Yup, once I got downriggers I never fished more than 3 colors on the leadcore. And then my buddy would laugh at me when he was catching at 8 colors on the lead and I couldn't buy a fish on the riggers.

I hear you.  I've been watering new trees planted this spring for our little town and the volunteer part seems like it should be a full time gig. The ground away from the water bags is bone dry.  I headed out to check a couple of lakes Saturday and they were down, but not as bad as I thought they might be.  Water was also a little warm for this time of year like I expected it to be. 

Iceman don’t give up yet , there is fall eyes and perch fishing still to be done

Fall eyes on Oneida is on my bucket list maybe this year, as for perch I usually wait for ice.

Piscesman it was a good season for you, was nice reading your reports. Maybe we will meet in person next season.

H2l being in the cellar isn’t that bad, only way to go is up. You and the terrova were the best improvements to my fishing success for that I thank you. Will keep in touch over the winter.

Beerbelly, Petercos and all who contribute to this post it has been great reading your posts.

Nice job Dom.

56* and light rain.
