Saturday sunny and water temp according to my hummingbird piranha 61 degrees. Monday rainy 52 degrees. Today, Wednesday, up to 56. I expect by weekend, with sunny 70s forecast, I expect back into low...

Only 10 miles but I paid 2.50 a dozen flatheads. Where should I look for minnows by the pound?

As a beekeeper, wax moths are an arch enemy. I have lost more frames of bee hives to them than I care to remember. Wax moths, in NY, are about 3/4 inch gray to white and do not show up until mid...

Stopped by the north shore camping area launch a couple times this week. The docks are in, even the slips for campers to tie up their boats. Water is stained, your hand does not go numb in it :) ...

'Fishing' from the iPad yielded good news, looks like they did a lot of work in 2010 and 2011 with adding structure and this...

Well I dragged this old thread up from the past. I have not floated a boat since Jan 2011 but I pulled it into the garage for prep work. Maybe go test drive on Cowanesque but a real cold wave going...

[QUOTE=joejv4;1061130]I sent another PM - this time with my address .........QUOTE] that'll usually help :D
I used the Slab Sauce on two trips so far but the fishing was SOOOO bad I can't say much...

You left out the part about being able to 'walk on water':D
Well with the warm week and rainy forecast my newly found ice fishing has ended. Ice isn't safe but it prevents boating so I guess it's...

Blame the mail system Joe and keep checking. Hope your carrier isn’t a fisherman!
About the upstate site you got there – I tried to join but the registration confirmation email never showed up. Yes...

Ditto Eddie here – just yesterday as I browsed a thread about your scents I wondered whatever happened to that sample I sent a PM about. When I got home and checked the mail there it was – THANK YOU...

I’m looking to share the cost of ordering some live ice fishing bait. (wholesalebait.com) I’ll be ordering spikes and wax worms to be available by the weekend. I’m looking for four people in the...

OK, so I not only do not know how to ice fish, I do not know anybody who does either. But I live under a mile from frozen Cowanesque Lake and 17 miles from Hammond Lake. I don’t see anyone ice fish...

It is kinda hard to see the 20 pound test braided line that fastens rods to rod holders.

Any tips on where to find crappie in the winter? Just in general, not on any particular lake. I made my first ice fish trip yesterday and while it was a nice day, fish would have make it better! Deep...

... and then there is always the free and readily available types of rod holders:D

I've found that fishermen are a friendly sort - just take that coffee supply and head out onto inhabited ice and I'm sure you'll see and hear a lot of stories without interupting anybody at all....

I haven't seen a crappie since my wife made some room in the freezer! About to try ice fishing, bought a hand auger years ago and never used it. I'm going to test fish on private pond then try Keuka...

I suspect that the launch fees charged at Hammond and Cowanesque lakes goes to the feds and not to PA. That oversupply of park rangers are on the federal payroll I believe because these lakes are...

It worked ... and going into Hammond Lake

Just for fun if it posts correctly - here is the link to the USGS river flow data for the Cowanesque River just before it hits the lake.

Fished the inlet Sunday morning and again on Monday evening. Same story - dinks right on the structure but nothing at all to keep. Water coming over the falls was slightly discolored from upstream...

Local Channel 18 news this morning say today is the day they apply herbicide to the lakes to control millfoil. Not safe to swim in for the day but it has no affect on the fish. :confused:

I was on Waneta Lake about 40 miles north last Saturday. Lake temp there was 59 to 60 degrees. I found 66 degrees in the boat launch channel and 63 where it hit the lake but caught nothing but gills....

A floating aquarium thermometer is a handy piece of fishing equipment to have when without boat electronics.

From what I heard from the park operator at Cowanesque last summer, there were some improvements to be done on the launch ramps at Tioga/Hammond that required the lowering of the lake levels. They...

Annual thread for those of us along the northern border. Have not been out there yet this year, just bought and printed my license. Boat is still hooked up and loaded left from a 150 mile round trip...

Take a friend - split the gas!

So lake temps were in the high 50s May 24th, then 75 degrees two weeks later on June 8th, I found eggs in a crappie I caught on June 15th. I’ve still not seen the gathering of Amish wagons that...

Well I think I’ll have to strip the fishing equipment list down to the bare essentials and load the saddlebags of the Yamaha and do some travel this week between rain storms. I have four places in...

So what are the odds that the crappie have not completed the spawn and settled into a summer pattern yet?
I found eggs still in a female yesterday that I caught right on the NY/PA border. The...
