Nice fish!

Phenomenal 

That’s really cool you got an eye in Sandy. 

Memories of long lining out front of sandy in Hamlin in the 20’ range back in the 90’s and catching sheep and bass on every troll. The sheep disappear too? 

Wish I could catch fish when’s it’s glass. 

Killing it, nice job. 

I don’t want it to be the year of the pike, but it might be the year of the pike. Thanks for report 

55 degrees outside pt penn and a very eclectic bite. Not hot and heavy, but lots of variety. 

That hard NE blow for 4-5 days mixed stuff up big time. 

Ok, thanks, that’s what I assumed. 

If I catch a fish at 11pm and want to enter it in LOC, can I considering it won’t be weighed in until next day? 

Plenty of fish in close between stony and sandy ponds. 

Awesome! Thanks for report.

So there we go again, turning stuff into politics that gain us nothing positive but help finance a lot of politicians who claim to represent you but mostly want your money.

Let's put some things  in line here.

We all know that lead is not something you want on your breakfast plate and we do not really want to kill animals because they ate the animal that got hit but got away and died later

Most hunters love nature and so do the people who promote the change away from lead.

Ducks unlimited invests a lot in environmental improvements, so it seems to me that that there are more than just a few shared interests.

I do not think that hunters have to quit their hobby just because of the material that they use to shoot.

So what other alternatives are there ?

Let's start with the anti lead crowd. They should be made aware that every time they use Orkin or Mosquito Joe or anti grub treatments for their lawn, they are probably indirectly killing a lot of birds. We should make them aware of their negative actions and save some of the things they claim to protect.

Now for the hunters. If using something instead of lead, would a longer barrel or a rifled barrel help? Would different tactics or techniques remove the need for lead?

Is not overcoming the challenges while hunting a great part of the woodsman's joy?

I could go on. Calling your senator is an idea. Calling your senator with ideas about how to solve the problem and give them a chance to do something positive instead of wasting our money to play politics is a great idea.

Think about it.

 

No, no, no. The premise of this is political, and folks are allowed respond politically. There is no problem with some guy shooting a turkey or deer on state land with lead. The left worrying about a racoon eating a lost pheasant or some “redneck” having lead for breakfast, thus ginning this Bill up is very funny. Creating an environmental issue out of thin air and offering the solution that promotes an agenda is political. No sane outdoorsman has thought to himself out hunting the uplands that lead is a problem that requires a collectivist effort to overcome. Next, they’ll say, ‘look at how far air guns have come’, now we are going to solve noise pollution. ‘We are going to help all these country bumpkins from losing their hearing from black powder’ and right on cue romlops would ask us “can you hear me now?” 

Nice rundown.

Looks Russian to me. 

Looks good. Nice job!

16 rods!! Wild. 

Boom, ok I’m on the right track now, thanks!

Smallmouth and walleye 5-20ft. I’m leaning towards these simple ones. 

What is the best style of jighead for swimbaits like keitech? 

Hearsay, but from a good source said a deal between Hochul and the Reservation let these dudes walk. 

What about the idea they basically have little fat left once exiting the creeks, thus the pale color? 

Pro cure brine and dye might help. I think you are suppose to treat the bait prior to freezing though.
