We,re never gonna change the price of anything going up ,Icurrently fish in NJ NY PA AND VT IT DOES GET EXPENSIVE ,but think of the good times and friends you come across in the coarse of that license year and average it by the day it's all worth it .I'm a NJ resident and it just cost me $120. as a resident to fish and hunt and I'll hunt NY and possibly VT and if I get nothing it was still worth the time  and memories .
If your going to go out with the boys,You better get up with the men.

NY had to raise the price of everything. Our dimwit governor needed a new bullet proof limo and had to double the size of his security detail! Obama doesn't like him!

My Resident went from $19 to $29 and the Sportsman went from $34 to $47.

I'll bet they will cut back on the fish stocking programs now.

Hey topher, you may be closer to the truth than you realize. If this economy continues to tank we all are going to keep everything we catch,
shoot or runover with the truck!!!

Hey guys.....just wanted to let ya know I was heading up to Big Pond with a buddie of mine.  Anyone who wants to meet up is welcome.

How is the fishing on Big Pond? Any decent perch in there?

Yes! Perch, Crappie, Pickerel and trout but I would never say it is great fishing.

Seems like the fish have a schedule on when they eat and if you happen to be there it can be great. There are many days up there when Skunk is the order for the entire day.

White lake has a good supply of nice perch and is usually a bit more productive.

Thanks. A lot of places seem to fish like that. Feast or famine. I usually head to Swinging Bridge and fish into the night for walleye when I'm down by White Lake. It's kind of an addiction.

Are there really Pike in White Lake?

Yesterday was not a good day on Big pond.  1 small trout and a few flags.....otherwise we had the wind from HELL.....lol   It was slow for everyone I think.....didnt see alot of action anywhere.  Also spoke with a local and he said the state stocked all small trout under 12" in there.  On the way back I stopped by swinging bridge res.  There was a green shanty out there....but the edges looked sketcky with water comming through the snow and the water is down probably 8-10 feet.  Spoke to a ranger there and he told me that they were catching alot of perch and crappie on morningside....said he even saw a guy with a keeper walleye.

We are having a heat wave over here. Temp just went up to 12* for the first time all day. Been snowing horizontal since last night and one place I am glad to not be at is on the ice.

I never mind the cold with the shanty and heater but I hate the wind and would really rather just stay home and deal with grumpy.

Safe to say we should have some great ice by thursday when the wind gets out of here.

I never heard of Pike in White Lake but I know there are some nice Lakers and Trout that rarely ever get caught in hard water.

A few guys came down last year from Otsego and tried to figure out how to get the Lakers. They went home skunked just like I normally do.

I am real close to Swinging Bridge but never fish there because all I like is trout.

Hmmm... I love how the women always get blamed.. ::)

Topher was just too much of a wuss to brave the wind and cold today.... don't let him fool ya.

And Holehawg... ya'll are invited for dinner any Sat you want... you guys bring the beer and food... and Topher will cook it for ya while I go shopping  :clap: I think you guys are great... after all you keep him out of my hair all winter (he gets very bored and grouchy.... I encourage him leaving the house)!

And for the record.. I didn't tell him he couldn't go fishin' ....I simply told him I'm not bringing the baby home until she has a bedroom to sleep in. I can find a hotel.....
....Yes, as a matter of fact, I DO fish like a girl...
