Took my Army buddy out on Erie last weekend, put a few walleye in the boat Saturday. Sunday we only managed to catch one before we got chased off the lake by the NE wind. We were out in 65 FOW, running dipsys divers with harnesses down to about 25-35 feet in the water column.

 Is this believable?

100%

Actually not that uncommon for this time of year to get a photo with several bucks of that caliber from a well managed property.

I think a lot less roadkills happened, in general, in 2020, due to the pandemic and people staying put.  I know more people were out hunting but I think many less were taken out by vehicles.  That's my story and sticking to it!

Great points.  This might be a pretty dangerous year in terms of road kills and wrecks caused by deer.  Probably something to keep stored in the back of your head while driving in the next few months until hunters are able to thin the herds.
 
I was thinking about your second point of more hunting, which was definitely the case fishing, so assume hunting as well.  But it is much easier to fish than hunt.  Deer hunting isn't something that I think most can just casually pick up and have much success.  There are only so many deer in the public game lands too, which I would assume more new hunters are likely going to those public game lands.  I would imagine the new hunters of last year, likely didn't put too much of a dent in.  Many are likely done with it after spending hours in the woods with only seeing other hunters everywhere and likely having to take cover every hour or so when someone decides to shoot or 5 guys shooting at the same deer...

     This one in ditch this afternoon near camp  

Got home from our 2 dayer last night. Monday was a bust. Bite was tough and wind didn't cooperate. Tuesday was better early for weather. We took the jaunt out of NE and hit the mountain. Fished 40-50 down over 80-85FOW. Ended up with 6 before she started to blow west and kick up 2 n 3s. Hopefully September provides some decent conditions. I'd like to get out to that deep another time or two.

Fished the Mon on my brothers pontoon on Sat. Aug.28. Caught a few bass on a bigger Hot-n-Tot. Downsized to a smaller Tot and caught a nice walleye.

Congrats. 
 
Hope you guys didn't get caught in that monsoon.  
 
Not sure if you were trying to post a pick.  Not showing up if you were.  Some other graphic is showing up.

Weather has not been cooperative. Tried to hit the river near whitsett on the kayaks today and we got poured on then got chased off the water by thunder and lightning. Only got 2 small bass.

I also floated cedar creek to west Newton Wednesday morning and it was a scorcher. Got a couple bass in some shady spots but there was just no escape from the sun. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky until like 2pm.

I’m also hoping September is better weather. I’m in the process of putting a casting deck, some hatches, and a floor on my 14’ tin V hull. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for years, and I finally have the right tools and some dry storage to make it work. I should be about done in another week or two and I’d like to get it in the water for some fishing in September and October, and maybe even hit one of those boat in campgrounds at Kinzua. We had a pretty good weekend camping up there last July.

Do you have a motor for the V hull? Prop or jet? Can you get through the rapids on the Yough?

I’ve got a 12’ v that I haven’t taken out in years. I launched it once at Cedar Creek about 8-9 years ago. I was too scared of stranding myself to take through the skinny water. Kind of limited sticking to the pool alone.
