Very slow so far not sure why. Lots of gobies

Its everywhere in Jefferson county even the inland lakes. My mother-in-law has a camp on moon lake they have been doing the same thing for about 3 weeks.

Awesome fish congrats

What a hog dream buck congrats.

Was it shot in NY State dandy.

Yamaha outboard Looking for dealer ship in Canada that sells Yamaha outboards near St. Lawrence River, Ogdensburg , Morristown area thanks.

I think this would work as well as are heavy bottom bouncers we use Kevin just a thought and one more arsenal to have on board. Might even be a little easier on the arm and wrist.

Handlining Walleyes I am interested in buying a couple of handline reels just wondering if it is legal in nys. I was told that it is illegal here, I know it is big in the Detriot River and Minn. lakes and rivers. Thanks thought about calling dec but not sure if they would understand this type of fishing.

Heard a guy talking about that Monday up there, I think the two guys were back and I don't believe the had life jackets on again the way this guy talked.

The good spots still have ice maybe by next weekend it will free up. Have not heard of anybody getting them up this way yet more toward Syracuse been warmer that way.

Bite was slow again today from what I could tell, was there 3 hours didn't see an one setting the world on fire and a lot of small fish better days ahead.

Stopped by Krings today one canoe and two boat few guy fishing from shore didn't see much happening yet bay still full of ice couple more good day hopefully ice will be gone.

I plan on checking it Friday Kevin if I get up I will let you know the condition, you will probably beat me to the update hoping it opens up with a 4.5 day weekend.

Kevin it seemed weird to see all the ice we drove all over sat. checking things out LOI had open spots in middle no one fishing, eel bay was also a spot that had open water there was three brave souls fishing. I didn't talk to any one though to see how the bite was then went to krings was shocked to see how far out toward the channel was froze . I would think if we could get some sun and some 40 degree days that ice will go quick. I went to paynes with a spud yesterday just to see how much ice there not good. First 2 inches crust snow 4 to 5 inches of slush and water one a good wack through 1 to 1 1/2 black ice not worth it.

Krings, Eel and LOI ice Took a drive this afternoon went to LOI whole center wide open not a sole around then went to eel bay looked from shore open spots for sure only seen 3 people that were fishing then drove to goose bay and out to krings point looked like a few open spots out towards center and to left of boat launch one guy out of goose bay. I didn't see any ice that interested me I will wait hopefully in a week or so we will have boats in, krings was open before that cold snap a week ago cant be much I wouldn't think

Nothing like processing your own, not having to worry how the guy in front of you took care of his deer. I have heard some nasty stories of some of the processing places around the area. Also a good time to have a few beers and shot the breeze with those who enjoy the same hobies.
