Got this 10" main beard with 4 total beards, 7/8" Spurs and weighed 18.9 lbs. had two groups coming from two directions while set up in a hedgerow. Had 5 toms within 60 yards and hens in the decoy before they moved off. Pulled decoys waited an hour and this guy returned. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Haven't fished them in a few years but I got a tip from a buddy yesterday and picked some worms last night and rigged some rods with bobbers. My wife and I fished from 7:00-8:30 and it was nonstop action with many doubles. Ended up with a pail and a half (65 bullheads) It brought back lots of memories of fishing with our parents and our kids. Would love to have had my grandsons with me! I got them all cleaned and packaged and will be eating some fresh and giving some to friends. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Saw 3 Toms and 2 hens next to my pop up around noon today. Been seeing lots of single hens which indicates they may be nesting. Smaller groups of Toms and hens scattered around. Weather not looking great for opening day. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

My wife is some better after about 3 weeks. I may be slightly better than last week. Lots of it going around. Mine seems to migrate from sinus to bronchitis. My daughter is a Doctor and treated me with antibiotic on our visit but she thinks it is viral. Just got to hang in there and hope I don't have a coughing fit when a big Tom approaches.

Set up three ground blinds for rainy days and cut out three other natural blinds where I can sit. Big groups appear to have broken up and plenty of strutting activity around. Now if I can just shake this cough that I've had for two weeks! Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Pretty early in the year to find any salmon. Generally browns are found in the shallows from the cut down toward Stony Point and Stony Creek this time of year but there haven't been many reports yet this year. Western end of the lake seems to be getting better bite particularly on the salmon which is typical for spring. Need to search for good colored water with good temperature. Search mode is the way to go. Lakers should be available in deeper water if you want to try for them. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Slower morning at Eel Bay. About a half pail each. Still good eats! Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Brief scouting trip this morning. 3 Longbeards with a few hens right where they are every year. Nice that they are way back off the road so they can't be seen. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Glad I decide to stay on the river. We caught about 60 nice perch. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Since I haven't heard much positive on the browns we decided to forgo the lake and sleep in and hit the perch again on the SLR. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Fished the Mexico area twice last week and fishing was slow. Three small browns on Monday me two mediums on Friday. Haven't heard any reports on Henderson/Stony Creek area yet this year. Was wondering if anyone has any information as I'm thinking of fishing tomorrow and launching at Stony would save some time and gas. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

i bury all my fish remains in my garden and have for years. Yes, occasionally something digs some up but I'm certain several hundred pounds are buried each year and I have a big garden. I do wonder if the toxins that they may contain makes their way into the vegetables and fruit I harvest? At any rate it's likely healthier than most of what you purchase in the super market. It is kinda tough to bury a bucket full of perch remains after filleting and knowing that if I sold the perch whole the guts would have been worth$50. I still prefer the fillets as I'm uncertain how I feel about commercial fishing. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I always wanted to take fly rods on the boat and drift or anchor when we hit a pod trolling shallow water. We've often talked about it but you're doing it! Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Seeing lots of birds out strutting their stuff. Winter groups are breaking up and birds seem to be very active. Good numbers .of birds have been spotted in my area. Saw one group last week with 12 longbeards! Still a little early to really scout as they change their habits as the grass greens up. Also I've hunted my areas many years and they seem to frequent the same roosts and strut zones every year so I don't need to do a great deal of scouting.

Been hitting them pretty well the last week and catching a pail or two each of the last 4 trips. Perch we caught today were mostly spawned out. Nice average size. Mr Walleye caught a pail like this one I caught. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

There are some hard core crappie fisherman up here. They can be caught in the river but many of the Indian River Lakes also have good populations. Timing is everything. When your timing is right and they move into shallow water they are pretty easy to target. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Many of the marinas and bays have crappies that move in as the water warms and bait moves in. Try fishing around docks, overhanging or downed trees or other cover in bays or up tribs. Minnows and a float are a traditional method. After this early bite, which may begin before ice out, they move in to spawn in similar areas. This is generally in May.

Fished three times in the last week and caught over a pail of perch each outing. Lots of throw backs but also some over 12". Froze up 15 packages this morning. Today some of them were already spawned out so the bite won't last. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I'm away for a few days. Likely fishable very soon. I'll give you an update when I return.

Not sure if it will be Lisbon, Chaumont, Black River Bay, or Quinte. So little time, so many choices. Likely to hit them all in the first couple weeks.

Have to agree with a lot of what has been said. I'm a retired teacher and guided summers on the SLR for 18 years. Mine was more of a hobby business but I do know it would be tough to depend on only guiding for a year round income. You certainly would need good business sense and breakdowns can quickly cut profits. I would certainly start out part time, build your clients and see where it takes you. One other thing, it does become a job. The recreational enjoyment goes away and you look forward to a change from days on the same water. I downsized and now enjoy taking friends and family and can affordably do it with my smaller boat. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Goose Bay still ice covered. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Heard some guys fished yesterday and the gap was opening up. Went back to check this morning and jam ice blew in to make it unfishable today. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
