  1. Tons of dead skunks around Skaneatles and I saw robins!
  2. Perhaps you might be interested in one of these? https://www.amazon.com/Celebrity-Machines-Seinfeld-Kramers-ASSMAN/dp/B00E0LV4GE
  3. Maybe he was sponsored by DelMonte?
  4. Unfortunately I can’t grind my dogs like I would like. My pointer has a condition called Exertional Rhabdomyolosis that causes skeletal muscle break down on heavy running. She will start pissing blood after 1hr.
  5. Piers will be iced over. Bait won’t be in until April. They will be keying on gobies in water between 20-30’. Wait on the pier thing.
  6. YES!!
  7. The earthquake was from the seismological shift of Oak Orchard charter captains realizing that the eye sticker should be placed on the nose of the spoon .....not on the rear.
  8. Ended the season on a high note. Rarely is a grouse set up perfect. The bird was where it was suppose to be, the dogs flushed it, my brother missed it, I shot it, my pointer found it and my rescue dog-flusher dove in and grabbed it. Perfect.
  9. So another year approaches. Today I took advantage of some recent snow melt and cleaned up some dog droppings out in the yard while taking in some Vitamin D. I had my ears and eyes scanning for any signs of spring. Then I heard it..... a couple of starlings in a neighbor's tree. I always look forward to spring's first signs.
  10. The dreamweaver mags work great as do the superslims. The mags need the split rings changed out - not sure what happened with some of the last couple of years production but I lost a bunch of fish by the hook sliding off the split ring. I run a lot of northport nailers also. Hard to go wrong with Michigan Stingers in stingray size. R&R tackle has good spoons. Northport nailers have the most durable paint jobs. I have a few moonshine patterns I run also. Stop by some time while in slip and I can show you what is working. Changes slightly every year.
  11. Paul is right it didn’t matter much last year and it won’t matter this year due to size of this year class. I caught just as many fish on a six inch spoon as I did on super slims so size didn’t matter either. A theme emerged after May on color scheme involving spoons with black-glow-UV. More important was where in the water column you were fishing.
  12. Use a wire line knot - no crimps Make sure your termination swivel spins Make sure your ball stops below the waterline Make sure balls are off in transit
  13. We keep getting these monsoon westerlies that is probably screwing with the water level readings.
  14. Not king rings, kings ....as in chinooks. Oh well if it needs explaining then it ain’t funny anyway. Nice haul.
  15. Yes but they have to be ice-caught.
  16. Great haul
  17. Those aren’t kings.
  18. 50% chance of more rain? Not sure about temp predictions. Can anyone interpret the chart on the left? https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/30day/
  19. Not sure where this is heading. Basil is reportedly going to stay on and the Park Rangers may have stepped in their own mess by stating they don't want to inherit the additional duties of ECO's but really only want a match in base pay. ECO's have limitations on overtime. Rangers get double the overtime opportunities compared to ECO's so with the "soft money" end up making more per year than ECO's. Not sure how this is going to effect anything on the ground.
  20. Ice building on NE front. https://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/modis.php?region=o&page=1&template=sub&image=a1.19040.1737.LakeOntario.143.250m.jpg
  21. Grouse 5 .....dudes with guns 0. Birds won the weekend.
  22. The brown creel limit proposal is trib only
  23. I don’t want the release to trip on small nibbles. Better hook up ratio to keep it on tighter side.
