There pulling the ice boom on Erie today, the DEC said that there was very little smelt in the lower river because of the cold water coming out of Erie and all the ice there. maybe after the ice has gone it will be good.

Thanks Whaler, cant wait looks like it will be a wet one. I got the hut all set up so for the most part we will be dry

cant wait, its the first spring on the new farm taking my boy out for the youth hunt. his first turkey hunt

Hookedup, what was the cause of the problem did they ever say.

My two boys also,enjoy it go's by fast.

Nice pics Whaler, your kids? way to go

A men to that brother, I am with you 100 %.

Whaler, don,t take what I said wrong I am 100% on the same side. I hunt and fish also I hunt coyotes, and shot more then a few chucks but the DEC is setting us up to be the bad guys. you know what this is going to look like when it gets on the news, ask the DEC why they stopped Destroying the cormorant eggs and nests, it was because of the pressure they got from animal rights people and there big money backers and the news. I am on your side and will kill as many cormorants as I can, just tired of hunting getting a bad rap let the DEC take the heat .

Don't take this wrong, I think as many cormorants you can take out the better, they are way out of control and I have seen the damage they can do but with all the anti hunting and animal rights people out there seeing us kill them it makes us out to be the bad guys. The DEC let them get out of control and should be the ones getting the BAD press for killing them. Think about how many guys got hammered on this sight alone for killing crows or coyotes or wood chucks, please by all means kill as many cormorants as possible, I will also. but be ready to take the heat. its not aways about killing for food its some times for population control, like it or not.

Save the gas and by a starcraft from Bow and Stern cant beat it. Now you can brake out the popcorn.

True story My 12 year old son was on was on the school bus last year and he was talking with his friend about fishing for cat fish in the back yard, that mid morning I got a phone call from the Principal saying that a girl in the seat behind them found it offensive that they where catching fish for dinner.and they would have to stop talking about fishing on the bus. I contacted a friend who is a attorney and we went into see the principal and explained freedom of speech. and how he and the school will be sued. Is this what we want to only be able to talk hunting and fishing in a back room when know one is around, this is what they want where do's it end no fishing photos of guys holding salmon, no hunting photos of that big buck you just shot. maybe this site should be shut down because it offensive to some. Is this what it has come to, I'll tell you what, you can stop showing photos, stop talking about hunting and fishing. but these people will still be out there to do ONE thing stop ALL hunting and fishing period. photos or not they are still coming.

I cant say enough good things about Bow and Stern, The people there are the best, Paul is not only a great guy to do business with but is also a great fisherman and knows the trolling game he can set you up with just what you need. and Chris his son runs the maintenance end and works on the boats Chris is one of the best at in the business at it, you can't go wrong doing business with them. I have bought 4 boats from them, from 14ft to 25 ft. and know them like family. GREAT PEOPLE.

I read some place that the grouse where getting hit with a disease similar to west Nile, started a few years back and spreading through the population killing them as it go's. the western N.Y, area has been hit hard I'am not sure how far East it go's if its hitting the Adirondacks area.

Great shoot, I always want to do it, just don't have all the gear, do you use crow and owl decoys or hit a cut corn field where they have been feeding?

A friend of mine has a new Lund and where the window turns and comes down the side of the boat it acted like a magnifying glass and on a bright sunny day malted his black dash in one spot, the lund rep. told him that it was not under warranty and that he should have put a damp towel there to keep it from melting. you cant make this stuff up! I am with Gator I would get a Lawyer involved.at this point.

Hooked upf7 who is the dealer and why are they not fighting for you, the dealer should be YOUR go between and if it is a warranty problem the dealer should be fighting for you to get it fixed . I had a Bayliner 2452 classic that I bought new I had the boat 4 years and it had a baseball size spider web crack on the bottom where a bulkhead was pushing on the hall and any time the boat hit a wave it would hammer the hall from the in side, I took the boat in for winterizing and the service manger saw it and said we are keeping your boat they called the factory and with in Two weeks was on its way back to Bayliner for a new hall. I had my boat back in time for spring. This has gone on way to long and the dealer should be steeping up to help. I now own a starcraft supper fisherman that I bought new and love that boat have had zero problems with it, you should never have to call the factory or any reps. that is the dealers job. BUT I will tell you this if ITs one day out of warranty they will not fix it at there cost.

Tight lines for ever, Condolences to the family.
