Funny story. There is a field next to a heavy traveled road on my way to work that always has a bird or 2 in it daily. Been watching for the last few weeks as there has been different guys trying to hunt it. Some days I could see the guys setup on the edge and the birds strutting in the field. Last week or so, I have only been seeing the hens so I figured the were successful. Yesterday guys were there and again only hens. Then comes June 1st .... big boy was right in the middle in full strut!!! Made me giggle. Not that the hunters were unsuccessful but the intelligence of the birds Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well, roosted another long beard last night but had to work at 7:00 this a.m.. thought I'd give it a quick hunt and see. Well, long story short, I got lucky again and made it to work a few minutes early. Sorry for lack of photos, was in a hurry..My wife and I had a good season and can't wait for next year!! Good luck to everyone else. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Minimal calling is always better. I like to get them fired up and then shut up. As long as they know where you are, they will find you!! If their hot, most of the time they can't take the silence and come looking.. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

No joke ! Most of the time we are trolling with riggers. 8-10lb mono on 10-11' light rods. It's a blast, especially the big slobs that won't budge off bottom , haha . I'll dig up some pics. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I agree with most info here except the depth cutoff. I have had my best days much, much deeper.. I fish them off North East and they are deep all summer as well. I enjoy fishing them with light tackle and noodle rods. A much better battle and bringing them up slower has a much better survival rate. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
