Thanks for the report! Last few years we’ve been spoiled with an early bite out here. Should heat up in coming weeks.

Dismal fishing in the Golden Crescent so far this year. Walleye super tough. I'm hearing the Laker fishing out past the trench has even been less than noteworthy. Tough year for the charters to say the least. Has anyone heard a report of any salmon making an appearance out front of Stony Creek yet?

Who is running the DEC, Geico?

And Kevin, you’re right, maybe the best start to a year river fishing I can remember.

Correct me if I am wrong-the large flush of Quinte eyes that we fish in the spring have not been replenished in large part due to the Canadians ceasing their stocking program-is that true?

Wish I could have attended but had to coach little league. I am wondering if they talked about how much we rely on Bay of Quinte fish migrating to Chaumont in the spring. I think, if my memory serves me right these post spawn Quinte fish nearly B-line to Chaumont to intercept the spawning alewives-backed up by Queens University GPS studies. If these Quinte fish are bypassing Chaumont for areas with better bait (this year) maybe it seems like our native #s are lower when they might not be?

Friday I am going to have some time to go through all these suggestions, much appreciated. I'm not the best mechanic, hoping the problem is staring me right in the eyes lol.

Good to know. I'll do that experiment. Also, I am gassing it pretty hard to get onto trailer each time I take it out-wonder if that big push can leave excess gas somewhere that finds its way out on the next launch. Thank you, much appreciated.

Will do, thanks for the tips!

Have a 2005 90hp 4stroke Merc on my Lund. Recently, last 5-6 times I've launched the boat, as soon as the engine hits the water there is a little gas sheen around the engine. It's really not much, maybe 3-4 sq ft that doesnt grow in size, just instantly appears after dunking it in. I think this is really the first time I've seen this after a decade of use. Motor runs great, nothing has changed on that front. Is it just excess gas from the exhaust from the previous time out? Any thoughts? Appreciate it.

Something to ponder...these solar farm people are offering land owners long term land leases for what seems like lucrative paydays. Long term leases up to 50 years. In 50 years the US dollar will be toilet paper. Don’t be fooled. Tricks like these were used during the oil boom too.

New nuke tech with small footprints should be considered first. These solar/wind farms are scabs on the land.

Up at the mouth of the Larry water levels are low, but not so low that it’s out of the range of previous years in last decade. Getting a good three days of rain beginning today that ought to replenish most opening day duck spots. Remember when the IJC jackals told us to just wait for the deluge coming from upstream lakes that will substantiate this new norm of high water caused by global warming? LOL

Yes. Pay to attention to temp and water color in the 8-20ft range until you find them.

Right now you can launch to stony creek and fish in front of sandy ponds in close for browns.

$5/lb No bones or your money back. Need Vitamin C money. When I got off the plane from China customs said I didn’t need a test. Hours? I can catch a pal an hour.
