It is nice to see people releasing fish instead of stacking them in the freezer only to get tossed in a year.

I had something similar on a couple of eyes from the SLR last year. They could be anchor worms.

Nice buck!

Great job Scott!

In New Hampshire they use dogs to find stashed fish.

The topic is late spawn!  My point is the walleye season is in place to protect the spawn... Obviously we catch spawning walleye in season so the season needs tweaking.  As far as the limits and size restrictions go that depends on how the DEC chooses to manage the fishery and it seems we have little say in that.

My apologies.

When people start talking about limiting ice fishing it gets my attention!

Mother nature has been doing a decent job of limiting ice fishing all by herself lately.

I think if you want change then you need to lead by example. Educate people on the benefits of throwing back larger fish and simple peer pressure goes a long way. I am not saying cram your ideals down someones throat either. I am saying let it be known how you feel and let them make their own decisions.

Similar to antler restrictions on deer in NY. Things are slowly changing all on their own through education and not regulation.

Good deal. How do they taste compared to fresh water bass?

I fished last night for the last couple of hours. 1 keeper eye and kept 9 perch jigging off the north shore. Tossed at least that many small eyes and small perch back.

Guys are getting some eyes on shackelton shoals jigging bucktails and sonars.

A lot of fish being caught on silver sonars at a wide range of depths from 15’ - 35’.

Nice bird. I love sneaking in on them with a belly crawl!

Nicely done.

For years I threw the legs away. My last several birds I have done something similar in a crock pot. To be honest the legs and thighs are the best part of the bird.

The same goes for deer shanks. Google Osso Bucco. You won’t be disappointed.

Wait...you mean all these years I’ve been fishing I-Bay I could’ve been dropping a limit off to the car at 11:59PM and then gone back out for another limit at 12:01AM? I always defined a day’s limit as what I caught in one outing...from, say, 9:00PM to 2:00AM...for example. That’s good to know. That’s ALOT of eaters I’ve been unnecessarily throwing back. The freezer should be twice as full in the next few weeks then.

It happens all the time on Oneida. However, people abuse that rule and catch a limit by midnight, drop them off in the truck, catch another limit after midnight, go home with the fish, and then RETURN that next night and do it again! Double dipping. 

I am not a fan of the rule but I think it is meant for people that are from out of town.

Beautiful walleye. You can thank the cool weather in April for that one, as well as the gobies.

Cool encounter. Congrats on the bird.

I feel your pain reeleyz, there will be lots of walleye seasons but the kids are only little once, I used to bellyache around also, but now my girls are teenagers and I wonder where the time went. Having them involved in sports is a good thing, you won’t regret it one bit, it doesn’t give them time to get into the crap that’s out there. My girls play softball and field hockey, plus they have to interact with others, not like my little nephew, if he isn’t sitting in front of the idiots box playing video game he isn’t happy. Nuff said I don’t want to hyjak the thread.

Oh don't worry, those walleyes get plenty of attention from me through the season. I am starting to master the art of squeezing in quick trips when they matter! 

And I also get to pass on the addiction to my boys.

Life is good!

Congrats on the turkey and crappie Kevin.

Sounds like a fun month. Good luck with the turkeys!

My opening day of walleye consists of my oldest son's soccer game, followed by his tee ball game, followed by a bachelor party!

Nice job! You picked a good weekend too. Nice weather and those browns were chewin’.

Awesome video!

I loved the fish release. I think a fair percentage of trout that are kept actually go to waste anyway.

And who says that lakers aren’t fun to catch!

Nice bunch of perch!

That's exactly how I do them fishack. A light coating of sweet baby rays and onto the grill.
