Zero deer movement so far. Nice morning to be out !

I have posted on this site numerous whiting events showing on MODIS in recent years. Typically, they have presented in August. Do you remember last year during the fall derby? The water was so chaulky, I had to run a flasher ahead of a spoon to get bit by steelhead.

Some friends still catching off Dunkirk.

Is there any left for you Rob?

Short of a mountain lion, have seen just about everything today.

I am shocked at the amount of rubs and scrapes I am seeing already.

Yep 👍 good luck everyone!

Safe travels and good luck!

What IS new is people losing their minds about snagging on the Salmon River (which has been a thing since salmon were stocked) and yet will back a candidate facing 91 felonies. People are funny.

I am sure we will hear next on this thread about how Lake Trout are Democrats fault.

Southern Tier woods have acorns, some Beech and decent apple crop. With the cost of broadheads getting crazy, I have gone to Blackout Toxiks as they are the best value IMO. Essentially a Striker head with cheaper parts. Flys true blue. Cabelas has plenty at $29.99

I received some info from a reliable source. There was an issue on the Salmon with indigenous people fishing at night. They were issued tickets for fishing in a no-kill section but not for the manor of taking. There were some other fishermen busted fishing at 2am (Russians) as well. My brother was fishing the Catt this morning and had a run in with three centerpinners with Southern accents that told him he had to leave the hole. It seems to me MEN are behaving badly and it doesn’t matter which group they come from.

Most of the old treaties have made their rounds in discovery in recent years. Indigenous people have a right to harvest in this manner. Someone may argue that the Salmon River and Scriba Creek runs are supported by taxpayer dollars and therefore should be excluded from “harvest by any means” indigenous methods but that is a slippery slope.

Unfortunately, it is the same old adage of greed and power. This is tied to money. When NYS opened up sports betting, they gave the business to a select few and did not invite indigenous groups to the table. The Scriba Creek walleye spearing incident was just the beginning. The DEC had caught the group of Indigenous people dead to rights. It got a little scary for officers as they were hamstrung by Hochel who told them to stand down to ease tensions still brewing from the sports betting issue. This may end badly if folks think the only recourse is to take matters into their own hands.

Last Saturday I was surprised by a largemouth that hit a glow brads wiggle wart. Looks bleak this year. I won’t be back to Olcott. Might try the Niagara once.

(Little does Les know I use use the background in his pictures to figure out where he is fishing). Shhh 🤫

Wait a minute Les. You took a picture of some snot on your line but no pictures of those beautiful Canandaigua rainbows?

Ok , thanks.

Does anyone have any intel on Dunkirk fish location?

Going to be heading your way in early November to throw my hat in the ring for the walleye derbies.
