Congrats!

Great story!

That repair is more labor than know-how. You will have to peel underside layer of glass off, and remove soaked wood. The water always enters through the inset hardware. The Gougeon bros, which are the founders of West systems have manuals for do-it-yourselfers on such repairs. They may even offer phone assistance to support the sales of their materials. Check them out online.

Congrats!

Great story, great deer!

Congrats!

Now thats a story. Congrats!

Congrats on your unique trophy. I bet that boy was a tough fight for the young perfect ones. His "sword" would inflict damage and earn him breeding rights!

Have a great one, Dave!

I think you are hitting the trib fishing at prime time, and sacs and single egg presentations will be your best bets upstream. Down on the piers, it will be more challenging. Not sure how the night fishing will be, but yes sacs produce and 2/5 cleos in glo patterns may also. There are others on this forum better suited to give you tips on the pier fishing, but years ago I always did well with vibrax and roostertail spinners. Stop in to the local bait stores for the latest info. Good luck!

Happy 51 Pete! If your power doesn't come back on, the Giants game will be on in Olcott and you are welcome. Hope everything gets back to normal for you and yours soon!

They are no longer "hauling them in", but the pier people have been replaced by sportsmen and women who are casting hard and catching a few fresh Browns and Rainbows. They look to be friendly so give it a shot after storm moves out.

Congrats! Nothing like it when a plan comes together

Thank you for the appropriate lead time.

Figures, Tim. I think I heard somewhere that ins co. is a Soros company. Need we say more?

Great post and thread. God bless all the father and son hunting/fishing teams now and in the future.

These are the Walker version of Jets. Perfect for Walleye trolling. 6 Gold, 5 Purple, 3 Chrome. Priced to sell, brand new in package-- $80 plus shipping.

Actually, it's not stupid at all. People in the states have resorted to standing on street corners(those that actually want to work) soliciting skilled jobs. You will have to consider relocating in my opinion. The boating world looks alive and well in the St. Catherines area, and of course, Toronto. Visit those marinas/boatyards NOW while they are still scrambling to get boats winterized and take whatever but let them know you have higher aspirations. Perhaps some of your fellow Canadians will see this and contact you with more details. Good luck!

Congrats again, Bill. Brought back memories of my kids in their "onesies" holding the racks in the garage.

I really like how you encouraged your son to enjoy THAT deer and THAT moment. Gene, you are a rich, rich, man.

I too, observed 2 button buck brothers on their own Sat morning. My first thought was momma got whacked by a bow or car but perhaps it is starting?

No pm but I will try to pm you.

Thats what I would have thought. Those fish would imprint better than any other, and would also help explain why not enough would enter the raceway. With todays intelligent fishing pressure on both the North and South shores, the stocking numbers were woefully inadequate. When/if there is a good hatch of naturals, it will be primarily in the Eastern end and the North shore. Any egg eyeing problems or stocking shortfalls will hurt the heavily fished Western end the most. The Niagara had a weak run again this year. When we had Caledonia hatchery Salmon, this was not the case and also showed itself in 18 mile and the Oak. I would hate to see where we'd be without all the holding pen projects and the help of the volunteers.

Pete, if you're gonna try to pull this off, do not store your 'ray there or even have a pic of it in the house. At a glance, you can tell the owner is no redneck, heck he might even be the kinda guy who asks you to remove your shoes when entering his pole barn to see his deer! Secondly, and this will be much tougher, NO NY Football Giants apparel!!! Fer cryin' out loud, day don't even have cheerleaders to "sweat" dering dem slower ballgames! Even with all of this, they will find you out. Still, sure is nice to walk out back and shoot stuff and burn stuff. Good luck with the move!
