Traveling Circus

sturgeon point, but the fish were much closer to the SBH.

added a pic.

We got some Erie eyes this past weekend that had small (1/8" - 1/2"), whiteish/clear, wormlike (or leechlike) parasites attached to both sides of the tail, and behind each pectoral and pelvic fins..... The fish appeared healthy otherwise, and the flesh was normal. Some of the fish had as many as 100 of these hitchhikers............Any Ideas on what they were?

A black NK28 with yellow diagonal tape and a white back has been money for me this spring.............. during overcast conditions.

The winner !

Now that's cool!

I'm not sure either, but congrats, it's exciting as hell ......... I think it's all part of the process..... realizing that you don't have to box everything or shoot everything, just because you can......

Use gobbles with caution...... Often, it'll attract more hunters than birds.

My experience with Remington products varies. I've got a bdl in 30-06 that has excessive headspace, several 870 Expresses that won't reliably cycle, and several 870 Wingmasters that perform flawlessly. I would take an older beat up Wingmaster over a brand new Express model any day......

I think sales drop are market wide, and pretty much due to the administration change. Sandy Hook had implications with investors in Cerberus Capital Management, the owners of Remington. Remington was cleared of any wrongdoing in the lawsuit against them in the Sandy Hook shooting.

I've positioned (in the track) traxstech rod holders in 3 locations per side and pointed them inward. Equally space them one each side, from the transom to just behind the windshield. Then take PVC trim pieces 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 8', and grind the corners off the ends of the trim so they will fit into the rodholders. Insert one end of the modified trim board into a rod holder, bend the trim board into an arch, insert the other end into the opposite rod holder, and install a tarp over the pvc arches. I also have a "tent" pole positioned near the center of the windshield to keep water from pooling there....... simple, cheap, effective.

The dogs were great today....... the ole heart starts pounding when you hear them headed your way. They are a pair of the hardest running and friendliest hounds you could ever want to hunt with......
