Otter? Never heard of it. Il probably stick to the river like I did on the Cayuga Seneca tournament it worked well for me.

Thanks John, the rivers are the limits (black X) the rest are launches paid and free.

No ones got anything on this place?

Well I thought things were starting to look up at work but turns out it was a bunch of lies. As some of you might remember I was given a huge responsibility back in April to go build a water park out of state for work. I I was told I would be paid X amount of money get X benefits and the list goes on and on. Well not one of them things ever happened. The whole time I was down there I was told my pay rate would increase and it never did. I sent a long polite email before the job concluded that if I wasn't given the back pay from the rate I promised or some sort of promotion or bonus I would be looking else where for employment. Well ive been back home for nearly two months and nothing has happened. I have had several meeting with the GM and supervisors quarterly reviews and just meetings about the work on Ohio. Been told numerous times I have the most potential of anyone in the shop and the best quality work hands down. Was told I would get a $1.50 raise back on June 1st which I still haven't received. So that brings me back to the email I sent. I seen a ad for a fiberglass fabricator on a local news website and sent them a resume. Had a email back the next morning wanting me to come in for a interview. Walked into the interview and was hired on the spot simply from my resume and the fact I'm coming from my current place of employment. The new shop is booming and they can't get people with the skills or that can stand the smell. Toured their shop talked numbers and benefits and while the shop I'm at now pays better by a lot the new place really really wants me to work for them. Our hourly rate was a bit off as the rate I'm at now well what I should be getting with the $1.50 raise I have yet to get anyways is only $.50 lower then their highest paid guy. They said though they will be able to match it just to get me there and after a few months give me the rate I requested once they get a feel for what I can do. It's a half hour farther so an hour each way which so far has been the only down side I have found. They are willing to match my pay, start me with benefits so I don't have to wait a year, the hours are better it's 6-430 Monday - Thursday as opposed to 630-3 Monday-Friday and occasionally Saturday. The new place is also a union shop which I'm iffy about but it gives me the protection that I don't have and we desperately need at the current shop. I am leaning heavily on taking the new job simply for the stress relief and better work environment. I have a meeting with the supervisor, owner, general manager, accounting guy and union rep Monday. From the phone call I had today the supervisor and the owner are willing to do what ever it takes to get me there it's the accounting guy who's being the tightwad. Should be intresting to see how it all shakes out. My current GM and supervisor are aware and well one doesn't want to see me go the other said he's not gonna stop me from bettering myself. Then asked why I wanted to leave and what he had to do to get me to stay. I told him I'm sick of being lied to and treated like I don't matter but giving me all the work load alone of all our major product lines and not getting appreciated. I also added that he told me I would get commission of any sales from me going to Ohio. Then reminded him about bragging that because of me and my late nights in dinner meetings with the owner of the waterpark company we just got a $589,000 order for water slides solely from my hard work and talking business and manufacturing with the owner while I was there. I told him I'll settle for .5% which isn't much considering how much the sale is. ill know next week what I'm doing and if my current employer will do anything to keep me considering the two products I work on ships and brings in $40,000 in revinue a week from me alone and I'm the ONLY one with the knowledge or skills to do the two jobs because they have ignored my numerous requests for a helper.

So I picked up a GoPro knock off today and so far I'm pretty impressed. It was used but in new condition. He had a bunch of videos on the card from snow mobiliing and dirt bike racing. Anyways I have it now for kayak fishing but have no idea how to edit and make videos. Is there a program I need for my lap top to make videos? My lap top is old also at least 8years but Windows 10 downloaded itself on it a while ago so it has the newest version. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I crawl it down a slope and I want to get threw weeds in spots. I don't think 3/8 is all that heavy I have 1oz tied on most the time.

Always wanted one never can afford one

Quarry is 100' deep in areas I wanted to get deep I haven't gotten to the bottom yet though.

It's kinda limited but not bad I've never caught anything big from the banks even the sunfish are little by the banks

It's a 12" zoom mag ol worm t rigged with a 3/8oz tungsten bullet weight worked along the wall.

Don't know about by the school. If you come out Thursday shoot me a message I might be able to meet up with ya after work. Parking wise for the quarry I pull down the little dirt "ramp" on the left in the pic. I never fish the one on the south side of the road other then threw the ice. That's ones the big swimming spot always packed with underage drinkers jumping off the cliff. I stick to the big one on the north side and the spill way just north of that one

Lyndonville above the falls is pike and bass go threw the weeds and go into the channel up past the school flipping all the timber. Below the falls is smallie central go behind the fire hall and walk the trail to the north or kayak it but you will scratch what ever you float in. Hulberton quarries are on canal rd between fancher rd and hulberton. The one closest to fancher is private but the big one on the north side is where I usually go and them two big large mouth came from its also less then a quarter mile from my house.

I've been having a lot of luck a little east of buffalo tons of nice smallies and some nice large mouth. All fish are coming from johnsons creek in Lyndonville and the hulberton quarry's

I fish a small creek few times a week for smallies and I park upstream put my kayak in and float down hammering them all the way down then turn around and hammer them all the way back to my truck. I use weightless flukes, small poppers, shakey heads, jigs, mans minus 1 cranks. The creek o fish is only 3' at most in some holes the rest is less then a foot. Smallies are scattered all over and in good numbers and size.

Any one with any info on this lake? I've got a kayak tournament there next Saturday

With the wildy boats and others besides hobies you just pedal backwards and your going in reverse no reaching down to pull a lever that spins the fins on the hobies backwards. Also if I'm not mistaken hobies need 18" of water to work. With the helix pedal drive in our boats they slide up and out the way so there is no draft or very little depending on how far up and out you move the drive. The he one I see making a big wave will be the pescador pilot at only $1800 for a stable pedal driven kayak it's gonna be impossible to beat on a budget. As far as the ATAK 120 I will have one in my fleet as soon as it's available. Then I'll sell the 140 and put that towards a radar 135 with the pedals for tournament and big water fishing.

Radar Pricing: -We have a limited edition that comes with both Helix MD & PD and accessories for $4899. -Base level Radar 115 is $1349 -Base level Radar 135 is $1499 -Pedal Drive is $1100 -Motor Drive is $1999 http://www.wildernesssystems.com/us/experience/news/article/flex-pod-os-console-compatibilities

I'd get one in shark just to mess with people in the lake

Word is and don't hold me to it but rumor on the pro page floating around is $1800 for the perception pilot and $2600 for the radar with ruder and pedal drive. $1700 for the ATAK 120. Again this isn't solid but it's been the most consistent "rumor" even to us Prostaff guys. Im contemplating selling my ATAK 140 for the radar 135 and a ATAK 120 for the creeks and rivers I hit.

Pedal drive on a budget!

Well word got out before icast Wednesday so I thought I'd share with you guys here.

Headed to either conesus our boughton tomorrow in the kayak. Either one I just need some solid fish for the KBF tournament.

I've been getting a number that calls be 3-4 times a day now never used to leave a message but now they do. Can't understand the robot but she butchers my name then goes on to say I've been awarded $7000 in a settlement. Wish this one wasn't a scam but I'm sure it is.

It's not advice it's just what I heard they were called. I took my ex wife on my canoe once it was a disaster lol

You know what they call tandem kayaks?......divorce makers. Just saying lol. Being a a wildy rep I am gonna suggest their boats but one I don't think anyone has mentioned is a commander 140. Not a tandem kayak but it's a hybrid hat you could easily put her in and handle it solo. Then like mentioned is the ATAK with the helix drive. Kayak ways 86lbs helix motor and battery is 15lbs so total weight before adding gear is 101lbs which is lighter then any other kayak with a similar set up. It's also a lot of boat to transport and on a Honda Civic is gonna be crazy looking as is any of the above kayaks.
