I'm talking about pike, perch and crappie.  I just keep smiling and nodding my head and they just keep talking and bragging.  

That spoon looks familiar.  Is that the one we were looking at last week at the store? By the way,  I'm learning everyone's hot spots.  It's terrible handling guns and fishing tackle all day.

Wish I could have gone but had to work.  

Thanks again Eli.  It was my best time ever on the lake.

Oh that's just great, Tommy's going to be fishing with you.  When I fished on Duane's boat, Tommy was our muscle man reeling in the long coppers and never complaining.  He is just a great kid to have on board.  Hats off to you. You did a good job raising him dad.

FYI, the gun show at the dome arena is this Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th.  I'll be helping my buddy all day on Saturday.  Stop by and say hello at Black Creek Outfitters table.

They don't advertise like they used to and everyone finds out after the fact..  I wanted to give you folks a heads up.  The gun show at the dome arena is this Saturday and Sunday.  I'll be there all day Saturday helping my buddy at the Black Creek Outfitters table.  Stop by and say hello.

I literally read your post Wednesday night about the fantail and bang the next morning I get one.  Awesome mount who did it for you?  I think I may have mine done.

Hey Mike,

  Remember how I used to have good luck at raffles. I still do. I have an Okuma center pin rod and reel that I won at a raffle several years ago, still in the box never used.  How about teaching me how to use them.  One more thing I can get into.

Thanks for the tips guys.Very good info.  My buddy picked one up at a gun auction a few days ago and gave it to me for helping him out at the gun show a couple of weeks ago.  It's a Bushnell Yardage Pro.  I guess it's an older model but it is like brand new condition.  I put a new battery in it and it works fine.  I've lucked out the last 3 weeks.  Won a Rapala fishing pliers at a gun raffle, bought a 25 cal. automatic for $50.00 at the gun show.  The sales tag was upside down and no one bothered to check it out.  Then I get a free range finder.  I need to buy some lottery tickets.

Thanks for the info Chris.  I'll mark the trees

Hi Folks,

    I want to buy a range finder but have never had one or know anything about them.  I don't need anything fancy or real expensive,  just something that's good from 30 to 200 yards.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Good hunting this year and be safe.

If every sportsman/sportswoman in New York had voted for Astorino four years ago, we wouldn't be having this conversation.  I worked with guys who hadn't voted in twenty years.  They were hunters and gun owners and did all kinds of complaining when Cuomo beat Astorino but they never bothered to register and vote.  Guys can get up at four or five in the morning and fish all day or sit in a tree stand but can't take ten minutes to vote. 

I'll be blunt, IT MAKES ME SICK.

To those who never made an attempt to vote, don't complain when you see the things that this guy is going to do to us gun owners.  To those of us who voted for Astorino, all I can say is," we tried".

Believe me guys I hate to see the snow too but the longer the water stays cold in the streams, the longer the fingerlings stay in the pens.  If the streams warm up to fast, the fingerlings have to be released sooner.

The commercial salmon trollers in the Pacific immediately cut the gills and eviscerate the carcass to prepare the salmon for quality at the dinner table. They are bled out and the gurry is is removed to prevent tainting the flesh. Immediately afterward the fish is iced down or better yet flash frozen and dipped in fresh water to encase the fish in an ice glaze. This insures safe consumption to the public of the fish. Our rules of fish cleaning stations is a dangerous action to the public. The holding of a fish in an ice filled cooler for hours exposes the flesh to gurry and fluids, bacteria and unnecessary spoilage. Someday a lawsuit will happen and a lot of finger pointing will happen and states regulations will be the cause.

I don't understand how keeping a fish cold on ice causes spoilage. Tell us what we should do instead of using a cooler full ice if we want to bring some fish home to eat.  Should we use a floating fish basket or stringer like the old days?

NFW!!!!


Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the pic.  Holy crap, Rob's got a little smirk on his face.  

He left his truck and trailer on the ramp and took off on the jet ski and started driving it around so no  one could use the ramp.  The other three guys were trying to start their motor for a while and that ramp was tied up.

Nice pics Shawn.  I was there with my son when you guys were coming in.  I couldn't believe that guy on the jet ski.   To cold for me.

Hats off to Dan, Rick and Lucas.  Great job setting this up and the information covered.  I learned some new things and can't wait to try them out.  I ran into old friends and made some new ones.  I wish it had gone longer.  The day flew by.

Thanks guys

You who elected Trump are the culprits who caused this. When Obama and his gun law history created paranoia among the owners who hoarded more guns but now stopped purchasing more guns feeling more secure with Trump in office.

I didn't know I was a culprit. I used to arrest culprits in my previous career. If the witch had won, we might not be hunting at all.

John,

   If you go to the LOTSA website you will see your name on the list for the Salmon School.  They are not sending out emails this year.  Everyone will be checked off at the sign in table before the class starts.
