  1. Circumference, and how much blowback. Deeper depths achieved due to the reduced blowback. this is due to the more streamlined design that doesnt "push" as much water. it cuts through the water

  5. I POSTED THIS ON THE FAIR HAVEN FISHING ASSOCIATION FB PAGE LENGTHY POST BUT PLEASE READ CONCERNING OUR NET PENS I received a call today from the NYS DEC concerning the net pen projects for NYS. As we know stocking numbers are reduced for 2020 to 845,000 Chinook Salmon for all of NY. They have decided due to the reduced overall fish count to ELIMINATE several net pen projects on Lake Ontario. I am very sad to announce that Fair Haven was on of those selected to be eliminated for the year of 2020. Their reasoning behind this was due to the number of current pen projects and the reduced # of fish it would give each pen such a smaller # of fish that the overall survival rate would not be as great as if they eliminated some of the pens and strategically placed more fish throughout the remaining pens I asked them for the possibility of Steelhead and/or Brown Trout stocking for Fair Haven for 2020. They will be contacting the Region 7 Fisheries Manager to discuss and in-turn they will contact Myself. I a hoping to have an in-face meeting with them to see what we can work out. As of right now the following pen projects WILL REMAIN part of the 2020 stocking program for Chinook Salmon: Niagara River Olcott Oak Orchard Genesee River Oswego River Salmon River Black River (Jefferson County) The following pen projects will be ELIMINATED for 2020 Chinook Salmon: Wilson Harbor Sandy Creek (Monroe County) Sodus Bay Fair Haven South Sandy Creek (Jefferson County) I will pass along any and all information as i get it. - Mike
  6. I used the chairs without the mat for many years. They have rubber caps on the feet and never had an issue with them sliding. The mat does work great for both comfort, Safety, and makes cleaning a lot easier. The Mat I use is an industrial mat with raised “diamond plate”. Best one I’ve found so far ‘Bout Time Mike
  7. I have 2 folding deck chairs I bought probably 10 years ago from West Marine. i got them for around 130-140 a piece. they have been one of the best purchases i have made. they fold up when not in use and i store them in my cuddy / dock box. i will put one or both out depending how many i have on board.
  8. Looking forward to it. Very well run and a lot of fun ‘Bout Time Mike
  9. X2 That would be a hard one to pass on at this stage for me ‘Bout Time Mike
  10. I have hunted hard this year with very little deer seen after opening weekend. Hunted one of properties yesterday all day and never saw thing. Walked the entire property and the only tracks were a fox and coyote. Decided to take this morning off and sleep in. I woke up at 630 regretting I wasnt on my way to the woods. At 820 I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to head the farm and at least check my cameras. I grabbed my coat and my 30/30 just in case. I found tracks everywhere, but they looked to be a day or two old. I decided to walk a logging trail and then walk along a ridge overlooking a heavy bedding area full of tree tops from logging. I walked slow and scoured the thick stuff for anything that didn’t look right. I spotted a BIG body deer laying there staring at me. I pulled up the scope and no horns, it was a big doe. I panned the entire area looking for a buck and nothing. Came back to her, whistled, she stood up at 75 yards, and that was it. She dropped 30’ from impact. Definitely one of my shortest hunts ( 17 minutes ) from the time I left my truck to my shot. She is one of biggest doe I have ever taken. Things got real interesting while field dressing her and the knife slipped. It adds the story and as my wife said “ only you “ [emoji3] ‘Bout Time Mike
  11. This morning was A bust with zero movement/deer seen. Not a single shot Came back out at 230 and sat on the ground in between thicket and field about 50 yards off a travel corridor. Zero deer seen and no shots all afternoon. Slow walk out and I kept starring along field edges and woods but nothing to be seen Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. X2. Seems like the perfect morning especially after yesterday’s weather. Eerily quiet ..... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. Sat in the truck waiting for rain to stop. Right around 7 it stopped. Slow walk into stand along field edge. In stand by 730 and at 815 wind started cranking and skies opened up. Complete downpour. Back at truck now soaked. Be back tomorrow with dry clothes Good luck to all those who stay out and Happy Thanksgiving everyone. ‘Bout Time Mike
  14. Back on the ground for tonight. From what I’ve heard very quiet morning for those local to me [/url]
  15. All was quiet tonight for me. Didn’t see a single one. Even the squirrels were nonexistent ‘Bout Time Mike
  16. Changed things up for tonight. Just tucked a Ground blind into the thick stuff overlooking the field. See what happens..... ‘Bout Time Mike
  17. Have to agree. Sat in stand this morning overlooking Field and bedding are behind me. 2 squirrels and that’s it. Zero shots heard. Got down and just walked entire perimeter of property. All sign is they are cutting through swamp from one side of field to the other(which we knew). Seems like every year about this time it changes to right at dusk on the field edges. Need another good storm / cold front to get them moving again Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. 4 more doe last night across the field the last 10 minutes. One spike showed up nose to the ground and got a little too close to one of the doe. She wanted nothing to do with him and almost kicked him in the head trying to get away. Back in same set this morning ‘Bout Time Mike
  19. Just finished 4 day hunt down in 7R. Hunted private property and Connecticut Hill state land. I saw a total of 13 doe and one button buck. Buddy In our camp shot an 8 opening day. He was walking by himself. Saw no chasing at either spot. Fresh scrapes and rubs appearing daily. Made it home just in time to sit for last hour at the farm in 7A Mikes 8 Tonight’s view Congrats to all those who scored so far. Some great deer have been taken ‘Bout Time Mike
  20. Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Savage Axis II in 308 ? i just won one in a gun lottery and will be picking it up tomorrow. just looking for ammunition preferences, general likes / dislikes, any mods etc.
  21. Lol. Got it. I hunt and live in 7A and was just curious what town he came out of. Beautiful animal for sure. Congrats ‘Bout Time Mike
  22. Nice!!! Where is oswego county ? ‘Bout Time Mike
  23. Do you find that you have to tune the broad heads to align with the fletchings on crossbow bolts? I do this on my compound with fix blades and they shoot great. Just curious what everyone finds on their crossbows with fixed blades ‘Bout Time Mike
  24. For early season browns you are fishing tight to shore but as summer sets in and fall approaches 2 miles from the shore of FH will roughly put you in 70 FOW. Depending on your target species you will almost always be out further than that. ‘Bout Time Mike
  25. Estrus can / grunt tubes? Just started to get fresh scrapes showing up Anyone try one with success yet ? ‘Bout Time Mike
