  1. We had our task force meeting today. Season dates are as follows; Duck Oct 12 thru Nov 3, and Dec 7 thru Jan 12 Youth Sep 28 and 29 Veteran Nov 9 and Jan 18 Brant Oct 5 thru Nov 3 2 Scaup Dec 24 thru Jan 12 Goose - West Central Nov 9 thru Nov 24, and Jan 11 thru Jan 24 Goose - South Central Oct 26 thru Nov 10, and Nov 23 thru Jan 25
  2. What GillT said about moving the anchor. Many times when I have picked the anchor off of bottom, I would circle back to casting distance from the disturbed bottom and catch perch. Sometimes the swinging back and forth while on anchor will help you catch fish.
  3. Western Zone duck dates are Oct 12 to Nov 3, Dec 7 to Jan 12. This is for 3 years, not 5. We meet on the 24th to decide the goose season, youth, veteran, scaup. This fall there will be a 30 day, 3 bird Canada season.
  4. Hunters Choice sells a 3 tube pack. Brown, green and black. It is easy to remove. I wear glasses so facemasks fog my glasses when it's cold out.
  5. My brother and I are looking at different options for running 300 copper. We run them off our planer boards now but are wondering if it would be easier to run them off of in-line planers. Sometimes we put a 12oz torpedo weight in front of the copper to get more depth and it's 200ft less of copper to have to reel in than if we were running 500ft copper. The Ninja looks to be the in-line that is easiest to get off the line in a hurry, I'm just wondering if it has enough balls to keep it out to the side and not pull it behind the boat running our set-up. Any advice?

  7. I used to troll with streamers on Cayuga. I used them on a double rig. Take a 3 way swivel, tie a 18" piece of mono on one and a 3 to 4 foot piece on the other. Put a stick bait on the short mono and the streamer on the long one. The stick bait will take the streamer down to a desired depth, depending on the stick bait. I netted a double of Atlantics one day for my son on this rig, that was interesting! Good luck
  8. That's cool, hide behind your keyboard. If you knew anything about the seasons, you would already know there would be no January dates this year because this is year 5 of the 5 year plan, which NO task force member is in support of. Did you expect your wishes to come true just because you filled out the survey? Do us all a favor and skip it next time. I expect comments on the season dates when I post them, just hoping you would take the time to hear the facts.
  9. I love it when I take my time to inform LOU members of waterfowl items and I get responses like this from people who are uninformed about this topic. Please, please call me. If I don't answer tonight, call tomorrow, I will be at work and have all day. As for the rest of the replies to my post, I look forward to talking with you and anyone else who has questions. I will PM you my phone #, after I talk to Missdemeanor, so we can have a discussion and not have to rely on my typing skills. Thanks
  10. We had our Western zone task force meeting yesterday. We were tasked with making our 2024-25 thru 2028-29 season RECOMMENDATIONS based on several different factors.
