Most all my key rainbow spots are junk, but I'll take one more run somewhere this weekend.
I don't do much trolling these days. So after next weekend.....it's Harley, River Trout fishing, Turkey.

I don't even know what to say, Frank, except that this Deep Devil I have right now must taste so much better lol.

I'm calling it for the season, unfortunately. Everything around here looks iffy, and scouting isn't in the cards right now. I still have 11 bait fish, and I see some open water on some year round places, so I might try it with the rod. I was thinking of employing a bobber to keep the bait suspended and swimming. Does that make sense, or is there another tactic that would work better?

Hanging them under a bobber work fine... Good luck.

That sounds much better!

Your tactic will work fine anywhere it’s legal.

Up north here guys will put the shiner on a hook and stick the hook on the end of pvc pipe and keep adding extensions to it until the get to there desired distance under the ice from the open shoreline then pull the pvc pipe back in as it leaves the bait out there. Works slick

All I can say is wow been on a family vacation out of the country for the last 3 weeks was on the ice when I left and come home to no snow and no ice was hoping to get out a couple more times this year but scratch that. Hope you guys had a great season thanks for all the laughs and banter this season.

Solid plan, I've never Turkey hunted, going to give it a go this year, alot of them behind my house, going to try with a bow.

Are flounders fun or just good eating?  I never thought that they would be fun.

Just curious question from a guy that is thousands of miles from flounders.

Where the heck did you find one in youth? I've been looking for that same gun to no avail. I've got a chance to grab a mossy super bantam 500 youth for my son. Like I was telling you a few weekends ago, I have a h+r pardner, but being a single shot, it still packs a wollop. Great gun but he needs something choked down for turkeys as well.

Ohh. Those were the ones you were talking about.
