Actually just got in from our land.in Almond and heard one at last light only sounded once to a.Barred owl rippin away way up the hill above us. Heard another way off state land . Maybe they are firing late this year?

No doubt less birds gobbling in Allegany County this spring. I lucked out and scored a Jake the 1st weekend been down several times since then calling hiking...Nada plenty of Coyote and now bear tracks

I have been out solo in a 16 footer Golden Hills many times. Like Les Stroud says "you better be payin attention".

The lead core with deep divers will work well on the big smallies in Hemlock. No surprise a great bass fishery too. Good luck all!!

Ahh the yearly Hemlock head scratcher post. Can be a tough cookie to figure. On and off is Hemlock n Canadice. There are plenty of Hemlock regulars reading this say in oh yeah thats Hemlock. There is no standard there they will tell you. I have heard its much better at night for the biggest fish just be careful . Something I never hear about the 2 lakes. 90 feet deep is it. Its not a deep lake like Cayuga or Seneca... easier to spook fish...narrow to. So you get alot of boats out there dragging junk around well fish scatter. I always had best luck very early and at midday in the 60-70 foot range for trout. If I get a motor that runs on my 14 footer I would love to post on Hemlock findings.. yes Rainbow kid can't beat the scenery!!! And no water skiers or bass rigs buzzing you

Hey that is just awesome. Congrates to you both. Sweet memories Dad enjoy man they grow up too fast.

Ate tons of smoked salmon back in the 80's from lake O...still kickin here

Have a drink on Me wow and oldie but a goodie!! Had a few pops to that one way back in the early 80's

Right on!...my chargriller is loaded up with beer can chicken, wings and a center cut pork prime rib. Memphis dust rubbed in. Now if It's under 250 degrees tomorrow, I will set fire to the side box loaded with oak charcoal and hickory sticks. sunglasses required...more beer necessary. [ Post made via Android ] Oh yeah forgot the beer was cold too until the fireballs hit me...whoa

just grilled out..charcoal..man I had to have a good last supper..ribeyes

you got it. Get back in a tree. sounds like a flesh wound, lots of bright blood for a while then nuttin. Sounds like you exhausted all options short of dogs but its raining here tonight and hard. Where did the arrow hit? leg forward? skim the bottom? bright red blood looks really good on the ground but could mean a marginal hit. this does suck though..better luck to you the rest of the season

sure.. good luck to you too. We are not getting anything on our trail cams..a few really small bucks but nothing like last year or the year before..although I have never pursued mature bucks . I am after some jerky and stew meat first, take what the land has to offer right..no worries USE YOUR CLIMBING HARNESS ALL!! BE SAFE climb high and hold low

He's in Almond now, walkin around in my woods tomorrow afternoon Really get him wow

Thanks guys, So midMay may be better for pike? Walleye better later?

My cousin Kevin and I are planning a 4 day weekend trip to the St.Lawrence next spring. I am thinking early June best , 1st weekend? Is there a better time frame for this? Should I push this into late June? Staying close to Clayton or between there and Alex Bay. I am not a regular up there.. too far so trying to make the best of a few days. We are hoping to find pike and walleye, Kevin has never been up there. I had a 3 day trip 2 years ago mid June, no problem finding small mouth,all were released of course.. walleye and pike did not come on that trip we tried all depths trolling, drifting...any advice?? Thanks Chris

freshwatermodels, I started out my trolling obsession on Hemlock with a 6hp johnson and a 12 foot sea nymph. I loaded the boat inside my ford explorer and set the 6hp on the passanger seat ..before purchasing a trailer.. oh the humble beginnings but to date the most exciting fishing days of my life outta that 12 footer..If I can help out shoot me a pm. I may have ideas for you as far as mounting rod holders and how and where/what depth to pull the wire dipsey rigs in there. No doubt a great choice for a starter rig, once you nail down the speed and depth of line out in there with the wire dip ..the lakers will come. sent you a pm chris

great advice!! Hey take an oppurtunity to learn something about your gear do many if not all repairs myself also!! the internet is an awesome source of info

somoeone follows me around every deer season

mature does are much more aware of their surroundings , your coming and going than any buck

Awesome job Great Buck!! Don't mess with this lady mr. whitetail

WOW nice buck man!!

Perfect!! Thanks Brian
