There is very good article in North American Whitetail that addresses the very issue of hunting in early Oct.

Gist of the article was that the Cons out way the Pros of hunting before late Oct. Of course some people have

connected already.  Congrats to them.

That is a real nice buck! I would be happy with him too!

Real nice.  I hope I can do as well.  Is that a summit tree stand you got?

Really beautiful fish. It should go on the wall.

My 17 year old took this eight last Saturday. He watched him rub a tree and tend a scrape. Lot of fresh rubs on our properties. Second pic is the 4&1/2 year old doe he took opening morning before school. DEC aged it as an 8c doe earns a bonus tag ImageUploadedByLake Ontario United1412899860.490042.jpgImageUploadedByLake Ontario United1412899882.354077.jpg

Those two deer made a big mistake to walk in front of him.

That is a beauty.  Are you sure it was not 42 feet of  water and 53 inches?

If he sees a flash of horns and shoots at it, he should not own a gun and never hunt again.

_{Lots of people should not own guns or be hunting but they own guns and do go hunting.   Just the other day  a convicted felon was out squirrel}

_{hunting and killed his hunting partner.  The law prohibited him from having a gun but there he was out there with one.  Just saying that there are}

_{people who have itchy fingers and there are people who will break the law.}

That is a big doe. Should make drawing back on the buck easier now.

My two cents, if I may.   If you put a 3 or 4 point restriction out there ( which there is in some areas I hunt)

What is to stop someone from seeing a flash of horns and knocking the buck down and then walking over and

saying oops it does not meet the restriction  and then walking away and trying to kill another buck?  I think the one buck rule is a good idea and the best way to achieve more big bucks.

Nice buck.  Thanks for sharing the picture.

I tried the salmo hornet. Cast it and trolled it. Never caught a thing on it

My wife and I where on I-bay on Sat. 9-12pm and we had liitle success. Must have been in the wrong spots. Any suggestions?

It is hard to not find them there.  Most people just start out around the channel in 7-12 feet. Get close to drop off and dont crowd your neighbors and start reeling em in.   If you get on em they will hit anything.  When you get on them it is cast out or drop your line and count 1   2    3  and start reeling and you will have one.  Was out there Sat morning and it was especailly hard fishing because of the wind.   Did bring home 20-25 nice ones.   They sure tasted good

Sure wish you were closer Justin. Crappie are my absolute favorite fish to eat.  They are in all the waters I fish but I only get one or two after the spring bite.

It has started,caught over 100 fish today and 55 were keeper perch.  I caught 15 in a row dead or alive minnows were hot.  Fished from 8 am until 2 pm and quit when we ran out of baits.

Thanks Potsie.  Once it starts it stays on.

You did right Justin to let cooler heads prevail. It only takes a minute for something to escalate and something happen that you would like to take back.  Plus you can never tell if you are dealing with someone who is mentally unstable.   Easy to just boat away and fish another day or night.  Beside you have to figure if they dont  know how to boat correctly, they probably dont know how to fish either and you probably wont see them anymore

Looks like you had a great day. Nice catch!

Just beautiful! Beyond description!

My guess is not much yet although a few guys were getting some off the Charlotte Pier last week. Head to Lake Erie they are doing well in 60 fow off of Catt. Creek.

I would drive the distance to Erie for the walleye not the perch.   Would just as soon wait til they start at IBay.  Gas is

expensive. 

Nice.  I wanted to get out yesterday eve to try em but it didnt work out. Hope they dont decide to run up the river in mass in the next few days

Isn't it getting close to that time?   Is anyone picking any up yet?

Thanks

Frank

Nice catch. thanks for putting lure in to give size perspective.

Anybody out there? What is lake like today. It has been rough the last few days has it calmed down?

Thanks

Looks like you had an excellent trip!  WTG!

Went out with daughter and a couple friends at IBay around 5. Thought it might have settled. Did not settle enough to go

out to 80 feet to try for the salmon.  Turned around hung in the bay for a couple hours.   Too bad the perch are not in there yet.

Anyone have  a recent update? weather report said waves were supposed to lessen.   Has it?  Thanks
