Funny . They are cows . The 41 weighed only 28 and the smaller was heavier but not a legal keep due to slot .
I don't like the slot . We had to release some gut hooked heavily bleeding fish even though, circle hooks and cutting line quickly. It's gonna happen using 12" bait getting sucked into vacuum feeding fish .
There needs to be a better permit system, like X amount of tags , stamps or punch cards per season.
If they are punched and done so is your rod . I would have kept a 29 and a 33" instead of letting a dead fish "swim" away , rather then keep a healthy 41" lip hooked fish .

2 bites tonight, river got a bit dirty.
Slow that rain dance down for another week

Weather took a 90 deg swing in the pm . 10 mph north wind but tide was flowing out .
A pig pulled over the rail and swam away happy. Post pics of this week when time allows if there is an interest at all

Lots of interest Rich......POST THEM!!

Pafisher did ya catch that;  he "won't be back to the computer until Sunday",  boy it must be tough being HT. lol
 
Catch a bunch Tuna. 
 
 
Tight lines and good times.

As said ,
here are a few fish from last weeks adventures...
36", 33", 37" & 39"
A few more were caught by friends and family. these are mine.. I did not catch any yesterday although the bite was HOT !!
Day off today to hang out with that sweet little woman and out to dinner..  Back at it PT next week and last charge next weekend before I pull the Mae:
Hope the weather plays nice, I could use some Tee- Shirt days :)

 

 

 

 
All fish released (mandatory slot , ugh) successfully
 
 

Tuna those are real beauties to say the least, congratulations and, great pictures too!  

Finally found some trout today. Was starting to think crazy thoughts. A couple of weeks ago I got sent to GA for the week brought the fly rod and got into some rainbows and Browns on the Chattahoochie ( I'm sure that's spelt wrong) till today I actually caught more trout there than here in NY

The nights keep getting longer and the weather sure got better today .
It was one of those shoulda , coulda, woulda, nights on the water .
Week #4 and from 6 pm till 8:30 pm we shoulda put double digits on the deck .
Playing with so many and landing a fish , makes life so good .

Time for shower, grub and sleep only to do it all over again :)
Pics when time allows

Great catch rich. I hit Oneida and dropped two at the boat. That is all for around here.

The weather turned sour today and so has the upper mighty Hudson.
Striper season 2016 has come to a close for me . We haven't caught a fish or even a bite since Wednesday evening. The boat is home , washed and de funked.
To me it was a great season, many fish came aboard, much more got away. Sure hope to be able to do this all again next spring.

For anyone that watches tv , I generally don't but the wife bought this thing call a fire stick. It's pretty cheap and works off an Internet connection to your tv.
I have been watching some great steelhead fishing shows for hours. I guess it may just motivate me again. Well , ,,
We will see what the Great Lake holds

Spit a little snow here too. It's windy, windy ,windy too. I got the garden plowed and disc yesterday. Found a baby calf I thought for sure was gone. Did not see it for two days , momma hid it good. Going to get my chicken coop from the Amish this week and get my chickens out of the garage.......

Good luck Clint, sure sounds like you could use a few good days on the water and congrats on the calf.  
 
Just watching my neighbors pasture and see his herd has expanded by three.
 
Tight lines and good times.

Howdy howdy fellow bloggers, all's well here in my little piece of Penn's Woods with a beautiful "Bluebird" morning sky.  I haven't much to tell regarding fishing except my catching still sucks but, whose complaining?  
 
Got around to (and I have no idea why) opening the swimming pool.  I have one of those "premium" (good for ten years) pool covers I bought three years ago that now looks like cheese cloth laying on the ground, drying.
 
Naturally there was water laying on the cover which required some siphoning that went well but unfortunately, took about 2000 gallons of pool water too. That in turn lead to the water level being too low to spill into the skimmer box requiring additional water to be added from my water well.
 
Not a problem though, my well can handle the situation (knock on wood) but as luck would have it, my coffee this morning taste like I'm drinking it through a rusty steel straw.
 
Hopefully the fresh water will assist in clearing the green water which now inhabits my pool and after the injection of algaecides and chlorination followed by 3 to 5 days of filtering along with; additional well water do to filter back-washing, I shall be able to sit beside my green swimming pool enjoying the flavor of rusty coffee.
 
Time to go fishing I think and remissness about the days when I couldn't wait, to retire. 
 
Tight lines and good times to all.
 

Right you are Lucky but I can use the pool, to practice with my new fishing lures before heading out in the boat and it also, saves time with bathing the dogs. 
 
Tight lines and good times.

Lol , pools and boats . Both have been part of my life as long as I recall.
We have a 18x36 also . Personally I prefer a lake to swim and a boat to fish but the wife insist on the pool and grandkids like it too .
Went threw many covers from expensive that only last a few years to the tarp style I buy now at job lot and last just as long ( 3-4 seasons) .
Mine still has the cover on and I'm getting bugged to take it off , ugh ..
It's usually clear water when that happens but attention is required immediately or it goes south quick. I'd like to fill mine in :)

Well, the nice light rain did my garden well . It however is making my grass grow , yuck !! Mowing is my least favorite summer chore ..
Enjoy the upcoming holiday and hope you all well .

Nice fishing Charlie and thanks for sharing, seems the weather was better out there then on the mighty Hudson
