We trolled sunday AM did okay, GRAND slam on the south end. No size however... We then took the Kayaks out and fished for bass and whatnots. Did really well, All smallies and bucket mouths. Paddled over to the pier and fished around there and tried some jigging.. No luck over there.. We do need water.. Lots! there are fish in the canal... Nick

yes thats a great one! I bleed out fish for clients, plus it makes for easier cleaner fillets. Also, I have a recipe, Soy sauce, Italian Dressing and brown sugar- mix of equal parts till a thick syrup is made then marinate fish in sauce. DELICOUS!

I do not think the new strain is good, no but I do hope it promotes the bow fishing. As far as the fall run atlantics, the Dec watches them, but it's all during hunting seasons peak so they are busy elsewhere... When I said I don't waste.. I meant that I won't waste that specific fish. I will not take my chances keeping 1 too many fish it is not worth the fine. however just for example during the memorial day tournament when we do I big fish Friday we got a 10 pound rainbow and a 8 pound rainbow we did release both of those fish because it was just not worth winning 200 dollars to me to ruin two fish that were beautiful and healthy. I don't like to keep short fish.. even if legal, hardly any meat on them. I like a good eating fish, not a fish that is like eating "fish sticks". I want to see the bow population back to what it was when I was riding a tricycle around. Good old days are gone.. It's all opinions... The DEC deals with the facts? Or do they....

Imo, if you believe the one fish rule is something that shouldn't of happened, the DEC would probably like comments and concerns.. I know they like any feedback I've given. Wheather good or bad.. Nick [ Post made via Android ]

There is a polarized film for inside the case lens that will stop the glare and also prevent fog up on lens. EBay has them cheap. [ Post made via Android ]

ttt one more time

There will always be guys taking over their limits.. I know on my charters, I ask the clients if they do not mind releasing a bow. I ask them if they are okay with one bow per boat per trip and 10 out of 10 say let them all go! Which is awesome! We get our pictures and away they go.. Sure some get hooked badly and were forced to keep them, but I will not waste any fish no matter the species! This new rainbow regulation is great. The DEC stocked many bows in Catherine this past year. Will it help? Who knows time will heal, now were losing a strain of fish ang gaining another if it takes. I do know, this year was a great year for bows from may-end of august. I can not complain. I support the support of the rainbow regulations and I for sure am glad they made to decision to follow through. I fish the bows year round from stream to the lake and love C&R on these guys. I keep my share of Atlantics. Better off getting them in the lake because by the time they run the creek, they are snagged up, litterally.

Looks like a beautiful area. Nice video.

General report, check it out two weeks ago, low and clear, dame for all flx streams. Few more weeks. The mouths are great fishing currently... [ Post made via Android ]

What Wes stated was perfect. Even the lead core rods would be a great investment when the time comes. If you really want to get geared up watch this site like Wes stated. Even go to the sportsman shows! Finger lakes has a great one in watkins every year.. [ Post made via Android ]

I perform 99% of my own maintenance and repairs.. however, hank has saved my butt a few times. I owe him big. One of these times I see him again, I will repay him. He's a great guy. We are all blessed with this site to meet people of our own... LOU community is great.. [ Post made via Android ]

Hey guys, I was bored tonight so I made a short slideshow. Enjoy and tight lines. Nick

I was fortunate to compete in the oswego pro-am and the atomik invitatonal. I couldn't of had more fun! However, I have fished these tournaments in the past. (pro-am) and from what I have seen and heard. They have changed drastically in just the few years I have been present. I agree with the award ceremony being upped, so to speak. I ran my own tournament this past year. WOW, what a great success. And this was on Seneca. Tom, our two tournaments were alike. Maybe not in size and some rule differences, but alike in concept. We ran a small boat format of 14 boats at a $275 entry fee. $25 of it covering teams food at the awards ceremony. Everyone loved it. The invitational, same thing! Great food and great people. I would think that with the pro-am being so big that they could take the step to do the same thing or at least come close. I look forward to fishing with and against all of you in the future. I hope to see tournaments like yours and mine for a long time coming... One thing I learned though is that YOU can NEVER please everyone.... If there is a way I could aid Ob your or any tournament organization I would love to help... Nick. [ Post made via Android ]

There has been some brutes caught recently. This past winter an 18 pounds northern was caught... Last season I got a 13# pike off my dock in early april in the canal casting mepps #4 spinners. The early months we tend to get quite a few in the canal along with bass and pickeral. The bass fishing this year was great as well. I found myself flipping posts while waiting for clients every weekend... No complaints! [ Post made via Android ]

Neat! There is a boat on seneca that has them. I guess on his way from where he got it he took a log between the two units and jammed it up... Had to pull it to get it out. An awesone set up though. [ Post made via Android ]
