spend  most the  day  chucking  feathers  at  fish  few  small bass   some  decent  kills  and  a  zillion  little  silver  bass  and  one  goose!!!!  thats  right  a  goose! 
                                                                                                                      life  is  good
                                                                                                                       and  sometimes  funny

That must have been fun!!!!

i have hooked sea gulls,ducks,musk rats, and a beaver once when i was bull head fishing one night. that thing was not a happy camper.

I'm heading for the crick in a bit to hook some smallmouth...I hope I need some bait for tomorrow morning too...a nice bucket of crayfish will work very nicely.

[1fish@atime]

your OK for a catch and release Trap, be careful though, those DEC officers can come up with some trumped up ideas your targeting a species out of season.....

Picked about 100 crayfish in 45 minutes or so. Took the ultralight and the spinner box with me and played with the bass and gills. I'm gonna launch in a couple of hours and see what I can pull up for dinner. The freezer is empty (of fish). All those nice spring walleye, crappies and perch have met their ultimate fate.

i  think  the  turn   has  started !  fish  are  starting  to  play  more RG  lets  work  on a  fall supply  in that  freezor!  i  really  do  suggest  you  come  up  for  the  oneida  lake  walleye  shake  down this  fall....best  walleye  fishing i  ever  experanced  and  what  a  group of  guys ,always  something to laugh  about! 

GRASSHOPPER  TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boat paid me back for ignoring it all summer. First pull and the recoil rope broke. I motored down to a point on electric and anchored while I pulled the recoil off to put a new rope on it. Unfortunately, one of the pawl springs was broken.

Sooooooo....I motored back to the launch (glad I charged my trolling motor battery) and loaded back up. Dropped the boat at home, went up to Pugsley's Marine and picked up a whole set of pawl springs. They've never failed to have parts for my motor.

A quick stop for some groceries and back home in about an hour total. It took 15 minutes to complete the repair and button it back up. I'm gonna have some lunch and a siesta and try once again. I'll say this, the early morning water was boiling with schools of gizzard shad and pinheads. The bass and crappies were very active.

I hope the evening is as active. I've got some flies just waiting to be inhaled.

A big your welcome Trap....no squaring up needed, except for maybe a few more of your ever so popular flies next time we meet. Well, and maybe a man date to go flyfishing, so I can learn some new techniques!

My freezer has that same problem RG, shop has been so dang busy, all my fishing has been through this forum...and you guys. The fall walleye night bite is coming up soon, and I'm gonna take time to learn the Salmon river this fall. Till then gonna stick to the grind, and try to bank as much as possible. Never know when a slow time will hit!

Shoot Trap.... you know that I always have coffee on at the shop! The coffee service company I use love me, cause one of my employees drinks about 5 pots a day on average.
