Port Henry - 12/31

With a good forecast, Scot and I took one more shot at salvaging what has been a rather disappointing season - we launched in a cloak of fog at 8 AM and if it weren't for a GPS chart plotter, I would have been using my "beach braille" navigation system - and even then, I was fearful of run...

Port Henry - 12/17

Scott and I took advantage of the unusually warm weather and tried once again to catch a fish - it used to be catch a salmon, now it's juts catch a fish, but that's a whole other story - anyway we launched at 08:30 with a stiff westerly breeze - immediately went to Mullen in front of Beaver Brook wh...

Re: Snowy Thursday Converse scouting trip

Good deal Matt - the number of salmon is encouraging - we had a fair to good trip south, but no salmon - very aggressive lakers shallow - guess I'll be trying a little farther north - middle/end of week looks promising if the wind lays down - tight lines - Ed

Re: Port Henry - 12/9

Mph - yes, I upped it yesterday - have been around 2.2-2.4 - these spawned out lakers were very aggressive - you could actually see then come up to the lure on the screen

Port Henry - 12/9

After two less than spectacular trips on Schroon - 1 laker each day - Scott and I were back at it on Champlain yesterday - launched at 8AM and ran up to 100 ft line - wind blew us back to 65' as we set lines - two DR' and 2 dipsys - Hadn't even sat down to get back on-line when Scott's yelling "...

Re: Fishy 1 Service

I am greatly saddened by this news - Matt was a good person and teacher - I only wish I had met him earlier so I could have learned more from him. I stopped and visited with him a couple weeks back - and all he wanted to do was talk about how much he missed fishing - I will miss him.

Re: Westport to Essex - 11/24

I had been running 2.2-2.4 the last 4 trips, thought I would mix it up a little, I when the salmon are hot, I usually run the Speedi's and HB MP6's @ 2.6-2.5

Westport to Essex - 11/24

Am I stubborn or just nuts? I don't know, but my wife has an answer. Beautiful day yesterday, the wind died off by 8 and the sun was out with little or no breeze - I started south off at Thompson's and worked my way around north to Converse - picked up 2 lakers in very non-descript water - no bait, ...

Thx guys - I never even considered the little bugger to be a steelhead, but I think you're correct - square tail, no fork

Port Henry to Split Rock - 11/20

Habits, especially "old" habits are hard to break - so I launched out of Port Henry again - I guess I was hoping the fish had moved south - let's just say that after an hour of nothing I headed north. Worked my way up the east side with a stop at Scotch Bonnet, around the back of Diamond -...

Pory Henry - 11/15

Mentally, I was somewhere between persistence and insanity Sunday morning - So I went fishing - Hi hopes and low expectations. Launched out of PH at 7:45 - and started exploring - fishing dipsy w/Wonder Bread and DR w/SunRise Speedi - hit the two 50' hole out front - marked but no bites - trolled up...
