Hey guys. I am a relative newbee to the forum over the last year& half....but thought i would put my $.02 in! I am in central Indiana right now.......first night in the stand. We have found scrapes. & rubs every where....be interesting to see how much chasing we see going on. Locals out here seem to think the chasing will be spread out....time will tell!

So if any one in Northeastern NY Or VT is reading, drop me a PM or log onto http://www.seatechmarinetraining.com where you can register. The course has already been set, it should be listed on the site schedule by mid week once Dennis's web deisgner gets back from the holidays!!

Hope every one has had a great Christmas, Happy New Year to all!!

Make sure you have a plan for reintroduction of ALL of the mounts...not just hand picked....like the guys have said....don't want them in the Garage!!!

Good luck Ray.....I get the fuzzy eye ball every time I have a new mount to move into the trophy room...or I mean Living room!!

Thanks Matt

Hello folks,

Just thought I would drop a quick note to announce that there is tenatively a Coast Gaurd Captains Six Pack course being planned for late March in Burlington on Lake Champlain. If there is any one from Northeastern NY Or Vermont that may be interested please send me a PM as we currently have seven or eight folks for the class, really need atleast ten!

Give me a shout and I'll pass on the details! Happy Holidays every one!

are these riggers still available?

could you also Pm me the info. I have been looking for one up here in southern Vermont as I am looking to charter on Champlain! If I can't find one here I am willing to travel!

Thanks!

Hello to all!

I know it's getting close to punch time....any one out there that is starting to get the itch & feeling thier neck swell!!! I'm sure most of you have you fall hunts planned...in state & any out of state! I work for an outfitter in Indiana who has some prime bow hunts available during the first two weeks of November....peak rut!! These are fully guided hunts on over 13,000 acres, he normally gets $1900 for peak rut hunts , but is willing to drop the price to try and fill the spots that are left!

Any one that has the time open & may be intrested please drop me a PM. I can give you all the info & GREAT trail cam pics of the monsters that this area harbors!! The best part is....unlike Illinois & Iowa, tags are over the counter & still available!!

Good luck to every one out there!! Shoot straight!

Don't give up man!! With these fish staging and getting ready for spawn they have to be there! I agree with trying different depths and different presentations. Lately anything in green seems to work with the spinnies & protrolls. One day we were hitting them 80 ft down and 110ft the next, but that was a week & half ago. Sure they are in even shallower now! Like the guys have said, get more folks on board so you can widen your spread and experiment with more lines in the water...

Good luck!

There is Salmon filets waiting in them there waters!!

Hello folks,

I know this is usually for fishing related...& that there is a hunting page.....but wanted to get as much coverage as possible. I have a whitetail hunting trip booked for the last week of October in The lake of the Woods in western Ontario. There was supposed to be four of us going, but two had to cancel due to job issues. It's a fully guided firearms hunt that was booked for $2100, but the outfitter is willing to sell for $1800 to try and fill the spots.

I know it's getting late in the seaosn, but we wanted to give it our best to try and fill the spots! Any one interested feel free to send me a PM and I'll give you a shout so I can fill you in on more!

Thanks

Hello folks,

Just taking a moment to let every one know that I'm new to this forum but, am not only involved in fishing but also largely into hunting as well! I own a consulting agency from Vermont, I book hunts for many outfitters across the US & Canada. I have some great prices on firearm whitetail hunts in Saskatchewan & Ontario, plus some super hunts with archery for Ohio & Illinois. Please feel free to log onto my web site at http://www.foothillsoutdoorexpeditions.com and take a look at what we have to offer. I have six or seven new outfitters not yet listed on the site, including desinations such as New Foundland, Alaska & Wisconsin so please don't hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions!

Thanks-

hey matt ,looks like your picking the 2 best places in NY to fish. Ive been doing the Hudson for over 10 yrs so i might have a tip or two to tell ya , my ontario program still needs some work but youll pick up plenty of info from others on this site ,but ive been known to throw in my 2cents or is that 2scents ,,,.phew ... welcome to your new past time the L.O.U.

Thanks Ray! I've been doing the Hudson for the last four years, started out going with other guys, now taking my boat down there! It's a blast when they are in! My best is just shy of 30lbs so bigger next year! No doubt I can learn plenty from others here on LOU ... Believe me...I'm all ears!

Thanks tom! Looking forward to meeting lots of folks on here! I'm a member of the Champlain forum, great group of guys to chat with!

I fish for:Landlocks/Lakers On Champlain- BIG Stripers on the Hudson River

==================

I wanted to drop aline to all out there to say hi. I work as a firefighter from the City of Burlington, but try to be on the "flashpoint" as much as I can! I will have her down on the Hudson next spring for the Striper run, but this time of year usually finds us on Champlain prowling for landlocks/ lakers and an occasional steelie. I am hoping to have her out on the Big O next season, have grown up fishing VT but want to learn about the Ontario fishery as I know so many who have fished it!

Looking forward to chatting with every one, learning new techniques and of course making new freinds!
