  1. I'm not worried . I'm quite sure there will be kings to catch . And besides , there are always the fat chicks.
  2. So " F " Pulaski and the entire region around it and the people who have invested a whole lot into it ? I see a whole lot Me , Me ,Me on here . We have some of the best fishing opportunities in the world for all styles of angling in this state and some complain about it . Kudos to the DEC for consistently providing it for us . Met Dave and his wife once . They both seem like nice level headed folks with experience who care about the fishery as a whole . And realize all facets are important going forward . Sounds like we might have a few leaner king years for a while because of the bait situation . Can't wait to see how that goes over .
  3. Lol With the recent mortality study on them , I have a hard time targeting them . But if that's what floats your boat , have fun . But to me any king that takes is better than a Laker .
  4. Staggers and creek fish can be very challenging to get to bite . And on a fly rod or reasonable tackle , they put up a good fight . It may be the only chance some guys get a shot at them . Still better than lake trout .
  5. Fresh kings from the lake to river are far from Zombies .
  6. But I would bet the,fishing rights to that property are leased to the DSR and are in the deed somehow .
  7. Went out yesterday afternoon for 45 min and again this morning . Cold water , no hits Fished from 10 to 30 ft . Saw a few on the screen and some jumpers .
  8. No protection . You are right out there in front of God and everybody . Sure it's fishable , but I Like my comfort.
  9. I heard the waves crashing on the beach this morning from my cottage .
  10. There was a guy on here a,while back who suggested that there was a lot more Nat repro of kings on the south shore than most thought . And as,I recall he got pretty beat up over it . Can't remember who that was .
  11. After talking with the guy at the show , magnums Metalz will be my choice if I go new .
  12. Fishing was as,good as I could hope it would be and continues to be good . Lots of kings which seem to be average size a little bigger . The last 3 years have been awesome ..
  13. Those dying fish are put in the lake for the sole purpose to generate money for the region and tax dollars for the state . We took a ride up that way to the hatchery last Fall and could not believe the amount of cars / people all the,way up the river from Pulaski to Altmar . And no doubt dropping a lot of cash . And that area depends on it . So if you think they are going to shut it down , that ain't going to happen .
  14. Lovin me some Nat repro of kings Will assure we will always have at least some in the lake .
  15. Back out late afternoon Tues . Did my Small boat tactics j plug program . Wasn't out there 5 min and #3 glow green takes a nice hook jaw king. I'm like yea , its going to be a good day . No more hits . Yes Dickey , I his the motor with a,hammer and it worked so I figure I'm all good .
  16. Save the money and Get a speed probe / surface temp add on for your depth finder . 40 to 70$ . It's not a fish hawk but will be a huge help. I love my buckets . Would not be without them . I attribute a,lot of my fish to them. And they are free.
  17. That s crazy . A lot of ,in fact most of the hits I get are going into the wave .Mostly because I head west out of port and head to my fishing grounds which are farther than I drop lines . Learn how to do it . Without speed you should be using speed forgiving lures and turning a lot . SOG is pretty much worthless unless you note the direction of troll on the hit and duplicate the direction . Even that is hit and miss because a few degrees either way can seriously affect your down speed .
  18. Ditto on the buckets I use 1 on each side on my 21 trophy w/ 230 IO for 35 years . I posted on here how to make them a while back Tie them to mid ship cleat and adjust rope so they are about 4 ft from the transom running on the sides . They are as big a part of my equipment as anything on my boat and are in and out of the water all day to fine tune my speed . As far a trolling straight , that's on the driver . Driving the boat to get fish to bite is an art form IMO . I get as many hits or more trolling into waves,as going with them .
  19. I was lucky as a leprechaun both days . 1 fish landed each morning and very happy I did that .
  20. We went to a meeting about him getting approvals . Apparently the channel issue has been straightened out . Guy seem like a nice guy and serious about it . I'd be surprised If there are not boats there this spring .
  21. With the forecast , I wasn't going out and was going to fish the creek but I saw lights on Coyote K boat so I went out behind him . Flatest seas I've seen in weeks . But the lake flipped and cold water . Made a few passes with no hits . Last ditch effort I flat lined across the mouth my precious pearl white black dot #3 Northport nailer j plug and tagged a nice hen for eggs . Beat that spot up and that was it .
  22. Finally got out this,morning to easterly rollers . My normal Small boat tactics J plugs program. Started close,and worked out to 40 ft . Really did not see much so made a last pass in 20 ft . One rod went off bounced a few times and nothing there . As I was reeling it it the other hooked up to a nice hen which was released . #4 silver bullet took the fish and #3 green glo took the hit . Went back out for evening run . No hits .
  23. And I'm sure you are more than happy to donate the next 2 months of your salary or pension to those that have had the the rug pulled out from under them for the greater good . You know , to share the burden . Walk a mile in their shoes . Until then , your words don't mean much. Inconvenience and losing everything are two different things. There are risks in life . Americans use to be brave . What happened?
  24. Death from this are way down , or am I wrong ? A lot of the positives are asymptomatic , or am I wrong about that ? People get sick and die every day . From a lot of stuff . I refuse to be afraid of it . Dont be get paid for 6 months , lose what you have worked for all you're life and then talk to me . From a strictly medical point of view maybe you are right to try and save everyone . From a practical point , it's time to go for it .
