    Robins showed up today on the wave of warm air.

    WOW. Beautiful laker. How are the launches?
  3. Gill-T
    If you launch at Olcott, you don't need fluoro as the water along the shore has stain. Leader down to tiny barrel and run 12 lb trilene to a 30 lb duolock snap. Some sticks have better action by taking off the split ring and tying direct.

    I think all the new shotgun manufacturers cut corners. I always wanted a Browning Auto-5 so I picked up the new version and it felt and looked so poorly made I walked over to the used rack and bought one built in 1952

    No birds today. Hunted Bear Creek outside of Franklinville. Too many predator tracks for my liking. Fischer tracks, saw a huge red fox. Fox in heat smells in the woods. Dogs got their work out.

    Every police station should be built next to a school.

    Yellow jacket, Dogs like to use power lines as travel corridors. If you can’t see far due to age of cut, try elevating up in a climber.

    Relatively speaking Brian "no ice fishing". All I remember from the last two years were people complaining of dink perch, no ice and ice fishing tournaments cancelled. I think the good fishing that everyone is experiencing is a result of two poor-short seasons building stocks. If the Sodus crew knew what people are catching out on Erie, they would leave that scene to the locals.

    There was no ice fishing the last two years.

    See if there are any salvage boats used for parts. Maybe eBay.

    Got out in Onondaga county this weekend with my dogs. Probably 10 grouse flushes with three birds hitting the ground. Was able to learn my pointer's body language when the bird is in a tree. My project rescue dog is also rounding out. She lets my german find them, then she tracks their flight in the air and pounces on them when they land. Good one-two punch those two.

    I would never give up my NK's. However, I have heard of some paint issues on the newer ones being produced.

    I have one smaller sized hot'n'tot in my spread at all times. Place them on inside board line. You don't have let much line out as they dig deep quick.

    Use your 3.5" Renoskys. Leave them set up the same as you do for Erie Walleyes with a larger rear hook and only two split rings in lieu of the front hook. The glow colors and loud rattles make this little bait fish big in stained water. 1/2 of my fish on any given day come on spoons so have a mix.

    April is good from the mouth of Niagara to East of Olcott. Browns along shore, Lakers out a little deeper, Kings are hit or miss.

    Amazing how loud the motor boat blowing bye sounds at 100'. You can see little zooplankton scooting around if you look close. Probably mysis shrimp or larger copepods.
  18. Gill-T
    Water looks green. Plenty of phytoplankton. Phyto doesn't grow fat baitfish. The mussels are filtering the zooplankton.

    Here is why your fish are skinny.

    ....and coyotes eat the ass and intestines of their prey first.

    Beautiful day to be out for a little workout. Birds were not where they were “supposed to be”. After tramping around all the thick narley stuff ... nota. Checked s few pine stands....nota. Gun slung over shoulder at end of hunt in open beech hardwoods two flushes with nothing to show for it. Dogs are pooped.

    During the summer months you have to keep an eye out for Canadian yacht owners that are making the run from Wilson to Toronto. I have had a few close calls with these elderly gentlemen setting the autopilot and then going down below.
  23. Gill-T
    Yes

    If I needed one flasher it would be double crush glow on a chrome blank. How many worm harness blade colors do you own?
  25. Gill-T
    Just their own personal experiences they are going by. Others may swear by completely different flashers in the same scenarios. There is no right or wrong answer. I the world of trolling it is about reproducibility. If you are catching fish on a certain flasher on a certain copper length.......put another out the same way. If you are catch fish 250' on a wire dipsy set-up one day.......the next day put out your dipsy 250'. If you are catching fish on a chrome flasher in the spring......next spring start with a chrome flasher. Go read Russ's blog on his store's website. Every year his flasher selection is different. Don't lose sleep over this. The fun of rigging is figuring the pattern yourself.
