First Ice Lands Several Lake Erie Perch

Went ice fishing for the first time of the year. Early ice this season. Was a bit sketchy, first hole 3 inches. Headed off the public dock. North east winds 15-20 made it very frigid. Perch were turned on though, landed about 40 fish. Kept 12. Lots of young fish. Great action for the opener.

Quail And Pheasants On Action Filled Day In PA

Treated myself to a nice hunt south of Erie on a Game Bird Farm. Released 20 quail and 4 pheasants. Ended up with 18 quail and 4 pheasants in about 3 hours. Some really fast furious shooting behind a well trained bird dog. Lots of meat for the freezer. Wish all days could be this wild.

Nice Ringneck Pheasants On State Game Lands

Beautiful day to be out in the woods. Started pushing thickets at 6:00 taday. Ran up and down rows until 4:00. Found two big ones today in the afternoon. Did not see a bird for 8 hours. Then two ringnecks went up. Two shots with my double barrel and now I have Thanksgiving dinner. Nice.

Pheasants And Grouse In Warren County PA

Went to Warren PA gamelands for some upland bird hunting. Pushed fields, thickets, and brush for nearly 9 hours. Managed three flushes, downing two hen pheasants and a grouse. More nice birds for the table.

Fine Pheasants For Pennsylvania Opener

Headed to Gamelands today on my favorite day of the season. Found some nice birds. Really had to work for them. Walked about 7 hours to locate birds. Very crowded, got pushed around by large groups of guys. Finally found some luck on the edges and large structure. Birds were nice, large size with good markings. Will be a tasty treat for the freezer. Looking forward to the rest of pheasant season.

Channel Catfish Large In lake Erie

Went down to the Bayfront this evening with the kids. Large front moving in and barometer plummeting. I knew fish would be turned on. Caught a large Channel Cat about 7lbs, 24 inches. Gave my kids a nice fight. Took both of them holding on to the rod to get this fat fish in. Caught about 10 Sheepshead, and multiple smaller perch. A fun and exciting evening.

Sheepshead Biting Hard At Border Patrol

Took the kids out for a night of fishing. Went to the Border Patrol in search of crappie on the wall. Fished last couple of hours of light. Caught several large sheepshead on minnows. Nothing else. Fun for the kids to reel in but nothing for the table.
