  1. Cool contest Any categories for us waterfowl guys? We take some awesome shots as well!
  2. I'm pretty sure Stan is talking about freshwater fishing for rainbows and Browns in Shasta lake in California I could be wrong though.. Stan if your trying to reach depths that are 100-110ft down at rigger depth your probably going to want to run magnum size dipsy divers and keep them set from .5-1.5 and it'll take some wire to reach those depths still. Make sure you've got a good set of rods and holders aswell because your going to be putting some strain on them at those speeds. Good luck though I hope it works out!
  3. I too believe this very true aswell. I was so confident in this theory I ran an entire spread to mimic perch patterns Sunday from before sunrise til weigh in
  4. With that being said one of the landlocks we had was a female and her skein was breaking apart. Won't be long they'll be up the creeks. I hope the fish can figure out a forage base before it's to late though and it might already be.. Also one of our members caught a very sick looking Laker Sunday I don't know if anyone has a picture of Mike may have one as I saw Matt take a picture... I'm sure that many would like to see it
  5. Nice job guys way to work with less than ideal early season conditions!
  6. Very nice job John and thank you by the way as Mike said silvers are hard to come by over there for sure I'm sure you were just as happy as I was when you found a landlock! Sure you can only imagine how I was feeling when the second one hit the deck! Forgot to mention EVERY fish we cleaned had empty stomachs. I figured we were going to find perch try based off forage base and the patterns we were catch mg them on but not even a skeleton in any
  7. Black cloud flightstopper shot ain't fun to chew on that's for sure! I've been thinking of getting a metal detector wand for checking goose breast before they make it to freezer
  8. It sure makes you look around thinking that this can't be happening for sure! My first flock of geese was very similar to that with my father which was his first flock too some 11 or 12 years ago we had birds back winging at 12-15 yards popped up and nothing fell! Those flocks you sure remember!
  9. Waterfowl season 2017/18 With September season winding down and it being a slow one for me at best only being able to hunt twice and the first hunt on opening day the birds moved fields but we walked away with 6 Last night 9/22 we hunted an evening feed which we had scouted with somewhere between 80-90 birds in some chopped corn we had to take a non ideal set up do to wind direction vs direction of houses and birds devoted well after Sun got blocked out by trees enough that our shadows weren't an issue. We shot well the first couple small flocks that decoyed and then a flock of 30 and a flock of 40 joined together and worked us beautifully we had birds landing on our blinds and we let the big group keep swinging and swinging just enjoying the show. After a few passes they came around to set down and I called the shot the 4 of us (whom are normally very good shooters) popped up and each emptied our guns then were left speechless and laughing our butts off as we only killed one bird out of all those and that was one someone ground swatted all in good fun though and a nice night we ended with 14 which isn't bad for the low number of birds in our area and whiffing on the big flock! But that ain't what it's about it was an enjoyable day in the field! Onto the migratory birds in October now
  10. I have a 14ft starcraft deep v I used "eagle feet" brackets with a deck board mounted across to mount riggers too. I have a smaller beam length than that boat and I run 2 riggers both directly out the back with minimal problems I have a pair of Scotty manual riggers on my boat and love them. They function great and the lift up feature is amazing for safety and easy use purposes because you don't have to lean over the back of boat to get to rigger ball. The eagle feet aren't cheap for what they are but you don't have to drill ANY holes in your boat and if you wanted to take the board off you could do it in less than a minute I have left mine attached for almost 2 years now and it's still solid enough I could just about stand on it and I've never been concerned about it on a tow to the lake or while dragging 2 12lb torpedo weighs across bottom in 120ft of water
  11. Sounds like could make it happen in one day if you really wanted to and a 10hr break in for a 4stroke vs a 2 stroke sounds like an easy trade for me for what it's worth a 4 stroke your gonna save money in the long run
  12. Hard to beat a 4 stroke and break in period doesn't seem like a huge deal. Can you throw muffs on it as part of break in? Or do you have to be on the water running?
  13. Current Oswego wave report? Anyone got current wave heights for oswego?
  14. Count the tin can in if weather is fa.... nevermind just count me in
  15. Good job Mike and crew tight points race going into the last 2 of the year! Way to add a little breathing room to your lead and catch a 5 fish box on a hard day to catch those silvers
  16. Was just curious is all wondering if maybe someone else coincidently got another nice one aswell. I've gotta get back out there
  17. You think they are bad now go to the lake and sit on shore during december/January during duck season.... This ain't nothing
  18. If only that were true... a while back (years) some guys tried to do a little "vigilante justice" on commerants on lake Ontario and got slapped with heavy heavy fines after killed hundreds to thousands. I'm sure you could find the article somewhere it was a huge deal
  19. Layout blind $50 Layout blind for sale frame is broken in a few places and has a small hole or 2 in floor. Broke very soon after purchase however I used it for a couple years as it still functions. Pick up or meet only located in Alpine, ny and work in lansing. Blind doesn't fold up easy $50. (Blind is wet from being sprayed off in the pics)
  20. I'll play because this is my first shot of 2017 thanks to this post 20 yards
  21. That's a rainbow not an Atlantic either way nice fish!
  22. Cowbelling is for sure not for the lazy man especially with hand crank riggers however I like resetting as fast as possible that's one of the reasons I went to bellis tackle bells aswell is because I can drop a rigger faster without the drag of the cowbells causing release to trip and having to bring rigger back up again and start over like I have issues with using luhr Jensen and hammerhead sometimes. Any brand will work but if I could have had my hands on a set of bellis tackle bells when we first started cowbelling on my boat I probably wouldve done it alot more even sooner
