nice catch today. with all this wind coming and shoreline flooding warning posted for Jefferson co will that put you out of business for a few days

Not Really Mark,

The Area I Am Set Up On Now Is Protected From High West Winds By 80' To 100' Foot High Sand Dunes.

The Lake Seiche Will Raise The Water Level 2' to 3' Feet But The Muskrat Activity Level Usually Spikes During Events Like This One.

Since We have A 48 Hour Check For Water Trapping Here In The Northern Zone's Jefferson County, I Can And Have Postponed My Check Until Tomorrow.

We Checked 5 Beaver Sets at Dawn And Pulled One 45Lb Beaver Off A Castor Mound In A #44 Blake & Lamb Long Spring.

Today Is A skinning And Put-Up Day.

Too Cold For walleyed To Be Out In This Wind & Low Temperature With Plavix Coursing Through His Veins. LOL

w

Other than the conibears, the Blake and Lamb #44 Double Longsprings, in my opinion, are the best beaver trap ever made.

Yup,

They NEVER miss.

I Had Tom Stalker Put Inside Laminations On Mine, Base Plated & Center Swiveled Them, And Added HEAVY Twist Link Chain With Three Crunchproof Swivel Points.

They Are Now Grim Reapers Of Spring Beaver At Castor Mounds.

Wish I Owned More But They Have Become Something Of An Antique Trap Collector's Item and Can't Be Acquired For Much Under $50.00 Bucks Each.

There Was Some On The Trapshed Recently But They Didn't Last Long.

Picked Up A 40Lb Beaver At A Castor Mound At Upper Black Pond At Dawn, Then Went To The South End Of North Sandy Pond. Pulled 20 Muskrat There Including Another White Tailed, White Footed Blonde Muskrat.

Greene Point Marina Produced One Rat And A 25 LB Yearling Beaver.

Spent The Afternoon Skinning Beaver, and Fleshing & Stretching Rats While Waiting For Today's Rat Catch To Dry Before The Fans. They Were Pretty Water-Logged Due to Their Two Day Soak.

Four Days Left For Beaver Season. 12 days Left Of rat season.

thanks For looking.

Stay Tuned.

We Had Nasty Weather This Morning With High Winds, and Pouring Down Rain.

Ran The Traps and Came Off The Water With 10 Muskrat. Had A Fired 330 At The Cattail Feeding Channel So We Probably Missed a Rat There. (We Looked For A Floater)

One Of The Ten Muskrat Was A Nice Jet BLACK Rat, 2nd One Of The Season. walleyed Will Freeze It Whole For The Herkimer Auction

Came Upon A Massive 10-11 LB Walleye Floundering On the Surface At The South End Of North Sandy Pond. Attempts To Right The Huge Wallow Hog Proved Unsuccessful So It Will Probably Become Gull Lunch.

Great Northern Pike Were Squirting Every Where In The Weedy Shallows. Personally, I Don't Know What's So Great About Them.

The Painted Turtles Have Come Out Of The Mud In Force To Sabotage walleye's Sets and Are Raising Heck With Things So Next Check We Will Be Pulling Here.

The Rats Are Now Drying Before The Fans and walleyed Is Trying To Get Warm & Dry From His Drenching Canoe Paddle.

Thanks For Looking.

Stay Tuned.

Sorry to hear your (walleye) becoming gull bait. (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) I’m bored!

i'm just tryin not to blow away here now.rain has changed to snow also.thanx for takin me along here again this season.

We Checked The Greene Point Marina Sets On Foot Today And Went 3 For 4 On Rat Sets.

Nada In Our Two Beaver Sets. The 30 MPH North West Wind Talked Us out Of Launching The Canoe Today .

The Sandy Pond Sets Are Set For A Two Day Soak And Then Pull.

Today Is a Flesh & Stretch Muskrat Day.

Thanks for Looking.

Stay Tuned.

One Of Our 330's Was Pulled Off The 48" Coni-Bear Stand And Missing From A Castor Mound This Morning At Upper Black Pond. The Stakes & Coni-Stand Were Laying Flat On the Bottom.

walleyed Raked The Bottom With His Boat Hook To No Avail. We'll Return In The Morning With An Extension Pole Duct-Taped To the Boat Hook.

The South End Of North Sandy Pond Experienced A 3+ Foot Plus Raise In The Water Level Over The Last Two Days Resulting In Two Of walleyed's Four Floats Being Swept Away By The Lake Ontario Lake Seiche During The Hurricane Force Winds Of Wednesday & Thursday.

Both The 5 Foot Conduit Stakes Were Still On Location, But The Floats Had Risen Higher Than The Top Of The Stakes, And Were Now No-Where In Sight.

A Careful Shoreline Search Failed to Turn Up Either Of The Recalcitrant Floats

We Took Nine Rats And Pulled All Traps after A Good Week Of Trapping Here.

Hope To Reset Sunday If Good Weather Permits For The Final Week Of Rat Trapping.

Thanks For Looking.

Stay Tuned.

Good luck finding everything

Your the man. I had all the logistics set up to trap near your area but I am a woose. No trapping for me in this kind of weather......jk

well no new stories still have a few days left

I'm Busy Putting Up Fur For This Weekend's Herkimer Fur Auction.

We Tweeked Our Back On Monday Dragging The Canoe Full Of Traps & Stakes Into An Off-Road Fur Pocket.

You Can Now Stick A Fork In Me.

Besides, "Old Baldy" Said There Aren't Any Muskrats Left In New York. LMAO !!!

It's Best He Continues To Remain Clueless & Ignorant.

w

He's probably right. Zoomed in on Google Earth and didn't see any swimming in the upper Oswegatchie River.

You Got Suckered Into The DVD, Didn't You ?
