Weather finally broke down here. First expedition on sea kayak for an hour resulted in a skunk 🦨. I tried blind casting a chatterbait around some oyster beds at low tide. I had a little excitement when the water near me erupted with water spraying everywhere with giant fins sticking up in the air. I couldn’t believe my eyes as two dolphin get sideways and squeeze themselves around a island reef from a side cut, around the tip of the island in one foot of water. I thought for sure they were going to be stuck until the tide rose but they power flopped through right past me. They acted like they knew what they were doing. I have been reading how these dolphin terrorize the redfish and trout by corralling them in shallow dead end cuts. I will not complain about cormorants anymore! -
The weather following me. 38 degrees and BLOWING!! I keep checking the little cut behind the house for fish movement with the tide changes but no signs of life yet. Hmmm neighbors have a Grady White…..I wonder if the keys are in it??

I know this is a family site so apologies for my French but the title of this thread truly expresses the way I feel 😕. Thank god for trolling content on Youboob from guys such Russ Gahagan on his morning buzz podcast, Reel2reel podcasts and many others. You can even find interviews with local celebrities like Vince, Rick, and Casey from the Thrillseeker, Yankee Troller, and Dirty Goose respectively. I am not tech savvy enough to post anything educational so hats off to those captains that have taken their time to give back to the sport. With the snow piling up outside, I am hopeful to catch my flight out tomorrow to Charleston for a week exploring the inshore fishery around Beaufort SC. I will have a sea kayak at my disposal so looking forward to some paddle and cast time. I will attempt to capture some content without losing my phone overboard. COME ON SPRING!!

Ya, everything is hard to find. The silly thing is there should not be any shortage. This is similar to stores running out of toilet paper last year because everyone thought there would be a shortage so they bought extra. The owner of Hornady was on a podcast the other day and messaged that they are making ammo as fast as they can. There is no government conspiracy or restrictions keeping them from distributing ammo, it is just fear driven gluttony where people are buying in bulk and stockpiling. I am looking at buying a Savage 220 and am lamenting the search for 3” 20 gauge Remington Accutip slugs. The company that owns Federal ammo, purchased Remington ammo and hopefully supply will soon match demand. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/may/27/ammo-booming-vista-outdoor-says/

The numbers don’t get revealed until early spring. There have been rumors that deer numbers are down but I have not heard anything specific. Hopefully this cold snap knocks tick populations down.

Your funny looking yellow boat doesn’t have any riggers or rod holders?? -
What do you guys do to remove the ice from your boat decks and rod guides?

Put up three this afternoon. A couple of Hail Mary shots at one. The others spooked well out of range. Such is grouse hunting -
Beauty! -
Get both. -
Late season grouse, my browning Auto-5 12 gauge with modified choke gets the nod. More pellets.
-
I have a Remington 1100 in 20 gauge that is a joy to shoot. I like older guns. It helps to have an autoloader for birds like grouse and pheasant

Awesome! Note fin clip. -
Got it to work now.

I remember your past year's struggles on this thread so it may be seasonal food shifts or the greater usage of food plots by the public. That is why an aerial survey would be helpful. I would think there would be federal funding through the USDA related to COVID studies.
-
This would be a good year for aerial surveys to make sure the DEC’s ten year plan isn’t going to be adversely affected by COVID. I drove all around Skaneateles this evening at dusk and only saw a few deer around town. I am just not seeing them. USDA doesn’t really have evidence of clinical COVID significance in deer. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/one_health/downloads/qa-covid-white-tailed-deer-study.pdf

LOTSA Salmon School Registration Is Now Open
Gill-T replied to Instigator's topic in Open Lake Discussion
There are over 400 people hospitalized in Erie county right now due to COVID. Just about everyone I know has gotten this latest version or has family members that had a recent bout of Omicron. Thankfully, the level of mortality with this rendition has been low. -

chowder, he lives in Old Forge NY where there are more bears per square mile than people. His sense of reality is slightly skewed in the bubble he lives in. -

Move it to March if possible -
Cook and eat burbot like lobster.
-
Has anyone been able to get the membership renewal to work on the LOTSA website?

Two for two today ahead of weather change.

That is just it. Not seeing them in fields, not seeing many road kills, not on top of hunter cars and not many while hunting. It will be interesting to see the final numbers.
