After going to the gym this morning I decided to take a look for some late morning turkeys. I walked over a hill and saw a bunch of jakes at the far end of the field. Set up and called but they didn't respond so I made a move and got within 125 yards and set up again. After 45 minutes and no response I decided I'd move over and check the spot out for a good place to setup some morning. To my and their surprise I popped up 25 yards from 6 jakes that were lounging in the edge of the field. Could have shot any of them but they just stood up and I let them slowly walk away. Likely the wind masked my noise.

What a beautiful fish -
Still been able to hear gobbles and see some birds each morning. Likely a short hunt this morning if the predicted rain arrives. -
Spent a crappie afternoon with my wife and her sister
Kevin J Legg replied to Kevin J Legg's topic in Panfish
We ended with 14 crappies. They were in shallow on spawning area and all males so they are just getting started. -
After getting shut out fishing Chaumont for walleyes this morning I took my wife and her sister to a local lake for panfish. We had to do some searching but finally located a group of males and were able to come away with a decent catch of crappies and a few bluegills mixed in. The water temperature rose nearly 10 degrees since yesterday morning!

Fished Chaumont this morning and didn't move a rod. Tried in the Bay and ran out to the tip of Long Point. Tried riggers, boards and lead cores. Deep diver, spoons , and stickbaits. 10-45 fow. Never marked much except some marks on the bottom. No bait marked but saw some dimpling on the tip of Long Point. Never saw a net moved on any other boat. Thought warm weather might get them going but I guess not. -
Very exciting Roybee. Had a friend that caught one at Lisbon a couple years ago. That one was foul hooked.

Great bird fisherman85. I had 9 jakes in front of me all morning . Three finally made there way into my decoys at 20 yards. Passed on them as I'm waiting for a Tom.

I generally fish the Canadian side. May head up this week after boat traffic subsides. Also may try Chaumont or Black River Bay

I heard mixed results at Lisbon. Some guys caught a nice bunch and others had a tough time. The guys that stayed and fished Quinte today had a much better morning with a limit of fish 16-22".

Fished opener with bunch of great guys at Mr. Walleye's. Yesterday we weren't able to locate good fish. Took plenty of small fish 13" and under which bodes well for the next couple years. Lots of people on the water and didn't see many decent fish netted. Caught enough for a delicious fish fry last night but only a few over 14". I came home early to turkey hunt tomorrow and was sent a text that they had three over 19" this morning. Always enjoy my time at the Loon's Nest on Green Point.

I've heard gobbles and seen birds every morning. Just roosted 3 jakes and a Tom but there were also 8 hens. Know where I'lll be in the morning but might be tough with all those eyes and hens. Then I'm off to Canada in the afternoon.

We caught 4 walleyes over 10 lbs. one night. An three 15 lb. Browns another. I haven't fished it in a couple years. I'm going to fish Quinte with a group of friends this weekend. -
Boy are those beauties. I haven't fished Seneca for perch in about 40 years. They sure dwarf the 13 inch "jumbos" I occasionally catch.

I'm headed to Quite this weekend for the opener with a group of friends.

I believe Fleet Tracker has nailed this topic seems like brown fishing has been better west of Mexico. -
Prof T and I caught around 45 at Eel Bay today. Females are now smaller and half are spawned out and males are mixed in. Thinking the end is near. -
Sitting in a blind on a guiet foggy morning, hearing the world come alive with the sound of song birds and gobbles is a great way to hear from God and appreciate his creation. I had 3 jakes appear in the fog which were joined by 2 more. They were fanning and chasing out around 200 yards. Decided to sneak out and try some perch fishing and when I did 3 more birds had joined in the show. Managed to take around 25 perch after the short hunt.

Some hunts aren't defined by the length of the birds beard. My wife shot a jake this morning but we had a fabulous time. After roosting a bunch of birds last night. We set up in a pop up blind. Had one gobbling right from the get go. A deer came in to the decoys and blew when it got our scent. Birds began flying down and talking and put on a great show. Three toms and a bunch of jakes showed up and I called one jake into the decoys. She held off for a while but as the other birds began moving away she decided to take the jake. We got to see the whole show and had a exciting time. -
Oswego Browns

Nice report -
Scouting is the most important part of the hunt. -
Nice job. -
Had one roosted in a tree about 35 yards from my blind. 3 birds were gobbling about 125 yards away. They flew down and I gave a couple soft yelps and two hens flew down 20 yards away and walked by me calling. 7 jakes were following and walked by single file. I picked the largest one that was fanning.

Last morning to scout turkeys before tomorrow's opener. I have two roosts located and birds have been there three days in a row. One nice Tom in one group but there seem to be many jakes this year and fewer toms. The rain may not be good for tomorrow but I'm fairly confident that I'll have fun chasing birds this spring. Donna won't hunt tomorrow but hope to get her out next week.

Fished with Prof T at Eel Bay. Slow start with murky 48 degree water. By noon the temp. was up to 50 degrees and the bite improved. We ended up with about 30 perch and 2 bullheads in 6.5 fow. Some nice females that still are not spawned out.
