Mag sized luhr Jenson horseshoe spoon.

They love wild cherries, and new cherry shoots.

10' Ugly Stick roller tip, and cabelas dipsy rods are great values.

I like to shoot does with my bow to keep the hill quiet during gun season. There is something to the arguement that more does means better rut activity, conversely, less does around during the rut means more competition among the bucks so more likely the big boys will get to do the breeding. One of the tennants of QDM is that you keep doe levels low so most of the does get bred on the first estrous cycle so they drop fawns earlier to make a hardier fawn come winter.

The spot gives you a nice target to shoot at I have never seen a large piebald OR albino buck. Recessive gene, nice conversation piece, but bad for big bucks IMO.

I think you should tell me what depth you were fishing and how far down and THEN I will tell you what I think about a potential hybrid.

East to West the Green Dot/Double crush glow spinnie with a hammer fly is the number one combo I would say. I like chrome E-chips also (both in eight inch versions). I see a lot of mountain dew on white flashers on tournament boats. This time of year guys will run the big 11" Kingfisher type of flashers with meat.

I can cure you Rick Billy, good luck with surgery, healing times are a lot quicker with todays' methods. Was that last fish picture of a giant Coho or a King?

If you are going to put some down and target big kings, buy the white/double crush glow ones and try bumping up the speed a little. Normally, guys will run at 2.4 mph-2.7 with 8" spin docs, but the 6" version spins in a smaller arc so less fly whip/action.......speed it up if they are streaking but not hitting.

Mostly a springtime coho paddle. Try 15-20" length leader. I have caught steelhead and small kings on them also. I am experimenting with them on bigger fish right now. Double orange crush 6" spinny with a small blue/green fly is a coho killer.

Evening trip start 100'. Morning trip start closer. Temp probe helps here. Usually, where I first run into 50-ish degree water on the bottom I start there and fish the marks on the graph.

Go back to the stone age Jack. Seems like you have a little "****" in you too. Keep in mind, team crazy B, did not win because Tom sponsored them. They won because they outperfomed a unbelievably experienced field. Tom sponsors the great teams, but they were great BEFORE sponsorship not BECAUSE of it. Lake Ontario is the great leveler. Sponsors will not help the fish to bite. Sponsors will not help with the weather. With the exception to size of boat (sponsors don't give teams boats, by the way).....it is a level playing field.

Great work Werner. I was very impressed with your execution, boat handling, fishing knowledge etc. etc, and more importantly the balls to stay with your fish. A lot of fishermen would have moved after a while, but you recognized the type of day it was (an east wind grind) and realized you had to be over fish during those few moments they went on the feed. A well deserved victory! Chad

Every morning this past week, boaters are casting Erie Dearies on the hump in front of the sunset bay beach club off the Catt. in 17' FOW from 6-8am and limiting out every morning!!!! Wierd year I think you are seeing the results of the eastern end stocking program come to fruition.

I have never seen a deer sit still and feed in one place, unless it is going to bed down. Deer are constantly on the move living off a variety of foods. I am always perplexed to see deer eat a couple of apples and then continue on with floor covered with them. I think if they eat too much of one thing they get gassy (see also Mighty Taco). Bottom line you have to offer them browse (by tree trimming/logging), nut trees for protein, greens-agriculture, apples are a bonus but more like desert for deer. Your play on hunting the trails to/from the food plots and apples is the right play and won't change no matter what you plant. (ps try brassicas) Do you have apples this year? We got the warm spring/early bud/frost kill in the southern tier so no apples again

All the laws are open to interpretation by the DEC officers enforcing them. The spirit of the law is to keep people from transporting an exotic species to other bodies of water, so I would never keep one in a pail waiting to be used. I have no problem when I catch a gobie, sending it back down to be eaten by a smallmouth. Dead gobie, confused smallmouth, happy angler

I will be there to observe, driving in from Buffalo. Might need a place to shack up, however, since we have to be there by 4:45 am.

Apparently, I am not going to make detective.

You can run a free slider-spoon over a spinnie, when you pop the release DON'T REEL until the spinnie is at the top where you can skip it back in.

Ray, you might has well add any game animal out west to that list. I didn't care for the elk or antelope I killed and won't chase them anymore for the same reason. I tried to feed the antelope meat to my dog, and he wouldn't touch it!

I alway seem to do better trolling into the current. Best way to make sure your lures are kicking.

That last one looks like it lost it's velvet already!

Word has it as of December, all New York gas stations are mandated to sell gas with 10% ethanol. Kwickfill have the only stations I know of that currently don't have ethanol already. I was thinking maybe we could petition local representatives to allow Marinas to carry ethanol-free gas. Does anyone know how we could create an online petition? Maybe throw in the windmill issue and funding for DEC and maintaining current stocking levels...... you know a grievance sheet
