Great thread and have enjoyed reading it. I went to a crossbow 5 years ago because of age and shoulder problems, and have taken a few deer with it. A couple things I can add to this, first you need an accurate rangefinder, second a solid rest, I use my knees and cup the bow, no offhand shots, third is wind plays hell with the light bolts, 50 yds. max for me. I had a monster at 50 yds this year for 45 minutes, had 2 lanes to shoot him, a solid rest, he never stopped in one, so I passed. 100 yds shots are not feasible either. It's basically the same as a bow to me, I look for shots 30 yds and in, can I shoot 50 yea, in a perfect condition. The problem with the crossbow infusion is people that never bow hunted are now hunting with the crossbow, using rifle metality out there. IMHO

Watch out, next thing you'll be spending the month of May on the Hudson docked with me!! Nice batch of stripers, congrats!

We fish from Marlboro to Cornwall, blood and sand worms, month of May.

Just to clarify my point of view, the penalty is not going far enough, calling officers and then having charges thrown out of court is not gonna cut it, IMHO.

I asked my son in law about the Russian barrage of snagging, also a co worker who both recently witnessed the activity, blatant snagging and throwing the fish on stringers, tasting of eggs stream side to be sold. I didn't know it was that prevalent, enforcement by DEC should include forfeiture of equipment on the spot, including vehicles holding these fish to be sold later. World Class fishery treated like trash, mind boggling.

Let me guess, lower gap? Nice bunch of fish, congrats!

Nice group of fish!

Hey fleet, are those gamma hooks? Myself and a few others were breaking them on stripers in the spring, seems they got into some problems recently with hardness, old ones will bend, new ones will snap. Anytime you put a pliers to them, they weaken also.

So let thIs be a lesson for all you guys fishing in musky infested waters, make sure you got 10 inch lures out with steel leaders, big ass nets, wire cutters for hooks, stop your salmon spread and reel in all the equipment so you can revive the fish and , oh ya, don't fish when the water is too warm, you might kill a musky by mistake. Don't take any pictures unless you have proof of release and don't hold that fish by the gill plate. I still feel like I missed something? Now I feel totally guilty of possession of a musky caught on a 4 inch rapala and ultralight rod.

In the mud with the brown trout equipment out of temp, around 100 to 150? I love riddles! Spoons dragged close to bottom, it's been awhile, used 3 1/2 inch spoons too.

Didn't know where to post this, I'm searching for a place close to Carlton island on the SLR to spend our summers fishing, looking for opinions good or bad on local mobile home parks with a protected slip. Thanks for any help.

The Great Lakes Fishery Commision has done a lot of walleye studies, but the eye focus is on erie for the most part and nothing for Lake Ontario. I did come across a study of the black river spawning grounds, too many high water events that washed the river bed down too the limestone bed, leaving no small gravel beds to spawn on.

There is a study being done to establish how many actual strains of eyes inhabit the river. There was a study done from 1983 to 1999 that showed gill net results were stable from 83 till 90 then trended up in 95 to record number in 99. Eyes were 3rd most abundant species behind perch and rock bass. It would be neat to see today's numbers. You can look for it at " Fish communities and Fisheries of lake st. Lawrance" on goggle.

Sure it's not a change oil alarm? My Suzi goes off every 200 hours, pain to reset without manual.

Make sure you get the CCA 's rated for your outboard, I didn't and everytime I started the engine the depth finder kicked off, fuel injected engines draw a lot of power.

Nice bunch of fish, especially the eyes, you would of thought the bite out in the lake was non existent this year, that's for sharing.

I bought my 90 grady in 2010 down in Virginia, guy had repowered the boat with a suzuki in 2006 and had 200 hours on it, I took it out for sea trial, ran great, bought it next weekend. Boat is solid and dry, changed out zincs and thermostat and water pump, still running strong with 450 hrs. Boat was always housed at garage, no slip usage. I did examine the engine mounting bolts and removed the nuts and used large aluminum plates for backing as the washers were pulled into the glass more than I liked. I did put money into the galvanized trailer, coupler and disk brakes which I new would need work.

I've caught them trolling cap vincent area of river, late summer.

Real nice rig you're running now fleet , keep them coming, always taking a look here for new pics.
