HB2

NYC hotels are booked solid with illegal aliens that Abott is sending up. Who do you think is paying the bill? Where will the money come from? Be prepared for cuts . I have been saying for years political decisions affect everything and that includes fishing

I have to admit , I'm a little surprised and disappointed . When I started this I figured I'd get some pushback . I mean 3 years ago we heard a lot about what a crazy bastard the guy was . How he was crazy about spying on his campaign , Russia , and on and on . Turns out he was right on this stuff . And the more I see , he's probably right about the most important thing . I mean , why would the opposition stop short of that ? Come on you guys , tell me something witty . Tell me how good things are compared to 4 years ago.Tell me how the choice you made was right. And your happy with it .

Oh God 🙏

Well as the song says " The parting on the left is now parting on the right " or so I hope come Nov , if we get there . And the left is going to be OK with the same thing happing to them , RIGHT? What's that saying about paybacks ? There are so many people and companies that did the same exact thing he was convicted of . There are many of our brave warriors that sacrificed so much in past wars fighting against what is now going on in this country . I hope you guys that were so outspoken about the right are happy with your choice and the consequences we are now dealing with .

If you are spring fishing browns shallow , I would definitely put up the planer mast . Sounds like you have a good selection of equipment , more than you need . Spring , temp and water color are critical to find browns . Look for stained colored warmer water , and it doesn't have to be much . Speed is also a huge factor. They make a paddle speed and temp add on for most depth finders . Sticks baits and spoons off riggers and boards work well for me . We all have our favorites you can research on here . Or run 2 of each planer . Fish are sometimes in 6 ft of water . Shallow running stick baits work for that . Spring shallow I would leave the dipseys and coppers home as they are not needed IMO . Keep it simple . The first part and most important piece of the fishing puzzle is location. Can't catch fish that are not under you . I would get 2 more lighter rigger Rods for stick baits off the big boards . Look on here for used deals . Use a 20 ft tippet of 10 # flouro on your rigger and planer rods .

What a great new revenue stream . The money could be endless .

State just got an influx of 355 Millon with an M dollars . What's the chance some of that gets put towards the fishery ?

X3 But I have all older ones

It is extremely important to know the dive rate of the lures you are fishing of each lure . Unless of course you like snags . That is if you are fishing 15 ft or less I find that my jointed Rebels dive the most least followed by straight original Rapalas . 3 to 5 ft . Smithwicks seem to dive 5 to 7 ft Jointed raps dive the most 9 s. 7 ft 11s 10 ft 13 s 12 ft . The bigger the bait in the deeper it dives generally. Also tuning is critical IMO .

I still love my jointed Rebels . 3 1/2 mostly and 4 1/2 . The 5 1/2 are good in dirty water and catch kings Sometimes .

Actually I was hoping some kind soul out there maybe had an old flasher or something laying around they might be generous enough to gift me. It's either that or eat cat food for a few months to say be up enough for new one .

I was looking forward to meeting you Yankee at the Niagara show as I need a new depth finder setup and was looking for your insight and knowledge on what to get on my megar budget and the show specials you had . Sorry to here you won't be there .

I have to figure I catch as many of those Sandy Bass as anyone the amount of times I fish . Some years it's lights out , some it's not . I will say I get a good amount of smaller fish mixed in with the bigger ones and always have since I have been down there .

Ya think........

The Bass fishing was fantastic untill the gobies arrived . Then there came VHS which hit the population hard . There has been a rebound .There are less fish but average size is bigger. Because of the cleaner water from zebras , they summer deeper . Which makes them harder to catch . Southern Bass lakes are a shadow of what they use to be from tourney pressure and boat and electronic advancements . There was a major bass tourney during the height of spawning season on Cayuga lake last year . They state and locals must have approved it so I don't think they care much . $$$$$$$
