The browns might survive better if the state stocked at night.It also could put more in sodus bay away from the cormorants.Up here in pultneyville Ive seen just a few birds,dont know if the stock went in yet.

They do prey on the stockers and roost here in the harbor when they come in.

The harbor had some great fishing for browns last fall

Alot easier to release with the cold water

Great job

I hope they do a better job than the messed up VA.

I have been fishing west of pultneyville sort of slow .clear water 38 deg water

were you fishing east of Hughes?

Thanks for lure selection

tomorrow looks good now all i need is a crew to help, solo doesnt like boards

thanks

john

Hughes marina might be open. They have a 10 per launch fee. Bear harbor use to cost $100 season non resident 

I never got to use the one I bought a few years ago.

Lake looks good out of Pultneyville maybe next week the lake will die down some

I had 3 deer cross the pond last cold spell probably 4 inches now

Any good report of broadbills on Seneca yet?

Thanks 

John 

According to reports from sodus bay it will be awhile before any safe ice

Boats are still being launched at the county ramp 

Thurday looks like a good day for cast and blast

Bluebills and perch lol

Happy Holidays 

John 

finally got perch fishing again.The low water has kept in off the water till today.Arneys has a decent ramp if you need deeper water.$10 charge or take your chances at the town ramp where I couldn't launch(shallow)

I looked around seems 35 ft was a good place anywhere in the bay.(middle of bay)

Fishing was good but not many big ones

stingnose jigging spoon worked great.

Happy Holidays

Last sunset on the lake for the Blue Dolphin this year

Not many fish in harbor now

I bought a used 91 seanymph 19 ft gls for $700 

It was a trade in

Put my 88 120 evinrude and 9.9 kicker

Very fast .deep

It's open now so I put a minkota for bass

It's also a great duck boat handles big water well

I worked for a company who was doing a great deal of work there. Millions of dollars have been invested the last 3 years with many more millions for the second phase. For some vets its the only place they can go. It is truly sad when you walk through the place and see our vets in such bad shape. Hopefully things will improve there in the near future. SEMPER FI.

Thanks for your taking time to visit with the vets.There are some loyal staff there .

I've tried to get the va to bring the vets up for fishing without any sucess

One guy brought some vets to Hughes ,the VA fired him.

It won't change till veteran groups make it happen.

They have lost many vets there this year just plain neglect.

Certainly a day for reflection and appreciation; especially with respect to all our injured and fallen brothers and those who sacrificed in the past.

 

I've included an image I made for the front page of the Canandaigua newspaper back in 2004 when there was a push to close the VA here. It is still appropriate Represents past, present and future veterans

I have volunteered there for several years. Care there has gone downhill so much I had to report the neglect 

The vA retaliated by revoking my volunteer status

They run the place like a POW camp.the few vets who live there a sad  way the end your life.

It's all about jobs vets are a nuisance. 

Do every vet a favor shut it down.

It was like summer today

Lots of trout but you had to find colored water 50 deg on top

Hope it sticks around

15 plus

Went out late marked tons fish water temp 48.lots of bait 35 ft

Hey get out if you can summer is back

Lol

Search out on You Tube for a show on Brown Trout fishing for brown trout on Oak Orchard Creek here in New York State while the Brown Trout return for their fall spawning season. Fly rods and "artificial?" lining are featured. Also is a show on Russian River combat fishing near the Kenai River in Alaska where the daily limit has been increased to nine Red Sockeye salmon daily since the fifty thousand salmon quota for spawning the the Russian River Lake system has been reached. Too many salmon in the lake can collapse the yearly spawning success. A similar fishing with artificial 3X hooks is used there and the red salmon are the finest eating salmon there is. We brine them with a sweetened brine before smoking them and the result called eskimo candy.

Back in 2000 we went to alaska in july.It was a great trip except for fishing.Made one boat trip up kenia and no catch.I saw few fish being caught.Saw some moose on shore.

I catch all the salmon I want all summer long here and its only a ten minute drive.

lake ontario is by far the best fishing for salmon .

I didnt catch many browns during summer as I fished cold water.The browns are here best run Ive seen in years

How is erie walleye now?

Yesterday was great on browns 

Today was slow ene winds

Typical 5 lbs some big ones

Bayrats

20ftw

Browns are hitting eell.spring tactics 

Took a ride today

Kings are still offshore

Best views 40 to 60

First cast

Last evening I fished awhile water 65 again

Marked a few big fish 

Looks like a better chance for SMB

They are their fall feed cycle

Did see a number.o boat out deeper.

Nice smoky sunset

went out sunday afternoon.Cold water 52 in harbor mouth.45 degrees in 40 ft.Found some bait in 30 to 45 marked few fish.Went further out found 60s on top in 75 ft.

On the way back in harbor water was back in the 60s.

Marked few fish on the trip probably better close to shore except for the gin water doesn't help

Today went down 56 degrees in harbor but no fish water very turbid maybe better tomorrow.

last year I took a large king off my boat at the dock.hasn't seen even a early rainbow yet.

There is always tomorrow 

Lots of cold water inside

Had only a couple of hours marked few fish

My bet is flat lines and boards 

Not many fish in creeks

Later today another try.

Had a great day matching with BLM folks

I went out for bass late,slow action there so I went further to 60 ft.Lots of fish off the bottom like every year.In past years before the quaggas dragging the bottom was the ticket for late kings.Anyone know of a rig that would avoid this problem?

Going out later when the wind is supposed to drop.

One rig I often use is a spin doctor or pro chip off the rigger not more than 10 ft with a stacked J-plug with a rattler following ,took many fish,not many though in warm water we are seeing this year.
