Bill "Musky" Modica's Comments

Thanks!  i did fish the ice there 4 times this year.  Only found some nicer gills one day.  My  biggest this winter there was 9 3/8.  Kept looking for the 10's but they seem to be fewer the last couple years.  2 years ago there was a die off of big gills shortly after iceout and I don't think they've recovered yet. May have been VHS but I think it happened at a time when no one noticed so no research was thought to be necessary.  I mentioned it to the DEC and they put it off as "winter kill".   I did better on the perch over there and actually caught a couple of decent walleyes.  The bass seem to be running larger as well. The snow and wind around here was tough this year.  I actually live on Silver Lake.  You can fill a bucket here any day but very few will truly approach 9.  I hear about loads of 9's but any time you actually see them or put a tape on "em , they're only 7 to 8 1/2's.  I just love catching them on the light rods

Bill thanks for the chat this Morning, I have been on a Texas pond form most of the afetnoon about my pond. Seem I just need to try and keep feeding and the real review will be in the spring. Keep the foxes away from your catch lol Magnolia Rick

Hey Bill, just a note to let you know that your videos are not only fun to watch, but very informative. For years my kids have always been finicky about fish if any bones are present, even the miniscule pin bones. I've taken up your cleaning method. The video worked.You definetly have a knack for teaching and entertaining. Anyway, thanks again.

Hey BiLL!!!!! Its been a while! Hope all is good in your neighborhood.

If she calls you could you be her big bluegill>>>>> SLEDGE HAMMER!
