nice way to spend the morning

You gotta start early and get the lines set in those predawn hours. I think if you fish that division you need to take full advantage of the time frame they give you and start as early as you can.

Nice Tom

We were late but we also attended the Sandy Creek chicken bbq. 73 fow and Mag sized NKs (watermelon and super spook were the 2 best). After rerigging and before all the rods were even set, we started the event with a triple . 1 fish about 16# another about 14# and the rest were cookie cutters.

Still looking...

Thats why it pays to be mobile!

Happy Birthday

I have a small file type hook sharpener with a groove in it for hook points. Simple and it works great.

wanted 2 cannon downriggers (electric), swivel bases, mounting plates, dual rod holders

I "caught" one on a flasher/fly a few years back. I figured it got snag going after the flasher thinking it was a new host but it didnt live long enough for me to ask.

The creek is low but no worries at all.

...and dont forget the mosquitos!

Couldnt close the deal on opening morning although i heard plenty of gobbling and saw plenty of birds including 1 real nice tom (that strutted for over 3 hours, 100 yards away). This morning the whole flock was in the woods roosted and at daylight 6 hens (including 1 bearded hen), 3 jakes, and 2 mature toms flew off the roost and into my field less than 80 yards away. After a couple hours of watching birds, one of the jakes came over to strut for my 2 hen decoys. Well that got the attention of one of the big toms, and in the process of scaring off the jake, he ended up well within gun range. 1" spurs and 9 1/2" beard. Great day and certainly one of the craziest mornings i have ever spent in the turkey woods, that ended in success.

Awesome fish Jax!

That might be the funniest thing ive ever seen. I had to save it to my computer.

Thanks everyone!

A friend of mine is a "smelt dipper" and he fishes the niagara every spring. He said that this year was the best year he could remember in 15-20 years and he was in absolute awe over how impressive this years run was. One of those "walk across the river on their backs" type run.
