    Not so much of an issue now that season is open and bass are off the beds. Most locals were complaining about guys fishing bass before the opener which is illegal here. Water level is low and lots of shoals so you need to be careful. Use charts and GPS to avoid accidents. The current in the main river can also be an issue but with a bass boat shouldn’t be a big issue in boat control. The bigger bays tend to be shallower and weedy with little current. Largemouths tend to be related to the weeds and smallmouths more on rocky shoals and deeper water. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Another successful outing. They are now both able to bait hooks and unhook their fish. Oldest even used pliers to remove a deep hook.they said they caught dinner for their mom and dad who will arrive tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Here’s one instance when size definitely doesn’t matter. Grandsons fished for a couple hours and caught a mixed bag. Bonus was they each caught a keeper bass. Yes I filleted them and got 1 lb 3 oz of fillets that they want for a fish fry. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Yep a fall fish. Pretty common. Saw a bunch at the launch in Keewayden last week. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Took my wife for our annual opening day outing. We had to do some searching and caught them a little deeper than normal. My wife took the big fish of the day with a 19”. Since we kept them I was glad to see only one still had eggs. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    We fished with a guides on Santee Cooper. Fished catfish twice and crappies and bream another time. Think it was about an hour drive from Myrtle. My son caught a 48 lb flathead and he was only 11 years old! Santee has good stripers too. We also rented a small boat and fished Murrels Inlet and were able to catch a bunch of small bluefish and a flounder. This was on spring break and fishing is likely even better this time of year with warmer water. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I know they post regulations on many trout streams at access points. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Once again this year I’m seeing many people targeting bass on the St Lawrence River. If bass are removed from their beds it has been shown that gobies quickly move in and eat eggs and fry. (I earlier posted a video showing this predation) Obviously this is harmful to the future of our fishery. This morning after fishing early for walleyes I returned to see an out of state tricked out bass boat launching. They asked how I did and I said I caught one walleye and was avoiding fishing shallow as there were many bass on the beds. The guys response was “that’s what we’re here for”! I said “you’re a week early and it’s not legal to target bass now” . No responds. I’m not sure if people aren’t aware of the law or simply don’t care but this is occurring far to often. It also seems that many violators come from out of state. I believe DEC should post the regulations at all public launches where these rules apply as the law does vary throughout the state. I also believe DEC should have a more visible presence during this critical spawning time. Yes we have a great resource as the bass pros have shown but wouldn’t it be great if future generations could also enjoy it. I personally hope my grandsons can experience it this year once season opens. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I’ve known Steve for many years and years ago I actually did some graduate work on SLR Muskies at Potsdam State that he continued. Very nice guy and dedicated to our fishery. He was always quick to respond to any questions I had. I wish him a long, happy, well deserved retirement. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I’ve had them come into my decoys on several occasions, seen them chase turkey, and even had one come in and grab a tom I shot but dropped it just before I was going to hammer it. I also know they hang around winter roosts. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Sorry for your loss. I definitely know the feeling. Lost my dad 37 years ago and still miss him. Fortunately we have great memories of time spent together. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I ordered the wrong size trailer fenders and have no use for them. The photos show size ,make and description. These are new and never used but I did drill one for side lights before I discovered it was the wrong size. Looking to get back some of my investment.

    Finished my season with a decent Tom. It took quite a while for him to come but once some hens moved toward decoys he and his buddy came in fast. They came about 150 yards across a plowed field to my decoys. I was actually sitting on a couch in a vacant house trailer and shot him out the open door which had a big piece of cardboard with a shooting port cut out to hide my movement. Had seen them near there on my last hunt so decide to use this set up as an improvised blind. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I get at least 1/3 more meat if I don’t just breast them and it is good for grinding and bones make great soup. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Good luck to you! Post how you make out. I tried BRB last week and got skunked. Haven’t fished the river except for perch. Love this time of year. We were going to Cape Cod for black sea bass next week but now it looks like it may be to windy. So much to do so little time in May! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Perfect ending to great day. Ran to St Regis Falls after turkey hunting and kept limit of trout and released about 10 more. Biggest was 14 “ and I released it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    When number are low young female will come into estrus early rather than just the Alpha female. This helps increases population. Also when population are high they have low pup numbers and when low they have many more pups. They seem to regulate their populations within an areas carrying capacity. I was also amazed how they have adapted to life in large cities like LA and NY. Certainly a jack of all trades. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
