    Netting Techniques- lost 3 today -bad technique

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Net your fish head first. I hold the back portion of the handle with my right hand and support the handle where the handle meets the hoop with my left hand..... also holding the net basket with my left hand. You hold the basket tight so that it's not flopping around in the flowing water. When the time is right, let go of the basket as you slide the net handle through your left hand (powered by your right) to capture the fish. Mission accomplished. The only time it fails is when you get impatient and try to net the fish "early". then all bets are off..... The pinchpad pretty much takes the place of manually holding the net basket, and keeps the basket tight and out of the way.

    Sandy 7-16 Browns

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    Took advantage of the cold water that moved in recently and fished for browns this morning.

    Between 7:30 and 1:00 went 16 for 18 all between 6lbs and 10 lbs. couldn't find a big guy but still had a great morning. Fish were 25 to 38 feet down over 40 feet of water. Good color, good temp and tons of bait. Mag NK's 50 feet behind the balls and 125 out on the slides with 100 foot leads. All rods took fish.

     

    Sandy has been on fire, the boats fishing kings caught on average 20 per boat. Silver Fox did a 16+ Atlantic yesterday. 100 foot is for the kings seemed to be about best. IMG_2207.JPGIMG_2208.JPG

    Tree trimming

    in LOUnited For Change

    Cool thing is I never had to go above nice. Can't say I wasn't surprised. If anyone wants the firewood pm me. It's cut and stacked neatly near the road.
    It's Box Elder.

    So last week I talked with a manager at Birchcrest, the company that did the trimming. She gave me the number for Kevin, the arborist at RGE that was in charge of the job. Kevin called me this afternoon and was awesome. An hour later Birchcrest was back and took what was left of the tree down. Very happy with both companies as well as the representatives I dealt with.

    Coyote takes off neighbors finger

    in Big / Small Game

    Family a mile west of me have had yotes bothering their dog recently. Last weekend their dog got into a scrap with a couple and my buddy's wife went out to break it up and lost most of a finger in the process. There isn't much woods or cover where they live so it surprises me. I'm going to be more careful letting mine out and may take a little more aggressive stance regarding those that visit my property.

    The company that did the work is large and local. I'm going to talk to RG&E but if I don't get them to take the tree down I'm going back to the company that did the work. They have an impressive website and a very good reputation. For the amount it would take to remove the tree I would think it would make more sense than a couple bad online reviews on social media.
    Guess we'll have to see.

    Great info, I appreciate it.
    I am however going to push one of the parties to take down the tree.
    Worst thing to happen is I take it down myself. Too bad, I liked that tree.

    The rep from the tree company says that RG&E sent letters out some time ago and that I probably threw it out. Could be possible.
    It looks terrible, waiting for the arborist from RG&E to call me back.

    So should I be talking to the town or the company that did what the signs on the road said were "trimming". If you're taking that much out, with no warning, take out what's left. Did they stack up the logs next to it because they thought I'd like them or because it's my job to get rid of them?
