I’m a weekend fishing guy who grew up on the lake and catches a few every year. If I put 5-6 in the frig that’s all I need. I see a lot of fish go in boxes on this website and see posts of guys catching them for friends and relatives. I don’t follow the DEC number reports closely, but from a weekender’s point of view it seems like the fishing is good. Lots of respect to the charters but you seem to do well on numbers. Could we not be letting as many go to grow?

Sounds about right. I was guessing close to 20#. He was all of 36” and round.

Can’t stop thinking about this one…. Fished Sandy Creek yesterday and picked this laker over 140 ft. We didn’t have a scale and we’re not in the derby so we sent her back down. Almost don’t want to ask but any guesses on weight?

I picked this Savage 1899 250-3000 up last year when a friend offered it. Carried it once during deer season and filled a doe tag then put it away. I don’t feel like it fits me well so I’m trying to decide what to do with it, but before I make any decisions I want to know more about it. Does anyone have any information or thoughts they can share ?

Fished 5:00 to 11:00 and did 4 kings, 1 steelhead and a nice Atlantic. Bunch of releases we couldn’t connect on. Fished west of the creek in 180-250 fow. Best water was 225 fow. All rigger hits on spoons. Watermelon and red with pink spots was best.

Had a chance to get on the water early today before the steady rain came in. Fished west of the creek to the beach. Water was green to clear but overcast helped. Fished sticks and spoons from 10-30 fow. Went 4 for 4 with 3 browns and a steelhead. Best stick was a perch and best spoon was SS88. Brown water was east of the creek. Water levels going up. Docks at launch starting to get wet.

Took my buck yesterday up by Rochester. Didn’t finish the job last year so taking one early was a relief. He was scraping and marking the whole way in and left a scrape trail 100 yds long. He didn’t go far but I could have tracked him by his stink. Things should be getting more exciting every day for the next few weeks. Good luck everybody. Be safe in those stands.

Took the advice off the posts and fished marks in 85 to 95 fow most of morning. Patience paid off when the water settled down. Boated a fat brown and 2 matures. Only one laker and the skippies are still around. Took everything on green/white/black spoons and Sutton 88s. East/west trolls were best. Good weather and good company. Not many nice days like this left before hunting season.
