Nice buck! Good job!

Yes public land. Southern Colorado in the San Juan mountains. We were near Pagosa Springs. Most outfitters are in public land to, one day we hiked half a day over a mountain to a ravine on the other side to a meadow we wanted to watch. Set up camp, still had few hours before dark so I went to watch meadow my brother went the other way, when we got back he said there is outfitter tent about 100 yards from our camp! Next morning we decided to hike back out as they were watching that area!

Been dreaming of an elk hunt for a few years, we made it happen this year as me, my brother and dad went to colorado for the 2nd rifle season. My brother an I also drew a mule deer tag. Left Wednesday morning Oct 21 got there thurs evening. Season opened on saturday. Rented a cabin but me and my brother camped out a few nights so we could get further. Didn't see any bull elk just some cows an calves. Seen a lot of mule deer, brother an I each got one. Hunted till Thursday Oct 29. Had a snow storm come through dumped a foot of snow top of mountains, only few inches down low. Beautiful country out there, and rough country!! Only makes me want to go again!! Maybe with muzzleloader next time during the rut.

Love the late season, agree they should shorten regular gun season to about a week.

Way to go!

Way to go!

It seemed to calm down a little as the day went on till afternoon it turned more west getting a little more choppy again. Good luck to all going out tonight we marked a bit in 150 but they were tight lipped. Lakers in 120 but they wouldn't even touch gambler rigs. The Laker we got was in 90 ft 59 degree water, strange

Yeah and the cooler. The fish didn't fill it. Fished mostly 120 to 160 tried a little in 80, calling it quits now.

Out here since 9 00 very slow. Only baby king and 16 lb laker. Just got another baby king. Anyone out here having any luck?

Way to go guys. Good to know there is some nice fish being caught on the inside. Hopefully it keeps on picking up before the fish head up the rivers.

For Keuka lakers, the laker taker flutter spoons work good. They have a sharp bend at the end for more action. Troll them slow at about 1.8-2.2

Finally made it out on the Ontario again, was a bit bumpy for my boat but fishable. Set up in 150 on a west troll wasn't long dipsy out 280 took of screaming after fighting a little I thought I lost him reeled probably 200 feet in with no resistance then he took of again an peeled it all out again. Finally got him in a 23 lb king a best for my boat easily beating my persanal best of 20 lbs. But was very slow after that only getting a 15 lb laker an losing another. Both fish caught on meat rigs. Fished from 9:00-1:00. Did not mark many fish, was first time out with my new helix 7 Gen3 fish finder so still trying to get settings right.

Sorry to hear about your boat. But glad everyone is safe. Hope you make it back to fishing soon.

We were out of Deans cove on 7/22 fished for about 3 hours only getting a small rainbow down 80 on rigger. But my fishfinder went blank right after we started so we were kinda fishing in the dark. Had to get down 120 ft. to find 43* water. Called it quits went to Bass pro for new fishfinder. On a good note fleas were gone! Good luck.

Way to go Whaler! Some quality fish!

Way to go Jeremy!

Way to go Gambler!

Good luck guys! Wish I could go but I got work to do.
