Made the trip up to the North Country with my Boss for the weekend and We were greeted with great weather and plenty of birds to play with. After putting a handful of birds to roost Saturday evening we made a solid plan for Sunday morning. After fly down Just a few soft yelps,clucks and purrs was all that was needed to break the Tom away from his 6 hens and present a shot for my boss at 30yds. High fives smiles and more memories made with the potential for a promotion as added bonus lol..

Outstanding job Manny and welcome to the North Country!🇺🇲🦃💥

Thanks!

Opening day success in the North Country. Didn't get chance to roost anything the evening before so I made a decision to go back into a historical spot ive had good luck in. As the morning progressed I realized I couldn't have been in a more perfect Setup with hens roosted behind me Toms out in front. No need for any calling this morning I let nature take its course and watched the Toms parade on by at 30yds easy comfortable range for the mossberg 835 great end to day 1 and more memories made 🇺🇲

Congratulations Manny! Great job!🇺🇲

Made the trip up Yesterday afternoon with my son to the North country for Youth Turkey weekend. We were greeted with great weather and plenty of birds to play with after putting a handful of birds to roost we made a solid plan for this morning. After casting a few calls and moving into a better position 3 Toms broke away and came into easy shotgun range. My son put the Mossberg 835 to work and executed a great shot. High fives and more memories made 🇺🇲

Very nice! J 13's chartreuse and Orange that was the standard being pulled behind the superskis back in the day with Brushcut charters. Then followed by some strict instructions to wheel the Penn Yan LOL... if anyone knew my grandfather they would understand the humor in my post. Again great job nice looking Brown!🇺🇲

Thanks Zach! From the Great Lakes to the Finger Lakes the Baker baits get the job done! Haven't had to tune one yet set it and forget it

Forgot to add colors that worked for us this weekend as we were faced with dirty,green and semi clear water.

Left I bay launch shortly after 7:30am headed east to Webster park. Deployed the 8 rod spread from 13 to 15 fow with only a couple of Browns coming to the net around 9:30am we took a peak outside the chalky brown water and found some greener water in 25' to 45' and the bites were better. We ended the day around noon 14 Browns 2 kings and 1 Atlantic lots of laughs high fives and memories made with the bigger kids today 🇺🇲

Left the I bay launch a little later than expected and set up on a east troll to Webster park. Tried to deploy a 8 rod spread (boards,divers,riggers) action was fast and furious fished mainly with 4 rods. 35 landed mostly Browns and 2 kings all released nothing huge but a fun 1st trip for us. 730am to 10am chop picked up so we called it a early day. Boards with sticks 85' to 100' back Divers 14' out with spoons Riggers 40 back 7' to 8' down with spoons didn't matter it all worked. We stayed around 13 to 17 fow speeds 2.4 to 2.6sog

Left the launch shortly after 7am setup a 5 rod spread of Baker baits on boards and flat lines with 1 rigger parked at 18' down with a bucktail spinner with a speed of 3.8 to 4.0sog we focused our attention on 20 to 26 fow and followed the marks and bait on the screen.

That's definitely interesting sticks for me along with small spoons worm burner's and harnesses have been pretty consistent for me this year but I think anything will work right now lol.
