final flight

This porter, my new grandson, we will find worms to put in our pockets, we will catch spiders to keep in a jar and any small dead animal will be put under the bed or hid in the closet. YES momma grandpa made me do it !!!!!

They all were caught on a unpainted jig and a fat head,

Gotta love first ice...

Some good eating there! Great job

These are pics from this past week! All fish were caught on 4# test line and my noodle rod 43" tiger, 26 1/2 eye , 28 1/2" eye 37" carp , 34" carp 17 " smallie, 4 16" eyes were kept for eating, no pics of these. 2 smaller tigers, 4 medium eyes(24") several smaller carp were all put back in the water.

Getting eyes and tigers:( in the north branch of the susky glow jig and a fat head up on the mud .

Tip downs

Blue bubble will be there IF it doesn't interfere with the "333" Derby's

I personally keep afew but only the ones that are under 19", the rest go back in, may be I'm in a hot bed of musky but it's not uncommon to hook into several Muskies during a day of fishing, north branch of the susky, Wyalusing down stream to Messhoppen, (?) I know I guy that guides for bass and he has the same feeling about the tigers, WAY To MANY !!

Oops anyway if the musky has disemated the white sucker, the rock bass, the yellow belly catfish, carp and bluegill forage base all gamefish specie will suffer, say what you will but it's my belief that this is what the tigers have done, the river has never been cleaner than what it is now, so it's not "pollution" that is to blame . Cleaner/ clearer water allows these eating machines to grow to there large size in a short time. If I'm not in the boat trolling the lakes I'm on the river, 50-60 days a year(?) and I have really noticed the sufferance in the forage base . And yes I have caught tigers with walleyes in there gut along with small mouths , I don't see how you can compare a lake study with a river, study and cone to the same conclusion oh well ..... To each there own!

If the wonderful musky has disemated

Another musky lover? Or misinformed sportsman ? Think .. Think .. Think..

I grew up fishing the susky so I feel that I can say with all honesty that the catch rate of all species ( except bass ) is way down from the younger years, this being said take a look at the stocking numbers that the PA. Fish commission has posted. You can't put 689,000 eating machines in a water way and not have an effect! Like everything else they do it's all about the money! So you release them unharmed I chose not to. By the way make sure you don't have weeds hanging off your trailer or your get a ticket for INVASIVE species, what a crock!!!!!

Funded by individuals that donated time and money, still need to come up with 500.00 to finish the kayak lift, this was placed at Meyers park in Lansing ( Cayuga lake ) town owns and runs the park so state or federal was not involved . Tried to get some help from the conservation stamp fund, witch there web site states is for disabled projects, but they never responded until it was installed. Yea, I'm kinda bitter that they were so late but that falls right in line with anything the government is involved with! Good luck with your project if you decide to take it on.

Here you go

Lift is already installed at Meyers point
