On the lake now.56 surface 44 down 30 mixed bag on sliders and shallow riggers nothing off boards fishing 10 to 120 fow.launched at LP heading S, speed 1.8-2.2 at the ball

The inshore brown bite is very slow at this point

Well, so far Poseidon has set himself against me. First trip up was in a blizzard. 2cd trip, spectacular blow out w/ no place to change out and another skunk, Yesterday another skunk and on the way home the rear cross member on the trailer gives out. Fortunately, I was only a few miles from Mike's Welding in Homer! Oh well -- it;s been good seeing Hank anyway and thanks to him we are ready to get on em when it comes together!!

Great post! Put my little 16 in at Hanks/ Port Bay on Tuesday solo. S wind kept me spinning around, dropped 2 on inlines couldn't get my boards out. Was hoping to fish Sat & Sun but weather seems to have other ideas so I'll get some farm projects out of the way and then I'll be ready to get on em next week.

Fresh leaders on the flat line rigs! Planning to get things in gear after the weekend.

Mag on inside on 1, regular on 3 outside. Helps to run outside divers on longer rods to get some separation. Multiple cores or coppers can be run off inlines with deeper lines to the inside, use caution on turns when the boards can get close. [ Post made via Android ]

Congrats! Enjoy each day -Andy

we had a few days where you could get something done, not sure now- check reports on Ice Shanty NY section http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/in ... board=16.0 -Andy

NICE! Sounds like an awesome shot of flx winter fishing.

Glen, I expected a stunning account of your guided trip with Scott . I got sucked into a crisis at the plant that lasted most of the week, so I have still not gotten back in gear. Hope you had a good trip out!

Good going, thanks for the Report! -Andy

Glen, I'm probably gonna be out as well-known I'll pm you my new cell. Mower is checking T-falls tomorrow, Seneca village launch is open [ Post made via Android ]

Got a Standard Horizon GLX 1200 unit ordered + a 8' Shakespeare Galaxy antenna, now I should be able to keep up on the scuttlebutt

John, let me know what you see at T-Falls. I'm busy w/ the yotes for a week or so anyway. -Andy

Need to replace the radio in my Islander. Looking for a solid unit & good source. Also, thinking maybe I should replace the antenna & cable.

I'd appreciate any current info on the bubbler/launch at T-Falls and the ice situation at Treman. I'm just about ready to kick this season into gear! -Andy

Clute looked iced in to me. Went by w/ cattle trailer & wasn't easy to check out the village launch. I'd appreciate any updates, conditions,etc. I'm almost ready to get back on the water! -Andy

Usually pretty good fishing Jan,Feb,March & on Cayuga & Seneca just have to pick your days and be prepared!

Thanks for the report! Getting the little boat ship shape for winter fishing today!

WTG! Couldn't fit in the youth hunt but looking forward to the season w/ my 3 boys-nice going!! -Andy

Haven't had much of an early season here or up at the farm we hunt in Earlville, but we have spent a bunch of time shooting clays under different,higher patterns & have come to the sobering conclusion that, as usual, the 'nut behind the stock' is far more critical than chokes or loads. Some more prospects should emerge over the next week as my buddies w/the custom chopping business get going in Brisben. I'll give you a call or give me a shout if something looks promising.,-Andy

DDW & what trouthunter said! Also very important to plan routes to stands- mature bucks and dominant does are very careful to not travel towards the direction human tracks are heading ( yeah they don't take much time to figure this out) no matter how careful you are with boots,etc. WTs scent glands are keenest when humidity is high -so plan accordingly.

Ok we shot 3"Fed speed shok, BC FS Steel, and Kent Fasteel through our i-drive Stoegers w/ both the factory mod choke and a Carlson mod choke at 10" circles from 30 yds. Patterns were acceptable w/ all 3 loads with the factory choke and poor with the Carlson.-Andy

Good going Chris! Sounds like a great day. Hopefully we can get some perchin in this fall. -Andy
