Congrats! Enjoy each day -Andy

we had a few days where you could get something done, not sure now- check reports on Ice Shanty NY section http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/in ... board=16.0 -Andy

NICE! Sounds like an awesome shot of flx winter fishing.

Glen, I expected a stunning account of your guided trip with Scott . I got sucked into a crisis at the plant that lasted most of the week, so I have still not gotten back in gear. Hope you had a good trip out!

Good going, thanks for the Report! -Andy

Glen, I'm probably gonna be out as well-known I'll pm you my new cell. Mower is checking T-falls tomorrow, Seneca village launch is open [ Post made via Android ]

Got a Standard Horizon GLX 1200 unit ordered + a 8' Shakespeare Galaxy antenna, now I should be able to keep up on the scuttlebutt

John, let me know what you see at T-Falls. I'm busy w/ the yotes for a week or so anyway. -Andy

Need to replace the radio in my Islander. Looking for a solid unit & good source. Also, thinking maybe I should replace the antenna & cable.

I'd appreciate any current info on the bubbler/launch at T-Falls and the ice situation at Treman. I'm just about ready to kick this season into gear! -Andy

Clute looked iced in to me. Went by w/ cattle trailer & wasn't easy to check out the village launch. I'd appreciate any updates, conditions,etc. I'm almost ready to get back on the water! -Andy

Usually pretty good fishing Jan,Feb,March & on Cayuga & Seneca just have to pick your days and be prepared!

Thanks for the report! Getting the little boat ship shape for winter fishing today!

WTG! Couldn't fit in the youth hunt but looking forward to the season w/ my 3 boys-nice going!! -Andy

Haven't had much of an early season here or up at the farm we hunt in Earlville, but we have spent a bunch of time shooting clays under different,higher patterns & have come to the sobering conclusion that, as usual, the 'nut behind the stock' is far more critical than chokes or loads. Some more prospects should emerge over the next week as my buddies w/the custom chopping business get going in Brisben. I'll give you a call or give me a shout if something looks promising.,-Andy

DDW & what trouthunter said! Also very important to plan routes to stands- mature bucks and dominant does are very careful to not travel towards the direction human tracks are heading ( yeah they don't take much time to figure this out) no matter how careful you are with boots,etc. WTs scent glands are keenest when humidity is high -so plan accordingly.

Ok we shot 3"Fed speed shok, BC FS Steel, and Kent Fasteel through our i-drive Stoegers w/ both the factory mod choke and a Carlson mod choke at 10" circles from 30 yds. Patterns were acceptable w/ all 3 loads with the factory choke and poor with the Carlson.-Andy

Good going Chris! Sounds like a great day. Hopefully we can get some perchin in this fall. -Andy

Great report & pics! The 6" ITO flies were hot for us too.

Talked to Tony this am- thanks for the advice guys!

Great post Pete! Add the rest of the family's priorities into the mix and it's a wonder we get any actual fishing done at all! -Andy

Nice!

My 2008 Minnkota bow mount growls when in the water and has no torque at all. Brand new battery-anybody had good results getting these repaired and if so where? Thanx!
