  1. I have been tabulating my own figures and have found an interesting reverse correlation between alewife numbers and the amount of snow pack in my yard.
  2. You should pull off 150' and reel back thru fingers to check for chaff/nicks. If you run wire divers there will be evidence of mono and wire getting together. I change my Big Game mono every year.
  3. There were only a handful of kings weighed in during 1K event due to high 20 lb minimum. I would expect similar. No worries on the conservation side.
  4. 8's or 6's in the tube, 6's for 2nd shot and 4's or 5's for third. Improved choke for brush or pines. Clear cuts or more wooded, modified.
  5. Fishers and Coyote increases have put them in the trees now more than ever. Makes a hard bird to kill, harder. This deer season I watched 8 birds feeding in ash trees. They never hit the ground. They have learned to let you walk right by. My German Shorthair will hold her nose in the air if there is a bird in the tree.
  6. Apple trees
  7. holy crap good man, with brush like that behind your house stop cutting lawn and put a food plot in instead!
  8. WTF are you guys doing on a downrigger ball Facebook page?? Bored much? 😂
  9. The mild winter is flushing water as opposed to storing in form of ice and snow. So far I think we are fine. Alewives should be in great shape. If it stays warm we may be poised to have the second highest alewife hatch on record (prediction based on how 2016 turned out). Sorry Dr Weidel, just another anecdotal prediction lol.
  10. We would be in the poor house. I believe Buffalo is the third poorest city in the country.
  11. Most ports have webcams. You should be able to tell if piers are underwater. In two months many of us will be out trolling and can report out.
  12. Yes I found those also. Unfortunately they are 6” flasher cuts. I can’t find spoon cuts
  13. Ding ding ding
  14. Yes I saw those and they probably would be fine to the fish but the NBK die cut is a little different.
  15. The black ladder sticker
  16. Awesome 😂
  17. You can see from the second photo of the used knot, the braid was starting to fray and was poised to break. I am back to an improved Albright with more wraps and a second piece of braid tied via Albright, cinched down behind the knot to keep the loop memory from working open the holding knot.
  18. So after a full season with the nail knot on the weighted steel connection, I wanted to check the connection to see how it held up. One knot looks pristine and one looks like crap. Back to the drawing board. Here is how I tied this knot and what they looked like after season.
  19. Ha! I have done that at my buddies house in Wales.
  20. You would butcher your deer like any other. Your tags can be printed off DEC site. Use the carcass for yotes.
  21. Extended season two does per day around Ithaca. Go wack a carcass or two!
  22. oh boy.....here we go again.
