Never Ends

Anyone ever have an issue with a crossbow misfiring when you take the safety off? I have a Ten Point Wicked Ridge Invader G3, Went to discharge it, took safety off and it fired without touching trigger. I've had it 5 years and never once had this issue, maybe I cocked it wrong as it is the type where you put the clips on the strands and pull. Regardless that thing is now retired and I will be upgrading for next season to an acudraw!

YES!!!!! I love smashing them, I was just doing it with a huge smile on my face! Best part of 2020 so far.

That sucks, How many hundreds of thousands of acres do we have in NY that is open to the public that you can do pretty much whatever you want within the guidelines? Set some trail cameras up high angled down and catch this a-hole!

Ive had one seize and crack, blew out while the boat was running, I called my dad, the dude drove 6 hours while I was in the military to help. He made a few small cuts with a small metal blade from the hole in the broken plug outward towards the threads being careful to stop before cutting into the threads. This relieved some of the pressure holding the piece into the head. He then heated the broken piece with a torch and used an easy out to remove it. Pressure was the key here, not applying too much pressure. This info will help if you try to remove it and it breaks. It appears the soaking method is the best bet here. But if it breaks when you try to remove it... here is step 2. Good Luck!!

Whaler1, is that a pig in the bottom of the second to last photo u posted?

If people remember correctly, the lampricide treatment was not effective/impossible to conduct two years in a row due to flooding. Not saying that is why there is an issue, but that is why there is a greater issue as far as Eels are concerned. We are now seeing the result of those missed treatments. Seneca has been on the decline, noticeably ever since the 18lb BT won the derby in 2016 and to the "Seneca Fisherman", a few years before that. I have had the same occurrence with eels sticking to my motor/outdrive/hull for at least 3 years now. The DEC is certainly not ignoring the problem, I think we are at the tail end of those missed treatments from 2-3 years ago. As far as the treatments go they (DEC) are at the mercy of Mother Nature. Add that to the 10 other non-related problems Seneca suffers from.

I have a very similar situation with 40 acres just bought by a family member, the posted signs will say: No Trespassing Period!. Forget that guy for not being upfront and honest and trying to be sneaky about it. Kudos to you for actually following the rules!

I have two grease traps, what do you run off the back of them peanuts, spoons, spin n glows?

I will say this... we sure have a lot of knowledgeable people here. Nick is producing and so is Roys Boys. Sk8tman always has great info, a perspective that is top notch! Also a lot of people who have seen lakes go through certain cycles! I love Seneca and will never stop fishing it, caught my first fish there.

Fished Seneca for the first time since the derby today, West side Severne to Long Point didnt mark much at all, fished Caywood to Lodi Point and screen was littered with bait balls the whole time. Ended up getting skunked, ran spoons off a rig rod and down-riggers with Dipsey divers and Chinook divers. Praying that Lady Seneca recovers soon!

Here is an excel list of the final standings. Column "C" has a simple 'sum' formula for columns D-G to make sure my math was correct. MARGEIT MEMORIAL RECORD BOOK.xlsx

Hell yeah thanks!

how many entrants so far and what is final payout percentage? 60-30-10?

The best is the North end of Seneca during the derby near Bellhurst bowl. 'Bumper Boat Fishing', i used to get pissed off, now i enjoy it and laugh my ass off!

Try to release them in the water with pliers, this has worked very well for me (Sk8man explained how he does it in a previous post and then i followed suit). I think out of the last 15 fish we have killed one. We real them in slow... I gave up on trying to get pictures, unless I have a slamhog to take home.
