i often use bb shot on passing ducks results in fewer cripples,4 shot for decoying birds works well.have to shoot when their wings are open for chest shots.set decoys for bo more than thirty yards.This results in very few cripples and wasting shells.Besides birds are often in decoys where shots are prohibited.Second half we use over 100 divers and a few puddle and a wonderduck flyer or two.
Good luck.now hunt ducks till 9 than perch fish at sodus
Always got good info at Roys marina on where to fish for perch.They were more than happy to cue others in on the fishing.Usualy Glass factory bay or across the lake is good.
The perch do spook easy so caution is advised in approaching other boats.
i heard some fish being taken in deep water sodus already,look for other boats or have a good fishfinder to find the schools.Last year the fish moved around alot.Year before was better.Should be good many big perch caught on the lake this ummer.
Bass are on the feed nowCrank baits worked for me the other night,Im going to try some soft shells or worms today after I find some fish trolling.Went out for trout and salmon yesterday.Lots of fish around but lock jawed
we have a hole out side pultneyville also. It to is nw of port and drops off to almost 60 ft then rises up to fifty.In past years when the salmon stocking was high ,it was a good spot.The last several years I have seen few fish in there .Maybe Fairhaven is getting more salmon in the spring to stock then we do.Great reports.Good thing J plugs are still productve somewhere.
NICE VIDEO,WONDER IF THERE ARE OTHER MANUFACTORS MAKING THE CAMERA.wOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD BEAM UP THE VIDEO THROUGH A TRANSDUCER AND SAVE THE CABLE AND HAVE LESSER DRAG.
fishing was slow at pultneyville three hits last two trips.Had one on a melondue flasher with bait but it broke the line at the release.
temperature was 80 down tons of fish in 80 to 100 feet ,some kings also.Think maybe a very early trip might be mosy productive .If not move out to deep water and fish next years crop.
Absoluley no boats out from bear creek to sodus.
Best thing was water was great to troll and had a beautful sunset and full moon rise along with great company.
there is a 26 penyan out of putneyville the boats name is fish hopper and he does very well using it.Catches alof fish and stable,better than my 268 searay with sterndrive.
The last two trips out of Pultneyville I have met only one other boat fishing in sight.There are many fish to be had and find it hard to belive more would not be out.This summer was also barren on the lake for fellow fishermenFew boats were out till the fall derby.In past years there would be many boats in sight.
Ive always kepy my boat in till November.This year the lake is higher than normal so docks should be good till november.
Fishing was also good with returning to spring tactics boated many a fish.Even venturing offshore for immature salmon is a good bet.
the longer we keep fishing the shorter the winter for sure.
many mature kings deep in offshore water.I have found few matures crusing the shoreline near pultneyville Maybe a month unless we get a cold water inshore.
Went out late t
onight, 8 lb. Brown on mountain dew paddle , mirage fly ran out of fish wind picked up.great sunset , nice fish,may is along time to wait to fish the lake, tomorrow will great, temp at eighty feet
Today I saw that these flashers now come with a kicker plate for slower action.Does anyone have any experience with this new product.It sounds like something that would be worthwhile for the late kings.
Thanks
i fish the big O but would like to fish walleye in erie.I dont have any experiece with worm harnesses but would like to learn.Have a good 19ft. al set up for T&S. All I need is walleyes in front of me.
temperature was 85 down and moving up tonight out of pultneyville.there were alot of fish marked today but fishing was slow for us also.Tomorrow Im going back and try runing silver hordes over Sd.From what happened today fishing was best before 8.00 amSundays wind caused the slow down today.never give up.
I just saw this on the web.Now that would eliminate rough days on the big O.If I buy another boat it will be a trawler.

monday ill mix them up more.ill try both leads and speeds suggested.monday through thursday looks great for fishing,light south winds no little rain.What I need now is a experienced crew to keep things moving along.Parkinson slows me down alot.
I havnt had much luck with spin doctors.Wondered if there were any good videos out there to help with using these attractors . I run my speed about 2 and set my flys at about 27 inches.I have no problem with echips or paddles.
