    After roosting some bird lasat night it happened again.this morning. Had a hen at 25 yards but 4 Toms struttung stayed at 55 yards. At leasty I'm seeing a great show. They moved off and actually passed 15 yards the chair I was sitting in wheb I first heard them gobble this morning. Gotta love it.

    Great bird

    3 toms and 7 hens flew down about 55 yards first thing this morning. Hens led them off and I didn't want to risk that long shot.

    Salmonchop, I completely agree with you, even thought they claim 10% greater penetration with this load. I do my homework and prefer to get them inside 30 yards. That said I do feel these loads outperform previous Winchesters and are probably ethical to use to 50 yards. As you stated, if there is ever any question let them walk. I roosted a nice flock tonight so we'll see what takes place in the morning. I never seem to get them when I think I have them figured out.

    I use 1 medium split shot when shallower than 10 feet and a couple larger ones when deeper than 10 feet. Make sure not to let spoons out to fast or make sharp turns when using weight or they will hang up. I'm going to set up a couple leadcores and see if they make a difference.

    I tried patterning 3 1/2 inch #6 shot Winchester Longbeards through an HS Strut Undertaker turkey chock tube. If needed I am very confident on them at 50 yards and they likely could reach out a bit further..

    Spent a frustrating morning fishing and only caught 3 browns. Two 13" and one barely a keeper. Tried different depths from 5-25 fow and numerous sticks and spoons but couldn't find them. Water temp was 41-44 degrees. Very clear by Selkirk and muddy from the Salmon River to Sandy Pond. Didn't see anyone else catch any but boats were spread out and appeared to be looking.

    Not sure how much longer it will last.95% of females are spawned out. I'm hitting the lake for browns this morning and with turkey and walleye season opening latter in the week I will be switching gears soon. Also will probably try to hit some crappies.

    I stopped yesterday to check and no DEC there so it must be over.

    We did see a few fish roll on the surface early and that help us zero in on a few spot. After about 10:00 the only fish came off riggers.

    I run them with good black snap swivels and they work fine for me.

    Didn't pay attention to the temp. on the river but on the lake it was 40-42.

    After a morning of brown trout on the lake we filleted half the perch and I put 9 bags in the freezer. The rest are still on ice and we will tackle them tomorrow.

    Thanks Todd it was a slow pick.

    My brother and sister-in-law are visiting for a fishing weekend. We hit the lake today and went 8-10 on cookie cutter browns. Water was pretty muddy all the way up toward Selkirk. Caught most on silver/chartruse spoons but a couple on sticks. 3 off riggers and the rest off boards. Most in 8-12 fow. It was better earlier in the mornng and slowed after 10:00. Hope to get them into some perch on the river and perhaps hit the lake again Monday.

    Put in a day at Goose Bay and ended up filling a cooler with nice perch. There was a stiff NW wind and not many people were out in boats. A bunch of people were fishing the shore at Kring's. They are working on the launch at Kring's and it was not open for launching today.

    I drove to Goose Bay and Kring's this morning but did not fish. I did talk to a former student that has been catching them pretty well fom shore but wasn't dong well in the wind today. I only saw one boat at Kring's but the ramp at both Kring's and Goose Bay are open. I have also talked to a couple guys that have been hitting the crappies well both on the river and at Black Lake. I'm sure this cold weather and north wind has shut that bite down. I'm planning on fishing locally tomorrow and fishing the lake for browns on Friday.

    I got my both my Canadian hunting and fishing license this year. Since I duck hunt in Canada I also got a PAL permit for guns and a Nexis card. This made it easier to check in by phone when hunting and going to shore or anchoring. Everyone on board needed a Nexus card but once we figured it out it worked pretty well. I believe as long as you don't drop anchor or go to shore you can report in by phone while fishing. As said, you need passports and bithdates for all on board. They will issue you a number for the day which you must write down.

    I'll let you know when I hear I've been away the last week.

    They've been at it for a while.

    As others have said weights are fine in deeper water. I generally simply put various size and combinations of splitshot about 5' up from the stick bait or spoon. If I'm in shallow water (8" or less) I generally run with either no weight or a small split shot ahead of the spoon. This alows me to troll in water as shallow as 5-6'.
