Well good to hear that everyone is getting a taste of winter and getting out .
At least the wind chilled out last night and the game is active today

Great pics charlie!!! Clint we had about 2 this morning. All gone now but noticed the lake effect front rolling this morning just to the south of me. Village Pulaski got nothing...truck stop and south seemed to have been ground zero. Knew it would hit somewhere... 29 farenheit over a warm lake always starts the machine up :)

Too EARLY for that,I would rather look at gold and red!

Glad to hear Clint. I think more fishing will help the recovery.

Made it out for 2 hr.s today and started the chore of wood cutting for keeping the man cave nice and cozy this winter.  Cut two dead falls that the beavers downed last year and the way I figure it; if a cord of wood is 4'x4'x8' then I have 1/4 cord of wood for winter.  At that rate, I'm thinking the electric bill will be a bit higher this winter or I won't be spending much time in the mancave come cold weather!

Been burning on an off for two weeks now. Yesterday started cold and warmed  up a bit with not much rain until dark. I did go out and got a ho, and there were very few fish around. Rained on and off today and the sun came out around 430. Got the plow on the truck and put the boat away for the year. Wheeler is giving me fits only runs well when the choke is on and backfires through the carb. Once it is warmed up fully it runs a bit better, but still backfires and may or may not need choke. It's only at low speeds so guessing it is a plugged jet in the carb. Will see what the shop will charge as I have the knowledge but not the ambition. If they sound reasonable I will have them adjust the valves. Too. If not goodbye to a weekend day.........

It was not, just a small bit of orange starting on the belly, almost looked like another hybrid.

HT I would of much rather had what your holding than what I caught, for sure.   Nice! 
 
If someone would have been video taping me from the time my fishing rod bent over (trolling), through the excitement of the retrieve and, had a close up of my face when that bobber first popped to the surface,  it would probably go viral on the internet!  I didn't know whether to laugh or, stomp my feet and throw a temper tantrum! 
 
Sure had some heavy frost on the pumpkins at my place this morning.  Weather dude had predicted a low of 35 for my little piece of Penn's Woods this morning and according to my temperature gauge the dude only missed by 7 degrees as we had 28.  No surprise about the temperature difference as one can see changes on your vehicle OAT readout as you drive but a mile over gentle rolling hills.
 
Today looks to be the only day of sun and blue skies as the rest of the week looks to be both windy and plenty wet.  I'm seeing 1 to 2" of rain forecast for many areas including NW New York.  Hope the rain is gentle and produces some great fishing on the tribs and doesn't cause a complete blowout.
 
Gotta git....... I hear my boat callin my name! 

Finally getting some rain along the Erie water shed,maybe there will be some water when I get back here in Nov.

Very interesting fishing conditions today. Leaves,wind,rain but some good tugs on the line. Not bad but time to dry everything out

while the weather has been pretty nice, it's just to warm for my liking this time of year.. the Deer are lazy and the ice is non existent..
My sprits are low as well.. After 3 episodes, gads of tests I finally got a diagnosis .. Transient Ischemic Attack.
Not enough blockage to warrant a stent .. thinners , BP meds , counseling and of course healthy lifestyle to prevent the Big One Elizabeth

Well hopefully this rain will bump up flows enough to bring some fish in. Either Oswego or the river Monday for me I think.

Let's hope the weather gives the lake system a much needed recovery .
River is getting pounded hard with all this lower flow . Most are getting roped or continually caught & stressed to death .
I think it's going to be a few years and the steelhead will be the hardest hit

Gorgeous in my neck of the woods too Clint, tomorrow looking to be just as sweet.  Got my icicle lights up today and my gutters cleaned out.   Be hitting the water tomorrow for a little R & R, may be the last trip in the boat this season.
 
Enjoy that bacon.
