  1. I would name it the "Scott Norwood Buck" with the single bar face mask and being a little "off" on the right side.
  2. Brian, I was thinking the same thing. Using more "efficient" less labor intensive 2 year old King sperm may increase fertilization rates and therefore less work for hatchery workers BUT is a horrible idea for the genetic well being of the species going forward. Their methods are artificially selecting for two year old spawners to pass on their genes instead of the biggest and strongest. We got one hatchery.........get it right!!
  3. Go to the only light in town and take the road that takes you down to the yacht club and marina
  4. Jig tipped with minnow, jig with gulp, skein under a float, large vibrax spinner, hot'N'tots
  5. Parking is uptop. Make a left and next right into public parking area. Park so your trailer is on the grass, car in the spot
  6. Must have been a BIG opossum! Does B&C recognize tail length or snout?
  7. Youngstown launch below town is new and free.
  8. Anyone notice less birds stocked this year? What is usually a war zone, the state park I was at yesterday was unusually quiet. I ate pheasant last night but only two flushes in morning hunt.
  9. What is wrong with Russian salmon snuff videos? That was pure entertainment.
  10. I like your pin set up......20 yards, 30 yards and......oh **** I need to put another arrow in him.
  11. DEC officers have jurisdiction over the entire state. They can write a ticket for about anything anywhere including border patrol stuff.
  12. It would be nice to allow for "deputizing" trained persons to help blanket a tributary (with a DEC officer on site) during the runs. Go trib by trib and set down the law of the land.
  13. Nice! Great shot placement.
  14. Titled: "Fishing for salmon, Pulaski NY, day 2"
  15. Congrats!
  16. The last man who learned the wearabouts of your secret brown trout spots
  17. The woods have been torn up with scrapes and rubs with the first hint of cooler temps. Get near those lickng branches!
  18. Charter captain's fish diaries show this to be true. The Tule strain evolved in water on Washington coast that does not vary from 48-55 degrees all year. I would surmise that when water temps dip below 40 degrees there is an effect on activity levels. In the spring we don't really see Kings coming into play until the water rises to the magic mark of 40 degrees so I think that probably is the tipping point.
  19. Jimski2, I would direct you to the LOLA report put out by the USGS. The food web is intact. To grow plump alewives it is the zooplankton that is key. When zooplankton drops, alewives feed on phytoplankton and their body weights suffer. Right now there is too much algae in Erie and Ontario thats why they are attempting to reduce phosphorus loading in Ohio. This is NOT a food web issue but as stated by biologists, a back-to-back historically cold winter issue. The food available to alewives is seasonal in its availability. If winter stays too long and delays the spring bloom, alewives starve. They starved and washed up on the beaches in the spring even when the lake was plankton soup in the 70's and 80's. This is a short term hiccup only, not the sky falling.
  20. You put a jig down you may catch anything.....including out-of-season Lakers. It just means you can't keep them.
  21. It could have been only 4" off target. Quartering away with the head down feeding. The shot was yanked or deer moved and the arrow glanced off the ribs and into the neck. My brother had a similar case with an eight pointer but the arrow glanced off the ribs and luckily spined the deer.
  22. I don't think their winter coats are in with the warm weather
