Dime- Just got back its Thurs nite about 1145,
If you wanna get a 'summer run' Steel ya better rush. They went out of my favorite side creek right on time 3 weeks ago and the only thing I saw swimming in the SR today was stone dead and floating. Could be that their 'time clock' isnt too affected by the cool weather.
Only talked to a couple of guys cause there were only a couple of guys. Couple of hookups for the past couple of days each and nothing landed for 2 days for each of them. They were separate one low and one up. One guy was wearing polarized glasses and said he saw one here and there right tight to the shore and lethrgic looking.
Am sure the fish are there but ya gotta know where to go or get lucky. Havent hit my mid to late May secret spot yet. Fella said they still have fish in the hatchery so more are certainly on the way down.
When I got up late Wed. PM stopped and watched a guy hookup on a drift boat at Ellis but he lost it. Was making a lot of waves and may have been fouled. Drizeled all the way up and in the very low 40s- got real nice today and the water seem to be coming down and its pretty clear. Syracuse paper said they just had 19 days with some rain each day. I cleaned up on Chubs and fished the top and the bottom in the afternoon and evening.
Never saw a Turkey all the way up all along the Mass Pike & the Thrughway. Nothing Gobbling at my place today either, Then the wife called and said the dog died. Figured I was zero for three and called the trip short and came home before getting hit by a truck or something.
BTW- here I go again- just read some business 'reports' and gotta say ---just erased a long paragraph about bovine field splatter- why bother. Bounced around a few places reading the reports and the 'ON FIRE' term was used. No wonder the guys complain sometimes -they read that stuff-run up and experience 'ON FIRE' and never come back. Kinda like those places that have been "going out of business" for 20 years.
