Well Steve, I apologize about the rage comments. It seems that a bad hit is a bad hit. I lost a doe two days ago with the slick tricks. Thought I hit her good too - only at about 15 yds. She walked into a swamp about 100yds away and that was it.

Ray, I am sorry you had to join the "rage club". I had just about the same experience with a big buck two yrs. ago. Watching him trot away with the rage in his shoulder blade was it for me. Went back to the muzzy and now trying slick tricks. Not a single lost deer since I switched back.

I finally got out at red creek/sodus area last eve. I watched a nice 7pt. for 20 min rubbing branches and placing scent everywhere. He was only 18 yds. away but in heavy brush. The doe estrus, I had out had no effect on him and when he walked off, I could not call him in with either the grunt or the bleat. A little later when walking back, I came across two does in the food plot. They were calmly eating and were not even disturbed by me. I kind of figure, they are not quite ready in this area yet.

That rage made a nice hole. Beautifull buck Steve. Congrats.

Perch are still in the bay. W.W. IV. and I were busy the entire morning Thank you Mike

I decided to go to the small boat harbor for eyes . Got to watch Rebs put on a walleye clinic.

Looks like a good day for Monday. I have been at Silver creek a dozen times. Sometimes it is very good, and other times just fair. Interesting how the perch hand in 5-10' here around Sodus. It is more a stalk and fish thing. Got to be very quiet and use the electric motor. The water is usually clear and they spook easily, but you can watch them as they swim around.

Thanks for the updates on the perch. I am planning a trip out of Silver Creek Monday but the info I get out of Jeromes Bait store isn't the best. If anyone goes out before that please post an update. A hundred miles is a lot of driving if they are not there. Thanks.

Who are you kidding. You caught it at Taft Bay in 30' of water on a sonar B ye the way, the "finders Fee" will be two clams casinos for me and Ange at T.J's first ice!!

The more I fish for perch, the more I find that they all have differnt techniques on different waters. Lake Ontario bay fish are easy pickens on just about anything although I prefer fin s plasticks on a small jig head. When they move out to the lake, you have to use a drop shot at least two feet off the bottom with a fathead to keep away from the gobies. Erie perch are deep, and Jimski knows what they like there. As far as Seneca is concerned, get a camo blanket and hide under it in Lund's boat! He is a Seneca magnet. As far as hooks go, I always use Gamos #6. In Lake O., it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I had to smile at that report Tim. Sounds just like my experience. Some day we will get them, but in the mean time - SODUS.

I need a short shaft 25hp for my aluminum boat. If you have one, and it starts contact me. 1975 or newer.

Thanks for the call. That's one to be proud of.

Nice job. Looks like theyb are here for good.

Just noticed your post Grady. I found the exact same pattern on Sunday. Found my best action right on the dropoffs. Hope we can get out tomorrow and Sunday

I think the energy is there. Shooting 350 grain carbon express,100 grain rage, at the time and 55lb. draw weight. Doesn't matter though. Have heard a lot of good things about the S.T. and will use them.

Well I know that Steve and Keith and many others wil probably disagree with me but I have to say that I will never shoot Rage 2 blades again. First, I am a re learning archer. I started 40 yrs ago and gave it up until three years ago. I also am a bit of a wimp, and only draw 55lbs . My first experience with Rage three years ago was great. It did everything it was supposed to. Massive hole, buck went down within 20 yds (broadside shot). Two yrs. ago, I had some doubts. Hit a doe, shot looked good, and found the arrow but no doe. Searched for her most of the next day. I did, however, take another doe later in that season, but had some lingering doubts. Last season, was the clincher. Hit a nice 8pt. at 22yds. and watched it trot away with the arrow in the shoulder blade. This was a slight quartering away shot and the initial penetration was at a small angle. The rage never penetrated! Thinking back, the doe I lost the previous year also was hit at an small angle. Broadside shots, they work as advertized, but I have zero confidence in them with any other shot. I went back to Muzzy's last season and took two does with no problem. This year, I am experimenting with the Slick Tricks. They seem to fly straight so far.

For gills try Ides and Massaug coves north of the bridge on the west side and also south of the bridge along the east side near Glen Edith.

They were in about a week and a half ago, but on ly for a few days. The last time I heard, there were some in last week Wed. This time of year, it is all luck. There are plenty of gills and silver bass and largemouths to keep you busy.

It just dawned on me who you were! How have you been and what's Lars up to?

Still available

Bump

I apologize. But I ran into a scam on this site last year when I was selling a boat. Have to be wary. Anyway, the canoe has been sold.

I agree. Our only fish last week was a steely where the walleyes used to be. Should have told me something.

Hm! Let me think. Just created an account, only one post and spells Bulington wrong.
