young blood did you fish the reef or just shallow water im booked all week perch and walleye double booked fishing nite and day would love a starting point that close to home instead of running to barcalona for the nite bite

like I said I hope I can run with the big dogs

larry I have a hard time doing it at age 50  this week will be a big test 5 day trips and 5 evening trips I hope I can run with the big dogs

Larry how you make out with truck if you have trips and need truck you can use mine I have nothing until next week booked all week nite and day may want you to take one or two

 Just a quick note I would say the Spawn is 70% Done 70 to 75% of the females yesterday were spawned out 

The water temp is at 46 as of yesterday

 this is the news everyone is waiting for SP is now open and they will be charging starting tomorrow was there today and talked to the director so this is real all open tomorrow the dredging guys said they went 10 ft deep let the stampede began tight lines to all  capt Brent

you guys are all wrong the method I use needs no change its simple you light the fuse and throw it overboard and wait for the fish to float to surface you net them up no color no line size nothing just a lighter. Took my new mexico  elk hunting outfitter out today great day everyone found their own fish and didn't get to close even stayed away and found their own fish except one boat stoped and said that miller told him look for the crowd and u will find fish told him the crowd was to the north in Canada  he left we laughed we  caught our limit by 11 am nice to see the guys out there today knew the drill tight lines to you all capt Brent

Not a total loss for not fishing today drove boat to Syracuse and got new windshield installed !!!wow!!! was shop off on price it cost $1100 plus $365 to install it I guess the guy that hit me wont do it again . Called my sat clients and we r fishing tomorrow sorry to you guys that have to fish the weekends but i'm done with that I started fishing In early Feb no one else out their total lake alone and told clients that in a month and a half that this spot will be unfishable they didn't understand  can you say lazy, crazy ,or is it greed will never end thought it might be a good thing SP was late opening but the crowds still come good fishing to all  and please be safe Capt Brent

Just canceled out for today the clients did not want to fish in the rain told them that their wont be anyone else out there any body want to go fishing we will have lots of room

 Took my boat to collision shop today for repair estimate  will cost the guy and his son little over 800 bucks  to fix windshield and buff paint people you need to think before doing things like this

Ps Im offering my clients a discount to not fish the weekends and take a during the week trip to avoid the crowds

John I couldn't agree with you more I was alone at a spot for over three hrs then a boat drove out to see if I was catching then called someone on phone and the whole fleet came from in front of sp one guy actually hit my boat with his anchor get his insurance info I don't think he will do that again . we left and went and found our own spot again where we took a 5 man limit our limit is 30 per person this is working out just fine so far but back to the people being considerate their is a lot of room don't crowd the guy that did the work and force him out or hit his or her boat even after all this we were still off water by 1 pm fishing is much better people when you find a school where there are no people so people instead of relying on the crowd try to find some for yourself you will be rewarded greatly thanks Brent

no docks at cat their today and still nothing very ruff today but fishable good chatch

on 354 in bennington

dukhnter8 was at cat today the answer to your questions about docks is nothing yet and hidden harbor is not open either yet if you launch at state launch stay to the sides their are post in middle of launch where docks go and you could get hung up on them it happened the other day to a guy. also see you are from attica me too

I remember when I was a young boy that everyone came home with blue pike by the hundreds every weekend not saying that fishing alone caused the disappearance of them but in did not help and as for feeling guilty not so  just know what the state biologists say and it is different than you think if you want to keep all those fish go ahead I don't want more laws either but we are the only state or providence that borders lake Erie that has such limits just don't want people crying when we have no fishery left and before you respond to this you might want to call the state biology department and find out for yourself get the facts not your own opinion 518-402-8920 ask how stable the perch fishery is on lake erie.

I totally understand where you r coming from but the state is not always the most correct on such things and are driven by revenue so they make decisions that fall somewhere in the middle if Canada is taking that many fish in their nets then I guess we need to conserve a little more pa and ohio both have 30 fish limits so where does that leave the walleye population very good as I was saying I did not write this is make anyone mad just wanted options maybe I wont be able to do the 25 fish if my clients wont allow but it just scares me to see what could happen we have the best fishery in the country I am fortunate to fish around the world and we have the best I have ever seen .   

jimski2 just saying that at the rate we are going in the next 3-4 weeks I will be well over 8000 fish and the last 3 years we cant catch any perch after the spawn like we did in yrs past  we all could go out anytime of the year and catch perch not so over the past 3 yrs I think the state needs to reevaluate the numbers before it is to late I could be wrong and probably am but I want to air on the side of caution  have many friends in state dept and look what they did to the deer hunting in some areas of the state just a guessing game at times would love to see the actual data gathered by the biologists and how it was collected the state puts a limit on the muskys in the lake and river but anyone that fishes these fish knows that if every fish caught that is of legal size was kept we would not have the fishery that we do im not writing to offend any one but us captains can really put a hurting on things if we don't be carful maby we will be alright with 50 fish but just wondering .

lineman I don't know your brother think you have someone different I run trappercreek charters I run 22.5 ft Crestliner  if any of you see me at launch come talk to me I will be glad to help you . as for the fish limit im starting this tomorrow morning my party agreed to it not sure if the rest will agree I don't know if it will affect the business  any but I will be happy to give it a try  for now don't really want to cut prices but if I  need to we will cross that bridge when we get to it . think their might be trouble coming as I charter a lot of Amish and they want meat and lots of it but I am going to stress the future of our fishery depends on all of us this is just a start on my part

This post goes out to the charter captains I had 5 trips this week with as low as 2,guys and as high as 7 guys  each trip we boxed out total of 1100 fish in five trips so what is to many I am thinking of limiting my clients to only 25 each  just want your input on this and if any of you think like this  I'm afraid at this rate x how many captains x each client we will be in trouble  don't hang me just wondering

yes I know but you know us charter captains  are rich and we have is so easy and make so much on our trips

Larry you know how hard it is to get clients in your boat that is still on the trailer that can hardly get in it in when in the water then launch boat tie off park truck than pull boat in jump in go fish then do in all revers order when coming back in. I had to cancel tomorrow's trips clients to weak and old to do this this no good launches sucks and cost us all money but the fishing is getting good

Fished the inside waters today very ruff to go out to fence found a few today off purina point not fast and furious but not a total lost. talked to dec at handover launch today they told me they wont be putting docks in any time soon to little manpower until they get seasonal help in June told them that their is a lot of money being lost for the area do to limited launch sites he said hidden harbor will be ready before the state launch is ready I guess our money is not green enough for state or town of evens .
