Sunday (11/1), headed back over to Long Point on Chautauqua Lake with my son to see if we could
get into the perch again.  This time from shore.   Got there at 11 a.m.; quit when he got cold at 1 p.m.
Landed between 120-130 perch; including a couple of nice "jacks".   Panfish worms and float combo
again, this time casting distance from shore.   Ended up keeping enough for dinner, and released the
rest.



Tuesday (11/3); headed up to hit some Lake Ontario tributaries with my friend Capt. Bud (Alibi) on our
annual election day "tour".

Left at 4 am; and were standing in 18 mile creek to get a spot well before sun-up.  Sparse crowd to start
and we were able to get set up on a nice run just under the trestle.  Early fishing was really pretty good.
I got a king pushing 20lbs, and 5-6 lb fresh steelie, and a 7lb brown, plus broke off a king on one
of Bud's hookups.   Had a few other pickups too.  Bud did much better, landing 6 browns, a coho
and a spent king.

Then the fun began with the arrival of a lot more anglers.  While some were cordial, there were quite
a few that literally worked their way right into the waters we've been fishing all morning, some went across
to do the same, so that you had to time your cast with theirs so you did not tangle.   After Bud had a fish move
downstream, one of our "fellow anglers" promptly took over his spot!   I hate to lump all of the guys
there into one category, as there were many that moved out of the way if you hooked up, etc, BUT there
were more than a couple  "anglers" that don't seem to care about anyone but themselves.   Its a shame
as it was a great start to the day up until then.

SO we moved...east to Johnson's Creek.  Not much happening there, although Bud hooked up twice, 
so we moved again, this time to the archer's hole on Oak Orchard.   Not to much happening there either.

Time to head back, but since we were in the neighborhood, Bud and I stopped in to grab a bite and 
a beverage at the Black North Inn.  My lucky day, as Steve had my favorite soup (Cajun Chicken) on the
menu.  Great to see you guys again!

Overall, a really nice weather day (we didn't get the rain/snow until the way home), Bud and I got to
travel around a bit and hang out, we hooked some fish and got to stop for a bit at one of our favorite
places!   Ain't all bad!!
