Great thread. From my Dad many years ago. He was trolling n on the east side as he usually did. Off to his port he noticed a loon acting weird. As he passed his rigs (thermocline, thanks Dad) started bobbing. He grabbed the rod,brought it in and of course the loon started moving. Eventually Dad pulled in a rod/reel combo (that I use to this day) he pulled the line in as close as he could and cut it. Anyway got a bunch but Dad was there.

I will agree with chrome slayer. I shoot a savage with smokeless and the powerbelts produce fine accuracy but I have had dismal expansion results on 3 deer. I no longer use them.

A bit off topic but my neighbor and I recently planted a dozen chestnuts down in Seneca cnty. I planted the collossul (sp) chestnut out of I think washington st.supposed to be blight resistant. My kids will find out.

Sorry Mr.Blue GOast, wasn't meant for you. My fat fingers on a tiny phone. Apologies.

I heard you out of towners skipped over to Cayuga Lake where you can catch them with a Micky D French Fry. You heard us locals have them scoped out. You're right. 🤣🤣🤣

Beautiful fish Steve. Things are picking up down near Lodi too.

Don't be coming back to old school me now old salt. I don't like being crowded 🤣

You gained a fine son-in-law as well. A lot to be proud of old timer.

Wwwwwhat a second. Is that Cayuga Lake???

Was on the east side of the barge this afternoon and came upon two good sized buoys a couple hundred yards apart. Anyone know anything about them? If they are out there after dark I hope they are illuminated. Sent from my SM-F711U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Frogger and crew congratulations on a well planned and executed derby. Well deserved.

Gambler I would like to buy your outriggers but will be in Connecticut this weekend. Can I send you a check and figure out pickup later?

Post office tells me you will get them Monday.

I can send you 10 primers no charge. Would like to get postage back. Two or three years ago I sent a fellow on here an almost new left hand level wind reel no charge. Still waiting for the postage lol.

Congratulations to the young lady. A deer that will be remembered for a long time. And for the fellow with the beauty of a buck, there is no doubt someone was looking over your shoulder when the moment occurred. Cherish it.

Congrats young man. Great first deer. Many to come I'm sure. Be sure to thank your mentor. Be a safe hunter.
