Nice catches and pictures. We've played around out there for smallmouths and seen boats running sideplaners. Always assumed they were after eyes. Might have to give it a try next season. Keep up the good work.

Glad to share. Had it not been for guys willing to share techniques on this board I would be sitting home lamenting the crappy goose season I had this year!

Easy night...3 in an hour even though the weeds were an issue. Stayed out for another 45, threw back 2 more. Weather was perfect, and the moon killer when it first rose.

Way to go, get ready for duck season, and throw in a super moon to boot! Fog pretty thick here early this morning. We'll give it a last shot tomorrow!

Took 6 last night, 1 throwback and lost a beauty. Fishing was a little spotty though. Had to change spots often and surface weeds an issue along shore. Out again this AM.

Have a lifelong friend coming up for a couple fishing trips and I wanted to be sure I would still find evening fish. Had no intention of keeping fish today, just scouting. Ran into a couple guys on a favorite spot so I headed downriver to another good spot. Never had a strike in a few passes so headed back upriver. Roybee was still there and we fished the same run for about an hour. We both hit them hard. I released 29-27-27-25-22-21. At one point he had a double on his riggers and I had one on my bottom bouncer at the same time! Can't believe fishing is still this good. Water temp has dropped 5 degrees to about 68.

Farmers are starting to chop corn and if you're lucky enough to have a field they like, there are birds around. Would not say there are a lot of birds on the river, but same deal, if you've got places they like it could be worthwhile. Let me know how that 15 bird limit works for ya.

Had a good morning today and brought home three. 24, 25 and 26 inches. Threw back 2 and lost one. At that length an inch makes a big difference in the weight of the fish. I decided to get the scale out and they weighed within an ounce or two of 4, 5 and 6 pounds respectively. That's pretty typical of our St Lawrence fish and I was wondering how that compared to other guy's bodies of water? I sometimes think our pictures don't do our fish justice.

Decided to watch our goose decoys do NOTHING for two hours this morning. Back on the water tomorrow. Nice limit!

Definitely worth the car ride up. Nice going!

Ran into Roybee and his dad on the water. Said hi and headed to my spots. Hot there too. kept a 26 that was not likely to recover, a 22 and a 21. Threw back a 25 and a 23. Had one breakoff, weak spot in line not a monster fish. Interesting, catching fish BEFORE dark.

Esox..my spots are sort of compact, except for one. If I give it three good trys, where I know I've been in the range, speeds been right and my lure wasn't fouled, I move on. When I take guys, they have a tendency to drag lures longer than me. Im constantly checking that I'm on bottom and reeling up to clean gear off. When you really get to know a spot, you know when you should pull up and when you absolutely should be down, clean and in the zone. As for sharing info, had it not been for this forum I'd never have had the summer I've had. There's lots of fish to work and plenty of good area to find them on.

Back on the water tonight. Put two nice ones in the box first two passes on a run 40 yds long! Next pass a short one. All in the first 20 minutes before dark. Then prime time and everything goes to ****! Lose control of the boat and hang my stern light up on an overhanging branch. Bent but still working. (yes, fishing that close to shore} Next fish another shortie that takes a flop and burries all three trebles in a towel. In the tackle box for another lure and fish another 45 minutes without a tap. Move to another spot and hit number three first pass there, All in all, a 23,22, and 21....two throwbacks.....one lost and great to be out again!

Good fishing Kevin and Roybee. And Don, thanks! How were the weeds?

Yup..won't go out till monday. Should be a grwat fall

Congrats...frustrating when tried and true doesn't work, but you know fish are stiil there! Glad you figured a plan B.

quiet over our field this morning. had to quit by 8:30 to make it to a a dentist appt. fog wasn't too bad.

Last night friends brought home 4 @27,25,20,19 and put back a 28! lost a couple more. Lots of weeds on the surface.

Fished today...geese tomorrow...living the dream

Went this morning and picked up triplets...almost identical 21 inchers. Out at 5 home at 6:45. Also a throwback and lost one at the boat. Worked some new spots. Just a matter of keeping lures on the bottom without dragging through zebra mussels. taking two buddies out this evening.

Congrats. Same problem with the early fog yesterday. Did shoot three once it lifted, but not many birds over our lease yet. Heading out for wall eyes right now.

I've been pulling thundersticks..
