  1. With boredom comes innovation of some new worm spoons patterns. Friekin weather has to break.
  2. Yep, definitely needed to rein in frivolous spending. I just hope there is some thought behind the cuts and they are made stepwise. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-mount-rushmore-bill-anna-paulina-luna-2022609

  4. My understanding is that the fear of states taking control of BLM land is they could sell it off to private.
  5. The antis downstate don’t know why we fund a put and take sport.
  6. https://www.wpr.org/news/illinois-delays-invasive-carp-project-great-lakes-federal-funding let’s hope the lampricide programs get funded
  7. I think they need a different term or definition of what “ice coverage” is. This shot from 2/11 is deemed 90% covered. I don’t think I will be venturing out to ice fish any time soon.

  9. Strong parallels with what is happening in declining deer populations down south and what has happened in the Adirondacks.
  10. Every year cold water kayakers die. Experienced, inexperienced, doesn’t matter. You will not be able to get back onto your kayak with wet winter clothes.
  11. Big’un! My buddy gets them between 2-3am. Seems to be the magic hour. He has also found coyotes have become educated to electric game calls and now only uses mouth calls.
  12. If you cannot find anything available in Wilson, https://www.olcottrentals.com.
  13. You may have better luck with rentals in Olcott
  14. Ya, that is just worry. Guys running to Ohio to use forward facing imaging in 5’ waves and a bass boat. Hopefully, I would get paired with a troller.
  15. For those of you wondering what the condition of the lower Niagara is in, I took a drive down yesterday to get eyes on the water. The good news is the water has cleared (no more mud), and the ice boom in Lewiston is keeping the launch open. The bad news is there are some ice flows in the main river you may have to dodge and the lower stretches all the way around the fort are clogged along the shoreline with ice.
  16. This weather has me confused. Playing with dummy dots and my hole puncher again.
  17. Awesome! 😎

  19. I hope not to turn this into political banter but there are a few things we should be paying attention to. Recently, states attempted a land grab and sued the federal government for control over BLM lands. Luckily, the Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit but it serves notice to everyone to pay attention and not let special interest try to take away what is all of ours to enjoy. Locally, with all federal grants placed on hold, things like the spring alewife survey is at risk. Based on correspondence coming from the White House this week, there is an interest in gutting environmental protections. Stay in tune and stay involved. https://idahocapitalsun.com/2025/01/13/u-s-supreme-court-will-not-hear-utahs-lawsuit-to-control-18-5-million-acres-of-public-land/
  20. Hope they have enough TP.
  21. My take is I don’t want my rigger weights or divers to make a difference so divers are clear and rigger weights are the same color as the water.

  23. Anyone ever try a NWT coangler event? I see they have a stop in Dunkirk in August. For those that have competed, what are your opinions on the tournament experience?
  24. My recommendation would be to do the old school method of manikins dressed in HUK gear and enjoy a full FUBAR spread.
