pawle76 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 are there smallies past the Gilboa dam towards Prattsville and Lexington? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnhu Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 wait till they allow nuisance fishing...guys out there with spotlights fishing before the season opens......you'll be lucky if any are left. Nothing wrong with using lights while fishing. Places I fish, have no closed season for bass.

shawnhu Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I guess I have nothing against catch and release......unless the "catchers" are doing so just to have something to brag about. I have been practicing "catch and release" with trout for years. Why....I'm not sure....except that I get more meat from bass, and they taste just as good, or better. My outing yesterday (which brought out some interesting nitpicking comments from some with guilty consciences) resulted in nine bass being released. So...yeah, I'm OK with catch and release. It is interesting that there are those who would attack me for clinging to my traditional values. It is really kind of sad that our youngsters cannot appreciate the values of their forebears. Those who would attack their elders deserve the compassion of the rest of us. Please forgive those who are so attached to modern techonology that they cannot appreciate those of us who cling to the past. Perhaps the attacks would stop if you hadn't wished ill on others and their families.

Early Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Oh, Puleeze Schanhu, get a grip. I wish ill on no one....not even the food plot gang....not even the trail cam cult...not even those who shoot a bow that looks like a fold up bike a clown would ride in a circus. Now, do I think there are those who are hunting that I would not call hunters??...Absolutely! But that is just my opinion, based on my perspective. We may not agree on this, but I wish you no ill. Perhaps that is the difference between you and me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 pawle76.....Not sure about smallies in the Prattsville direction. Downstream, however, from the dam to the Mohawk River is smallie heaven. If you have not fished it....give it a try soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please forgive those who are so attached to modern techonology that they cannot appreciate those of us who cling to the past. This just baffles me a bit, you attacked the majority of members about how you have a dislike for someone using technology like a trail cam as a thread topic, No one came out and attacked your traditional values until you attacked everyone else. If you cant handle the response why post the thread to begin with? There is absolutely nothing wrong with traditions and personal values in any aspect of life. However if you choose to attack others expect to be replied to or just choose not to take a stance against what others enjoy. I see no one starting a thread bashing a guy for not using trail cams or modern archery or did I miss those post? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Please refer to your first reply to this thread...Your only purpose was to provoke a fight of some sort....Shame on you! Please do not distort posts that are meant to be informational to promote some agenda that you have. Your butt-covering double-speak says much about you. Again, shame on you!

wdswtr Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Please refer to your first reply to this thread...Your only purpose was to provoke a fight of some sort....Shame on you! Please do not distort posts that are meant to be informational to promote some agenda that you have. Your butt-covering double-speak says much about you. Again, shame on you! Butt covering double speak? What exactly am I covering up? The intention of my first reply was to show you how it feels to attack someones methods of how they spend there time with passion I might ad in the great outdoors. Its just simple as that, no distortion what so ever just plain laying it out there for you to show how it feels to be on the other side of the thread. If me defending what so many use as a source of happiness in this messed up world from one guy bashing technology and a simple thing as a trail camera says much about me then I will take that as a compliment. Oh and SHAME ON YOU with the multiple negative young guy comments! Edited October 19, 2013 by wdswtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ahh, dang....You are right: My post could have come off looking like a brag. Certainly was not my intention. My 15"-17" smallies were really not bragging size. If you want to see some bragging size bass, checkout the current NY Outdoor News. "One Huor Limit" simply suggests that the Fall bite is on. If you want to catch bass....go fishing NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too advanced, don't forget the mercury thermometer when you leave home.
