Me too. Looks great.

Sounds like a great time. Going out there Memorial Day weekend. Hoping to find time to do a charter.

I saw a few big gals several years back in the inlet that I would say were easily in the 20# range. The biggest one I saw yesterday might have been 10#s. My experience has been that the (Con) Pike tend to get long without that much girth. Could just be the small sample size for me. I think that I get more girth out of Ontario and St Larry. Guys on here know a lot more about it than I do. Just my feeling.

Lots of fish in the creek and the water is pretty clear. I stopped up today with my daughter. A really nice day. My camera phone isn't set up for it. The fish in the water are around 10lbs. You can see Walleye, Pike, Carp, and Rudd as of today [4/13/14]. A must see if you haven't seen it.

Ed, Just got back from Strong. Dr.s changed the game plan. Looks like I will be out Saturday morning after all. I was thinking about Conesus. Thank you for checking. Joe

Gonna miss it... 1st time in a long time. Wife pulled a "this is more important" card on me. I have been in denial, but I will be in Mass for the opener and I don't know of any place to get eyes out there. My strategy always changes depending on current conditions. The temperature of the larger bodies of water should be considerably colder than the inlets and adjoining bays. This would be the transition I would target. Some areas, I don't even think they will be into post spawn so the bite might be tough. Good luck gentleman (and ladies).

Pap, that conversation was a real eye opener to me. There are always going to be people that don't unsderstand it. I Know this guy, we call him MSbaster. He shot a porcupine this winter and I told him not to broadcast it because people wouldn't understand why and give him a hard time. The hunter education people are encouraging students to use the word harvest instead of kill - also softer words like culling. Be careful about fishing too. There can be a distance between parties on that as well. Good luck this year. Joe

I have duck hunted in the past but solitaire and I don't anymore because I was just never showed the ins and outs of it. I have asked a few people how to get into it but really never leads to anything. I love the solitaire part of fishing and hunting but sometimes it helps to have someone more talented and knowledgable show you how it is done. This is similar to my turkey hunting. I just got back into it a few years ago after my fishing partner talked me into it and I love it now. Before I was take it or leave it. I am getting much better at it and i think that is why I am enjoying it. I guess my point is that it is great hanging out with your buds but it is also great to gain insight on technique. Every year i debate about getting my duck stamp and every year i choose to buy a high priced maple roast duck dinner from a local restaurant. I remember that. I was the other half.

Nice fish. It looks like you picked the right day to be on the water.

Never thought about bananas. I take apples because they don't get bruised as easy. I do not like to think of myself as superstitious but I do not shower before I go fishing and if a starling gets in the house, I make sure I catch it alive and release it outside alive. You could say that would be ridiculous but I don't want to be wrong on that one.

Watch your feet! It looks registered too.
