sum of thsese guys??????....lol....wheres the SNOWW this year?

shizactly....tis that time...lota rain is the key this winter so far in the F/lakes....drown em outa their holes.I just walk tracks and throw rocks into brush to flush.....then shoot to eat...really easy infact. i dont have to feed my pet rocks, but unlike beagles they never come back? hmm ...i live on a golf course and my prop.adj. to it and the thickets between holes really put out some bunny spawns that would comapre to misquitos...swampy but great wabbitland....full circle there happens to be a chitload of foxes...n a big mamma. wise to hunt rabbits first or the foxes??????on account of scurring them or educating them to my scent.????idears

Seneca has some of the biggest jacks around in my opinion.....and tonnnnnns of em...POOR MANS SHRIMP

im currently in the thinking and testing stages but yea.....when they school up un the shelfs and flats just above them in the spring i can tune in on em pretty good.....the smaller suttons with thinner profiles work great.....#44 is a fav. i want to make a homemade set of cowbell type spinners and decrease in size down to the hooked one @ the end....only 3 or 4 blades.....seems when ever i tryed to setup the tiny storebought original cowbells the way they are rigged makes for too much resistance with the water and u feel of the bottom is sacraficed...i want to do it with a strechy mono or hybrid copolymer line rather than wire.....i think the stretch would feel better on the fingers and look better for the fish......i slammed two big jacks whilechuggin the flats just above the shelf this spring....one was 15 inches and the other was 16 if i pinched her tail and tried to get that extra 1/8 outa her ...lol ill try n upload the pics i think theyr on my HD......i havnt tried the fall perch fishing with the copper on account of all the weeds in the lake that time of year, but im sure where there is a will there is a way. i KNOW they go deep to ive pulled them off sunken barges and boats in 175' of H2O with ultralights and power grubs fished on the Nig Rig. so im shure u could go out where the weeds arnt and get em in the fall but that deep copper is a waste unless u can find a big school and just keep drifting over them.....

hey guy...I have kinda self taught myself over the last two years and ive caught hundreds of lakers...and a many browns L.L's and perch chugging copper....I bought a verrrry nicely engineerd victrola with eaarly 1900 guts in it.... and it has a spool thatly prolly hold 1000 feet...never use it all but theres room...i run 25lb. single strand copper and i put a swivel on the end w a haywire twist...from the swivel i tie on dacron or braid...i like darcon cuz it foalts and makes a drip loop in the presentation your copper is held off the bottom slightly and the chugging makes it lag and then dart...lag then dart....like scurrd minnows do.....i use keel sinker after the dacronanywhere from 1 oz. to 4 oz. then a leader of mono 5 ft. to fifteen ft. tied to a sutton most times...ive tried twin minnows and other hardbaits..u name it ive got it wet...but overall the suttons perform best.....#88, #44, #66...hammered or flat but gotta use a fixed single hook or ur wasting ur time.......try it out leme know what u think. ive caught em from 20 ft over water on the bottom and ive also tuned em in out over 150+ ft of water both on the bottom and suspended......go slow and keep on chuggin......NOTHING in the world like fighting a monster laker with your bare hands.........IDC what any of these million dollar electroninc trolling capt's tell ya ....if they didnt have all the money and they were back a generation or two where would they be then??????? not on the fish!..............Ol' SKOOL!.............stay with the roots thats where alot of people FUC* up and loose touch with the sport. I got into it because of an urge to make it as primitive and classic as possible.....not to be one the most effecient boats on the water....yet it never fails ill chugg away on my 12 ft john boat on calm days when these moster deep v's are bombarding me with pressure around the west side from Kashong to thre Belhurst....and whos hookin up!!!!!!!!!!ME

i jumped the seneca county monster buck on my property thanksgiving morning and he got shot my mike canale that weekend so dont feel bad dude i have nightmares!lol J-K keep on hunting bro.....suchis life...i could do the what if **** in my head all day to rationalize why i didnt pull up quick enuff and throw some lead at him but point is i didnt get him Mike did!!!!!!!!!But thats the best thanksgiving story i have yet to date so im thankfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOBBLE GOBBLE

haha funny guy! yea it was crazy hearing all these storys and seeing pics everywhere.....The buck Mike shot on good friday i saw on thanksgiving ....pushed him up and had no shot. me and my dad heard the rally of shots in the pine grove....never figured nething of it on good friday when u got the biggun'.....Now all along since i saw the pic that said Dec. 3rd on the NYoutdoor site i thawt that was the day Mike shot it.....Because on that saturday mind u not i didnt see mikes truck so i thawt he wasnt there....saw noone in the stand in the south side of the pines and it amazed me when at about 330 or 4 i pushed Yet another GIAAANT im thinking he was the big typical 8 0r 10 ive heard of a couple guys seeing......He ran into the pines with a doe on the tractor trail and less that a min later i heard a full box of shells get empted in the thick goldenrod feild to the north...i beleive the stand u can see from the tracks, in the big willow with a bucket for a seat...IDK if u guys hunt that or if its someone else over there....neway turns out two years ago a typical 150+ during the last week of bow......a 13 pointer this year during bow........Mikes giiiant.......and whoever shot the big one i pushed through the pines....by my count thats 4 and im still seeing some fresh tracks of a mature buck....Crazy Gene pool if i dont say so.....theres alot of scrub bucks running around too.....Im buying a few new stands this winter and really getting my A game on nxt year.....ima sit it out on some of the good thickets and rub lines......No more walk and stalk in early season...cant be letting the big ones get away like this again! Just heard the other day that Mr. Adams got hit by a truck in a crosswalk. I hope all is well and he is okay......till next year!...

right! lol I am only 25...ive been hunting the lot next to mike since i was only 13 or 14....just over ten years... I took my first buck and doe on the land last year.....we have always been a strictly shoot only shooter bucks and straglers with bad racks.....no does till the last weekend or so of season....it pays off large bedding lots that are surrounded by both young and old growth and farm land that withing 500 acres this year contained corn, clover, hay, soybeans...and some Bio-logic but thats here nor there!...the gene pool in this block of woods has pumnped out moster bucks since my father was my age and I just have to take it as a lesson learned and sit it out from now on and get my stands closer to the "natural funnels" and easier to get to, as I can so someday I get a chance like mike and a few others in these woods have...! still cant beleive it true beast! 190ish non-typical and all i could do was stare at it for the breif two seconds i should have been shouldering up my gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~

Hi my name is Nick,....i hunt the big lot next to the hay farm mike and his nephew hunt.....I have misconceived the news since i heard it i thawt i pushed him that deer on dec. 3rd saturday.....the post is from the day after thanksgiving.....DAAAAAMNNNNNNN i saw droptine thanksgiving morning....ten thiry to be exact i pushed him up @ 60-70 yards in a goldenrod feild and had no shot i gave chase for maybe two hundred yards before he beat me to a woodlot ......so thick i couldnt get a shot.......THE story is about to get crazy....another old timer has rumored to have shot a 13 pointer same genes just no droptine.....just north of the pinegrove Mike Canale hunts in the overgrown goldenrod feild.....Twas saturday the 3rd of december i was walking slowly thru the young woodlot adjacent the the pipeline that seperates the two propertys....I kicked up a BIIIIG buck with a doe.....DROPtine or not i didnt think that there were still two big bucks out there as a 140 and a 150 class typical pair of bucks were taken within the last 3 years that I know of...........I gave chase to the egde of the hay feild that is on the land mike hunts....saw then going into the middle of the pine grove on the tractor lane.....no sooner than had i realized i just jumped a monster again!.....I heard three shots just north of the pines towards the feild......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I though...I didnt recall seeing mikes red truck parked @ Adams' so i wondered whom it was .......MY luck has expired this season....I had maybe a two second window to pull up and shoot on Mikes giant thanksgiving morning but i spent to much time picking up my jaw not the gun.....DAMIT.....and to just realize tonight seeing when they posted the pic , that i pushed yet another 150+ deer to the neighbor on sat......arrrrghhhhh....I need to find virture in PATIENCE......THE walk and stalk never pays off.shoulda stayed in the stand even though i knew these big boys wernt moving during the day.......SEE WHAT I GET!!!!!!! BUT all and all I have some pretty sick storys to tell and no buck on the wall....Looks like its gona be a long winter flyfishing for steelhead to fight off the nightmares of the big "ONES" that got away........................~Nick in G-town
