    Bear seen in Jefferson County

    in Big / Small Game

    Posted

    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.

    We fished from West of Catfish to Port Ontario all water was clear but in front of Salmon river. There we found water to 50 degrees and colored but still no hits. Most of the rest of the places we tried had clear water 45-47 degrees. Fished mostly 5-20 fow but did try out to 25 fow. Tried speeds from 1.8-2.4 and leads back to 150 “ and various colors of sticks and spoons. Ran an 8 rod spread and never moved a rod in 4 hours.

    Just check the weather and avoid strong W NW or SW winds. Lighter wind or winds out of S or E should be no issue. I fish my 18’ Lund Alaskan with no issues. Just avoid fishing in waves over 2’ as it isn’t very comfortable although the boat can handle it.

    Also you won’t need to be far off shore fishing browns.

    Windfinder.com is a pretty decent source for wind speed, direction and wave heights.

    IMG_2363.JPGAfter reading the dangers of fresh water lox I decided to try it. Froze the skinned fillets for a week then put them in 50/50 mix of Kosher Salt and sugar with some dill weed. Vacuum sealed and put in refrigerator with a plate and weight on top. Left 2 days remove bones, rinsed and sliced thin. Then candled to search for parasites.

    Best electric filet knife, Bubba blade vs American angler pro?

    I bought a plug in Bubba and it has worked flawlessly. Also a little less expensive than American Angler and extremely dependable and efficient. Also comes with 4 blades but I like the thin ones. I burned out several Mr Twisters and have used the Bubba for a year and had no issues. It doesn’t even get warm or bog down after doing 100 perch nonstop and I’ve never had to change a blade.

    Fish Fry

    I’ve tried many as believe this one is best. Roll in flour then mix sparkling water with flour till you have a thin batter (similar to tempura) then dip in panko and deep fry. They come out nice and crispy and brown and you never get the oil foaming up like with egg wash. Also can reuse the oil and they don’t seem to absorb any grease.
