Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2017 12:01 pm
2016 came in with a bang with spring like weather and fishing was on fire. january through march the bite on the rivers was so good i never hit any ice fishing where there was safe ice. something i rarely ever miss in the winter . fished mostly rivers and some laker fishing on shore casting lures. landed my biggest brown in january and biggest salmon ever in february but landed many good size salmon in the 5 lb plus range. i had plenty of good company fishing also with wayne, vt matt, vt matts brother and vt matts freind edin jimbow and more and some other forum members.
then came april ist opening of trout season in new york. wayne and i hit some bushwhack ponds and did very well with the highlights wayne nice brown and i losing a bobber and a hook
only to have a brookie get it loose and swim by wayne and wayne thinking it was his bobber pulling in his line. then 2 weeks later i think fishing that same pond i was fishing with 2 bobbers took a walk to check out the outlet came back and to my amazement there was 3 bobbers out there and one moving. wasnt long another started moving and i started retreiving that line and to my surprise i had a nice brookie tangled up in my line the same brookie that swam by wayne a week ago. got my bobber back and hook and released the brookie back in the pond. wayne and i then started hitting some roadside ponds for trout and did very well on occasion . then soon i was heading down to the lake spin casting for salmon and browns sometimes in may and june. also was going to test the new casting honeybee for jim and it wasnt no surprise to me they catch fish and cast very well and will be good trolling also. the salmon bite was a slow start where i normally fish so i had to do some scouting with the help of some forum members that were trolling the area. once i did the fun started and the salmon bite was on fire. right into june the salmon were still active in 2 to 8 fow. then hairbone, jimmer, and others started asking me to go out trolling with them. what a blast that was ist time out with harry i lost what we thought when we saw it jump 2 or 3 times a 10 lb plus salmon that broke me off. harry and i had a great day that day and every time we went out. i even lassoed a salmon that day and i hope to post the pic later. then out with jimmer and ed out first trip what a blast that was as i saw all the hits and jimmer and ed would just shake there heads and would eventually grab the right rod and fish on. we caught plenty of salmon and lakers that day but they didnt compare to all the laughs we had. to end that day on a funny note we started reeling in the rods to go and ed says i got a bunch of weeds on this rod i said ed are they coming up ed says no so i tell ed then you got a laker on ed just looked at me funny and then he got his line in closer and he says not weeds a nice laker. we were laughing all the way in to the boat launch. brought jimmer down shore casting for salmon 1 evening and what hits jimmers lure 10 feet from shore but a 40 inch 15 lb pike. you talk about startled wow this was chaos. i grabbed the net and every time the pike would get close it would shoot out with jimmer just backing up as he went out. dont know how many times i attempted to put it in the net but seemed like forever. finally got it in the net and swung it up and over to jimmer who i think was at least 6 feet back from shore now. we gave each other the high fives and jimmer just landed his biggest pike ever casting for salmon. there was alot more interesting outings these ist 6 months and cant post everything but would like to thank all forum members for their help . to many to list on here it was a great ist 6 months of 2016. will post some pics. failed to mention me testing the new casting honey bees for jim . they turned out just as expected the salmon crushed them and casting them with even 12 lb trilene big game was good.
