  1. Yes they we're! I have never seen so many boats, it was unbelievable. Plenty of areas to search for fish tho. We trolled for ours, 98 percent of people were jigging tho. Gotem in front of power plant in 14 to 16 fow with smithwicks an bayrats. Deep divers with short leads goin 1.4 on gps. Got a couple good ones, that came on the bayrats. Water was dirty an cold 42. Awsome area to fish an they cater to fisherman.

  3. Looking to make our first trip to the west end of lake erie as soon as the weather allows.  I have done a little research and it seem the areas around sandusky is the best area to fish. I was woundering if you have to go that far into ohio to get into walleyes. I know ther around dunkirk in the spring ( nitebite) so i would like to think they could be all thru the west end. But i would prefer not to find out the hard way and fish daylight since it will be unfamiliar waters. Thanks

    Matt, that's going to be a pig next year.

     

    Congrats on the donkey. One of my guys had a button buck that was gut shot by a neighbor lying under a bush 15 yards from his stand this morning. He didn't see anything. I wonder why? He probably chased the coyotes off it when he went in. 

     

    I, on the other hand, have no excuse for not seeing anything. Same deal as opening day. Word on the street is that Rob's Farm shot nearly 80 deer this year on nuisance permits. I don't know if that's true, but if it is, first, they have a deer problem and second, they may have gone overboard. I did notice that I was overrun with small bucks this year but few doe. The same thing happened two years ago, and the same rumor circulated. Nothing to be done about it, I guess. So long as we're near a park, DEC is going to hand out permits like candy at Halloween.

     

    Gobble, gobble everybody...

    I also hunt in a block that is farmed only by rob fruit farm and have access to 220 acre, 140 of which the land owner would rather let golden rod grow then let that guy farm and murder deer. I have hunted it for 12yrs which use to be able to seen a dozen deer a sit and multiple quality bucks a season. The last 5 yrs I have watched numbers go down and I thought last year was rock bottom until the 2017season rolled in. First 2 sits and zero deer. Left me wondering if some diese wiped them out??? When we first got the land we could see 25deer in a sit. Its going on 4 seasons with out pulling the trigger. I am not goin shoot the last deer left and be responsible for their extinction. Thanks buddy. It makes it hard to get my younger boys and future hunters to stay interested in hunting when we don't see anything. The habitat hasn't changed much and the number of hunters is way down from what use to be parked around the block .  Not one shot heard in block I was hunting this am.  Is there a common ground we can reach. 

  5. Lake Erie, Buffalo

    Was woundering if anyone has been fishing outa buffalo, from the harbor to 18 mile creek? Just curious of water conditions, I have heard its dirty water. I am considering going for the nite bite this weekend and live by the oak, so rather find out before the hr ride. Thanks, Joe

  6. Be somewhere around chamount bay. Taking my 6yr to the cottage for his first fishing trip with dad and he gonna be missing some school. I dont  know who's more excited me or him, he already got his lures picked out, we ben to bass pro and the genese charter sale and he knows what to look for. Also have my dad, which havnt fish's the opener in a few yrs with, brother and 7 yr old nephew going for the first time. Should be interesting, have a feeling I may be doing my serious fishing at nite when they sleeping. Good luck to all!!

  7. Buddy spent 35k on a 205 alumacraft trophy, 2 yr later has a dent (poped in)  in the front lower section and the walk thru window flops in and he babyied the thing, i would passem with my crestliner with only the prop in the water.  Sent back to aluma craft and they pretty much toldem sucks to be you. I would question their graetlakes sea worthyness. Just my observations. I had new crestliner and they replaced my whole floor due to one little soft spot with no questions asked. Currently have startcraft and love it, same with my crestliner.

  8. Do yourself the favor and don't settle for anything other that a 19 to 20 ft. Especialy since you are coming off that bigger boat that you had. I am on my fourth aluminium  boat in 8 years and wish I had went with a 20 ft model I an fishing out a 17.8. My cousin bought a 20 ft new 0n 06 and wish I had  done the same when I got my first new boat.This joe b, I bought quad a way bac.
