Be safe, wait for good ice. A few more days won't hurt. I'm itching as well, but safety first.Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Years ago I had a buck come to a scrape 20 yds from my stand. It dropped it's head to smell the scrape. I was at full draw, centered the pin on its right front shoulder ( a little back) and released. The buck turned right and lifted it's head at the same time. Bingo right between the eyes! Dropped stone dead. The arrow went in half way. So I get the land owner and he asked if I did it on purpose? Yes he was very upset till I told him the story. Another story of hunting.

It seems to start about 5. As the sun fades. I have been doing ok. Had 11 on last Wednesday lost 4. Landed and released the rest. It was dead calm tonight. So it was a slow bite.

Started at long point. Fished about 1 hour. ( 3 to 4) had motor issues, bad gas. Once I sorted that out caught 5 nice landlocks. One laker about 3 lbs.
All in all a nice evening troll. 50 down 70 back on riggers with sliders.
Launched at long point, started trolling once I hit deep water going south. In under 5 min. Had a 16 in LL. Then one after another. Just about any 2.5 in spoon at 1.6 to 1.8. All on riggers set 60 and 50 and 40 with sliders. Wish the grand kids were with me, I stopped counting ! The fish were above bait balls. Not one lakers although they were bellow the bait. Wonderful time on a great September day. Lost a real nice fish, 4 or 5 lbs. Released every fish. What a great future fishery.

Same for me, fished 8 times. 3 lakers, 2 small rainbow. Burned gas, marked little. Went back to skinny and cayuga.

My buddy freezes them for dog training. Don't know how long they last. Never watched. But his digs are good retrevers.

Love shooting pigeons, we use bluebill decoys. When we were kids we sold them for 25 cents. Bought our shells. Back then 12 ga. 7.5s were 1.99 a box for alcan. Still fun today! Great fish.

Thanks. What a nasty little creature. I had enough of them this summer. I to use 30 but would rather run 10 or 12. More fun.

I'm fairly sure she is. At 6 am I was up for work and she asked if we were going again today! Good words to hear from a 6 yearold. We are off to lake placid tomorrow. More fishing.

My granddaughter caught a nice laker on Skinny tonight. First fish, first laker, first time she ran a downrigger.
Nothing but fun, lost a second almost same size, released a few shorts.
