Finished my season with a decent Tom. It took quite a while for him to come but once some hens moved toward decoys he and his buddy came in fast. They came about 150 yards across a plowed field to my decoys. I was actually sitting on a couch in a vacant house trailer and shot him out the open door which had a big piece of cardboard with a shooting port cut out to hide my movement. Had seen them near there on my last hunt so decide to use this set up as an improvised blind. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Good luck to you! Post how you make out. I tried BRB last week and got skunked. Haven’t fished the river except for perch. Love this time of year. We were going to Cape Cod for black sea bass next week but now it looks like it may be to windy. So much to do so little time in May! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

When number are low young female will come into estrus early rather than just the Alpha female. This helps increases population. Also when population are high they have low pup numbers and when low they have many more pups. They seem to regulate their populations within an areas carrying capacity. I was also amazed how they have adapted to life in large cities like LA and NY. Certainly a jack of all trades. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I’m reading the book Coyote America. Very in-depth look into coyote history across the US. Quite interesting how they can actually control their population so when levels are low they produce more offspring. Even if you were able to take out 70% of the population a year their populations would be basically unaffected. Poison, bounties, trapping, hunting, and anything else we have tried hasn’t stop them from expanding their range as they are very adaptable and eat a wide variety of foods. Studies show that 60% of their diet is mice and other rodents. Author also said that while they do take some fawns and even some adults deer over time they have little affect on deer populations. An interesting read on how nature and carrying capacity work in population regulation. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Walleye this time of year
Kevin J Legg replied to jlrjoz's topic in St. Lawrence River Fishing Reports - 1000 Islands Fishing
That’s a great video and shows there is an abundance of walleyes in the river. It also shows why presentation and boat control are so important in successfully fishing here due to the quick changing rocky structure they often relate to. Many areas along the channel hold fish and we regularly catch them in similar areas but finding a workable presentation without loosing lots of gear is the issue. Definitely not easy for first timers to the area or novice fishermen. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -

Don’t believe you will have much success with side planer fishing the river as the bottom contour changes continually and current also must be dealt with. Boat control is critical and often you need to be right on a contour break. I have had some excellent nights with long-lining deep divers on the river in water from 15-25 feet and sometimes much deeper catching suspended fish. I have all caught them in even shallower water on longlines. Riggers and bottom bouncers as well as jigging all are go to methods on the river with the boat passing directly over the fish. Not sure if it’s the current or the ships that travel the waters that allow these methods to be effective. That said the fish often will move off the structure after 2-3 passes. When fishing Chaumont, Black River Bay, Bay of Quinte, Oswego or other regions of Lake Ontario boards definitely are a good way to go. However, the river with it’s unique characteristics seems to require different tactics. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
Love poor mans shrimp using horseradish from the garden to make homemade cocktail sauce but it’s hard to beat fried perch using my wife’s relish for homemade tartare sauce. Seems like no mater how much I cook there are seldom leftovers. We’ve had a tremendous spring with perch and have many stocked up in the freezer.

Sat my brother Keith in afield I had scouted and had set up a blind in. He will be 76 years old in July. He also had quadruple heart bypass 2 years ago and both knees replaced since then. Very glad I could put him on a bird.Tom flew down across the field and strutted. 2 hens flew down closer to him. Tom ended up coming to 40 yards and he flattened it. No decoy and he never made a call. Guess I had him wired. I passed on a Jake at 15 yards and a Tom about 55 yards and was only about 300 yards behind my house. Saw them crossing the field there last night. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app There was even snow on the ground

Just saw my first Jefferson County NY black bear. I was returning home tonight after scouting turkeys and it was only about a 1//2 mile from my house. I think it was 1 year old, about 50 lb., like a stocky dog and 50 yards away. I’ve had a trail cam photo but this was my first sighting. I wasn’t able to get my phone out in time for a photo. They are beginning to show up more frequently and several have been seen within a mile of my house in the last couple years. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
