Ron and Justin Root with a really nice 15 in. 1-3/4 lb Perch that was the biggest of about 15 perch they caught on fathead minnows from the pier in Watkins. They also had on a huge smallmouth bass but it tore loose at the rock wall!.
Here is Mr. Williams with a nice 8-1/2 lb. 35 in. long Northern Pike caught off the pier in Watkins Glen using a bass size shiner about 12 ft. under a slip bobber. They know how to filet the bones right out and cook the sweet meat boneless!
Here is Casi Johnson left,and Joe Kuklis, a couple of human huntin' dogs! They bagged 6 fat rabbits and 2 plump squirrels without the help of a real dog. They say they know how to cook em' with the best! Alright for some younger guys who aren't tied to the couch. These boys have also been putting some serious time in on fishing at the pier, and some of it in not the nicest weather as sometimes that is when the perch and blue gills seem to start hitting big time.
Captain Ed Cragg took out some guys for a day of fishing. Great weather to fish this time of year. Went 15 out of 20, with 5-10 more hits. The guys kept a few.
Well, here is more of the girls in Capt. Sean Browns life providing him with the "luck" to blow away his 43 fish total from the other day. Now it takes 49 fish landed to keep the females happy! I've lost count of how many Grand Slams these fishin' machines have pulled off thru this fall and early winter of crazy good fishing but I am thankful they are release oriented the hungry sister not-withstanding! I'm not sure but I don't think Sean is burning too much gas from Watkins to get to where he's "gitten er' done". Sean says flashers, flies, and spoons from 20 - 120 ft. down out over 150 - 300 ft. of water.
James, AKA "over easy " Brown and his side kick Jeremy Krause with 4 nice Landlocked Salmon and one fat Brown trout taken trolling spoons and flies and Yo-Zuri's just out of Watkins Glen. The trollers are just crushing fish and so are the shore guys! My advise is to tape the big game or favorite show so that you can watch it later while you are fileting and eating fresh fish. PS. All of our good guys know enough to not be fish pigs right now just cause the numbers are amazing! Just got a phone report that the Matwiejou {hope I spelled it right } gang Joe, Dave, I don't know if Rich was along, but their catch numbers were
in the 30's!!!
This is great grampa Rev. William Lusk smiling, thinking of taking Riah fishing as soon as she can walk, which won't be long. The pink girlie doll toys got dropped and forgotten as soon as she got that fish pole in her hands!! Except for the pink realtree camo teddy bear she will take with her on the fishing trips.
Here is my 10 mo. old granddaughter Riah Faith with her first {but certainly not her last} fishing pole for Christmas. I don't think she knows the purpose of this tool yet but she has already figured out how to make people and lamps scurry for cover to keep from getting whopped around!
Here is Larry with a nice fat 4 lb. Smallmouth Bass and a 4-1/2 lb. Landlocked Salmon caught off the pier in Watkins Glen. He was using fathead minnows with the Salmon coming on a slip bobber 12 ft. down, and for the bass an egg sinker heaved out as far as he could (which was around 30 ft. deep).
Capt. Sean Brown finally had to admit that it was his 3 young daughters who thru skill and fishing luck showed him how to put over 40 salmon and trout in a boat in a 5 hr. trolling adventure on Seneca Lake. I do believe they did the grand slam (even though no brown trout are in the pics). All but 2 fish were successfully released back to the lake. |
