  1. The first wave of starlings showed up in my yard this weekend. Today I saw a Robin.
  2. PM sent
  3. First visit to Rattlesnake WMA Sunday. Two birds flushed in about three hours. Great day to be out but the same theme of low bird numbers continues
  4. Zach, how does someone sign up for the event and what is the cut off date? Thanks.
  5. It is a tough business! What I am hearing…… -Bayrat lures are shutting down (maybe they will sell to another?). Can anyone confirm this? -Northport Nailer. Best paint job in the business IMO. The owner says they are selling down the rest of their stock as they are heading towards retirement. -luhr Jensen J-plugs….forget about it. -Silver Horde plugs….good luck finding them in the color you want -R&R …..has there been any Dave Wilczak sightings?
  6. Any rules on what port you must leave from?
  7. I will add this one to the lists
  8. Crap!!!! I loved big Dave!
  9. If it is super muddy, fish can’t see your bait. You may have to slide East to find good water color.
  10. It’s been a muddy mess all winter since 70 mph wind and 30’ wave event before Christmas. I hope it clears by spring.
  11. This is a tough one. I have had two observers that were not fisher-folk on my boat that got sick to the point I had to come in. I felt bad for the ladies that got roped into the event by their families. I agree observers get a great education if on the right boat. Many start as observers then decide to enter tournaments (me). I feel bad for tournament organizers that have no perfect answer to stop cheating. It would be a great win-win to coordinate with the USGS or DEC to do stomach content checks in the name of science for each fish after weigh-in. If everyone knew their fish would get cut open, lots of would be cheaters would think twice. Randomly draw name from a hat for pre-cooler/boat check prior to send off each morning.
  12. I think there are a bunch on the shelves right now due to Valentines Day
  13. Doing some research on the Ohio walleye derby scene this offseason to pass the time. I think I will be burning the first week of November on Erie this year instead of spending the time in a treestand. Any info on the best ports and places to stay would be appreciated. I almost don’t want to ask what are some good lure patterns especially after reviewing posts on all things walleye as everyone will answer differently so it probably doesn’t matter as much as we think. Ross Robertson’s Big Water posts are entertaining.
  14. They are similar in the way they stick to ya.
  15. The only thing Lake Ontario needs less of is Lampreys
  16. From our Canadian brothers
  17. More news. https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news-release/2023/01/ewg-study-eating-one-freshwater-fish-equals-month-drinking
  18. Ugh. Cancer sucks. Sorry for your loss, she sounds like a great lady.
  19. My takeaway is things are improving.
  20. I would think smelt growth would be tied to the shrimp species with their bottom hugging nature.
  21. Does anyone know if Scotty bases hole locations match Cannon’ base plates?
