Bottom one is a nice fat Atlantic! Nice work

We started out the first three hours of the day jigging in hopes to put a box together for the shootout. We just couldn’t find a good screen. We got one small king jigging in those 3 hours, and then decided to switch over to trolling to cover more water. We ended up heading off shore and put a decent box together. Decent enough for a 6th place finish which was pretty cool! FF and meat took our two biggest. Congrats to Rob, Bill, and the rest of the crew for the first place finish 💪🏼

Awesome Bill!

Missed a king right off the bat then the marks dried up. Decided to swing in to try in jig up some browns. We landed 3 browns and missed anther 6 or 7, a coho, and a laker. Not a bad way to spend the morning

Awesome bill!

Awesome morning out there Bill. Thanks for having me out!

Quick evening trip with my dad. We looked for smallmouth for most of the evening with no luck, so we slid out and dropped the jigs. My dad got a laker and I got a beautiful Atlantic. Missed a couple other hits. Beautiful night to be out

I had another friend out jigging yesterday, and he got an Atlantic yesterday too

Got out for my first troll of the year. I had my brother and both of our sons out this morning. We launched at 5 in search of king’s right off the bat. Fished 90-140fow. We went 3/5 on kings, but lost the best one on a diver pulling fake meat. We didn’t stick king fishing out long as we wanted to get the boys on some fast action. We dropped two rods with cow bells and gambler rigs in 130fow, and couldn’t keep two rods in the water. Biggest was just over 18 When the boys got tired, my brother and I broke out the jigging rods. We ended up going 4/6 on the jig. Landed 4 lakers, lost a laker, and lost an Atlantic right at the boat. All in all it was a great morning and the boys had an awesome time! It’s only going to get better from here.

Ahhh, so they showed up right around the 4th of July just like they do every year lol. Nice work Gary

XL Striker Trekker float suit. Brand new never worn. It fit me alittle big so I ordered a large and never got around to returning these. The suit is great. Keeps you very warm on the ice. Asking 175

What is everyone’s thoughts on the turkey population in the Rochester/greater Rochester area/nys? Seems like the numbers just keep going down each year. It could just be the spots I have, but I rarely ever see turkeys anymore even when driving. It’s not to say you can’t still kill birds, because you can. The numbers are just trash in my opinion. I would love if we went down to a one bird state for a few years. I think it would help tremendously. I also have noticed fishers popping up on every one of my pieces the last couple years, which never used to happen. Can a trapping season be opened in our area for them? I know they can hammer on the turkeys pretty good. The yotes also hammer on them this time of year. I can’t tell you how many times during turkey season I actively see coyotes hunting the turkeys. It would be nice to have a 365 day season like some states do. I know this is all a reach. It just sucks seeing the turkey numbers down to what they are right now. I wish something could be done.

Congratulations!!!

Great way to end the season this morning!

Billy dropping the hammer this year 💪🏼

Just a fat beauty

Nice work! Beautiful bird

So I wouldn’t normally smack a Jake, but my little guy wasn’t going to let me live it down if I didn’t shoot lol. He has been asking to go on a turkey hunt for the last year. This morning was it. He got up at 3:45 this morning ready to go. He is an impressive 3 year old. Just loves it. Anyway, no action till 8:30 until 3 jakes came in gobbling like crazy. Then beat the life out of our tom decoy. Really cool interaction for him to see. A morning to remember

That’s a beauty!
