .
Nip it now and there wont be a chance for issues later .
Just my .02

Bass or no bass, NY will kick everbody's A%%. I wouldn't worry too much as most NY waters are catch and release bass waters now.
