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.

Lead for weights or sinkers. 23lbs total. 1 block, 3 drop weight, and sinkers. $25 takes all. Rochester area. Shipping or delivery TBD.

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.

I had an experience today that caught me off guard and I'm trying to figure out how I should feel about it. I'm looking for opinions. A small piece of property (40 acres) I've hunted forever in Cattaraugus county was recently sold and posted. Not that uncommon these days. The property is small but it's convenient and close to other huntable properties. The posted sign said 'written permission only' and had a phone number. My hope was that it may be an investment property or even a lease situation becasue it was such a small piece of property, so I called. The guy calls me back and tells me that he has no intentions of letting anyone hunt the property but he marked the posted signs that way so people would call him so he could tell them to stay off the property. This is a done deal in my mind. I have no desire, or need, for access to this property. I have no hard feeling towards this guy or losing access to the property. What has caught me off guard and has had me thinking about it all day is if this guy is a jerk or a genius for marking his posted signs that way. Is it necessary to bait people into calling? I'm interested in your opinions and whether your looking at it from a property owner position or from the position of a hunter looking for permision.

JimB, That was us out there today. You aren't kidding about the fog. One of those mornings when you end up in Canada if you didn't have a gps. We worked the same water and did 2 browns and 2 kings. We hooked up with the second just as you were picking up. Fog lifted and fish stopped biting. Green and purple stick bite today.

Mike, Great fish! You deserve it. G

Launched out of Sandy this morning just before dark and headed west towards the Nose. Dropped the boards in at the Pumphouse and stayed in the 10-15 FOW for most of the run to the beach. No water color and no takers until we got the the beach where a laker took a shot a Sutton 88 back 50' in the wash. Turned north out to 30 FOW and headed west looking for better water. On the way back we picked up this bow on a gold/black rapala back 100' on the boards and a second release on a deep diving Jr Thunder Perch that never made it to the boat. By 11 am the wind had shifted to the west and we headed back in. Went through a bunch of sticks and spoons, but only the naturals seemed to get noticed. Best water color and temps were just outside of the mouth.

Nice !!!! I'd name that one Wilson!

Another good morning out of Sandy. Left the launch and headed west towards the beach. Once we passed the pumphouse things broke loose in 10-15 FOW. Worked all morning from pumphouse to Area 1. Water had great color and the fish were there. Had to pick through a bunch of dinks but landed a couple nice browns and an Atlantic (someone please tell me if I'm wrong, yellow eye and no color in mouth). Lake was like glass all morning. We could have stayed all day but I've got an anniversary to celebrate tonight and after cutting me loose this morning I don't think she'd appreciate a sweaty, fish-smelling husband rolling in right before dinner.

My winter project... 5' conduit pipe fits nicely into an old seat post. 1.5" PVC sleeve slides right over conduit. Cut in a couple of pvc crosses & fitted them with tees. Tees aren't glued so I can turn them and lock in place with pins. Cut a plastic wire spool in half and bolted the ends of another onto the cut ends. 3.5" pieces of 0.5" PVC through spools. 0.5" bolt (10") through mast some galvanized & nylon washers. Going to hand spool the line & secure the spools with a clip. Total cost= $50.

Rolmops, same place, same holes. B-joe, bottom of hill with lots of others. Just got to be considerate of residents.

Made the trip from Rochester to Owasco hoping to get into them down at Ensinore and we weren't disappointed. Started drilling holes early and the flags starting flying right away. Steady pick of lakers until about 10:30 when it slowed down. Had our limit so we were back home for lunch. Two great laker trips this season. Next time headed to the north end for jumbos.
