  1. I'm in Tenn. right now but I know the ones at Krings are spawned out.
  2. Nice slab. Good not to tell exact location to protect those smaller lakes.
  3. I think with the late opener fish will likely be out in the bay. Bull rock might be a good place to start.
  4. I was wondering the same thing. 6 oz seemed big.
  5. My son did not share the same passion for hunting and fishing as I do. I did take him when he was younger but he was not overly interested in getting up early. (I bought him a lifetime license) Later when he was at Penn State he came home one May and we were able to double on two mature toms and a week latter I guided him to a second bird. He seems more interested now and actually just bought some fishing gear. Unfortunately he is now living in Oklahoma City. He's a great young man and I cherish the time we spend together.
  6. Great story and memories made.
  7. Tried an afternoon trip today. Fished 17-25 fow toward Selkirk and moved in to 8-12 fow but had no takers. Water got muddy and was up to 59 degrees? Ran to Catfish and water was cooler and clearer finally hit 2 Browns and a released smallmouth an hour before sunset. Ran riggers, lead cores, and boards changing everything up. Both Browns hit spoons off boards in 6-8 fow. No fish off riggers or lead cores or in deeper water. DEC was surveying anglers and checking fish at the launch.
  8. Back at it this morning birds in same field and also located two other toms.
  9. Went on a short scouting walk and found four groups of birds on the roost. A Tom and a couple jakes and hens came out in a field. I backed away to observe. Ended up with 12 jakes and a Tom and some hens strutting and chasing. Great show and promising for opening day. Also brushed out a couple spots to set up in.
  10. Thanks fore the advice Rich. Tried deep. And shallow . Two hits came in deeper water. Didn't try the lead cores but ran 100-130 back with split shot and off riggers. I checked lines and switched things up frequently so debris wasn't an issue. Caught the one we got on a bay rat with no weight so it wasn't running very deep in 17 fow. Took today off to scout turkeys.
  11. We tried out of Stony yesterday and found cold clear water and no fish. Picked up and went to Mexico and picked up 6 in shallow. Today we fished Mexico from Catfish to Port Ontario and only caught one.
  12. We were lucky to catch one last minute fish. Tried changing depths, speed, colors, leds, size ad style of spoons and sticks, and locations and only went 1 for 2 in 7 hours. Fished west to Catfish and water was clear ran east to Selkirk and found muddy water to Port Ontario but no fish. Ran back west and picked one up late on the day on a Bay Rat in 17 fow. Ran 8-9 rods all day.
  13. Some on stingers, some on small Bay rats and others on a variety of sizes and colors of other spoons and sticks. No real pattern that we determined. Colors ranged from chartreuse to copper. Give them a mix and figure out what they want. It can change daily.
  14. Fished with Mr Walleye and Landshark this morning and went 8 for 9. 41 degree water with a mudline 10-20 fow. Spoons and sticks off boards and riggers. No real pattern, caught them on various colors of sticks and spoons.
  15. Thanks for the report will be headed down midweek.
  16. Thanks for the post. Will be headed down after the cold weekend and wind dies down.
  17. I've been out twice this spring. Caught 5 and 6 Browns in my two outings. Friday looks like it might be pretty rough so keep an eye on the weather. Strong west winds are rough and south or east winds are more manageable. Browns are generally available from ice out through May in the shallows 7-15 fow. After water warms a bit they move to deeper water but can still be targeted. Check out post to see what is working.
  18. It's been cold he last couple weeks. Looks like there will be some warmer weather late next week which should get the Browns going. Just look for colored water a few degrees warmer than the rest. Often that is found at a river mouth. Sticks and spoons off planners work for me.
  19. I general start down by Mexico early and work my way east to Stony and Henderson as the water warms. Have caught Browns along much of the shore and even out around Stony Island and Black River Bay. Look for water a few degrees warmer with some color and you will likely find Browns. Sticks and stingers off boards in 7-15 fow off boards work well for me.
  20. While visiting my daughter in NJ we saw an antlered 4 point in her back yard yesterday. Seems to be pretty late in the year to still be carrying a rack but it was a small deer.
  21. I always get my boat in as soon as possible but a little warmer water will only help. Sounds like you're ready for a good year pap!
  22. Saw a post that walleyes were running up at Rossie. Always a good time to watch them.
  23. Great brown. We had a slow pick but finally managed to limit out with larger about 6 lbs. fished in 7-14 fow with plenty of stain and 41-43 degrees. Most caught off boards on Bay Rat and stinger spoons.
