I'm not trying to bash anybody for using snares....but I don't want them in my woods or any state land near me. And under ideal situations they can be fairly safe. But let's not pretend the general public is responsible enough to use them near civilization. Beaver under ice not really a concern. Any setting on dry land is a threat to my dog. On your land. Do as you wish. But don't think even implying that somebody set them in NY won't get you some quarrels. My dog wears a GPS tracking collar and a shock collar and won't be allowed to run where its not allowed. But that does not mean that dogs have not been caught in snares where snares should not have been. I wish there were more trappers around like there used to be but its hard for them here and snares will not help you here in NY unless you want to end trapping faster. And me being a new person here on this forum has nothing to do with how I feel. And it doesn't make what I say less important. Snares are not legal here. They probably never will be, and you should not recommend them to anybody who lives in this state. -
Those restraints are called snares. They are not legal here for good reasons. One reason is they can and will kill deer. Another reason is they will also kill my dog. If I ever find my dog in one then a pack of coyotes is the last thing you need to worry about. I've released my dogs from footholds a bunch of times. I just laugh and tell them that what they get for sticking there nose where it don't belong. But if they hit a snare full speed and it locks around there neck its over fast. I support trapping and will set traps myself. None would ever be a snare or a conibear on dry land. Stupid and irresponsible. Another thing is like was said. They cost pennies. So they get misplaced and left behind in the woods and restrain animals to there death. Not like a $20+ victor that you would look for. Your cheap snare gets forgot and left right where you set it. Don't set snares and do not think of it ever in NY. A snare might have its place. But not as a main tool. You should try catching them in footholds and maybe use a snare in a controlled situation with a few yotes and areas. Not a main tool cause its cheap and light weight. That's just lazy. Hope it works out for you either way. Pa is a long way for my dog to run....but if it does you better hope that snare don't find its way around its neck.

Those are sweet....do they come custom painted like that? -
My 3.5 870 kicks the crap out of me. It does always fire unlike the autos but my buddies 10 double doesn't kick bad and it really reaches out there on the pass shooting days. Shells might be a bit more but he can take shots farther than me and he has to chase less cripples. Once I fire a second or third shot on a cripple his 10ga shells end up being cheaper. -
Buy a 10ga

Well my buddy needs 4 cheap dipsy rods. He is just getting started and would like to get 4 rods with line counter reels. Preferably with line. Would drive anywhere from Lackawanna to Rochester to get going this weekend. Let me know what you got. Thanks! -
If esox don't take them.....what bases they got?

Where you located? -
Allice has walleye. That is for sure I've seen a few caught. Never caught them although I've tried many hours. The lake has lots of bugs and the panfish are big there. Decent bass and a few good pike. The place is narrow. Its really just a river, not a lake. Bottom is littered with tree limbs and such and your bottom bouncing worm harness or dipsys will snag everything. Expect many expensive break off's. Its not long either so you'd set up and have to pop some dipsys to turn and reset. Plus's its a wave pool on nice days with all the boat and waterskiing traffic. Its an obstacle course and is nuts to even think of trolling anything there.....so...? That leaves jigging. Most fish I catch are all on the dropoffs with the most wood piles under it. Jigging down in the trees for bluegill. Lots of break off snags so just cheap jighead and worm or waxie. I usually use ice fishing rods with 4lb line and have lost a few big ones to the woodpile not able to get them out. Always bass sheaphead and other stuff but it really seems like the place that you have to hit the fish in the face to get a bite. And that spot will usually be good for more fish but 2ft over and no bites. Would really be nice to have the anchor on the trolling motor cause you can't hold anchor in deep water without blowing around. Find cover and try jigging a bait in the face of a very well fed fish and hope he bites.....also Glenwood lake near there is a nice small lake. Both have walleye. But I'd not recommend them as walleye lakes. More lakes where you could get lucky and hit one or two on the best day ever, but for the hastle I'd fish elsewhere. There are a few people that fished that whole lake there whole life and can catch a few semi consistantly, most are 12-18 that I've seen.

I have 2 aluminum boats. I also destroy everything and am not the best at fixing it. But.....I have used aluminum brazing rods and a propane torch to fix holes and tears in the hull of my boats. Flux core aluminum rods in home depot. Cheap and easy. Watch a few utube videos

We need more details....what size/type of boat....what you fish for? My first thought off my head is Basshole....could be bass guitar or largemouth bass.....and you'd have to be kind of a Basshole for it to work. But most us drunk rock and roll types are. Lol -
I was out in my 14ft row boat with a 9.9 on it last night. Caught a few perch out of olcott and played in the waves as long as I could....but you know how it is....one wave comes over just a bit and somebody gets a little wet and people cry...it was raining anyway. So we came back as the waves just started to top the pier. Was fun. Just bought the boat to replace my 12ft and new it would be rough out there but paid the 8 bucks and hit the water around 3 just to run the motor and guage the way it would handle waves. A lot better than I thought. A lot better then the sears gamefisher. Played in the harbor for a bit and took my 12 fish home. Great time and couldn't ask for more. Lol so if you want....I'll come bomb around in your row boat with a 25 on it....just make sure it has the foam in the seats still and don't go out far....I couldn't tell you how many times me and my brother sunk the canoe out there.... -
Does anybody target perch in the big water during the summer? I know Ontario gets some big perch. Would be nice to find them out in the deep during summer.
