Time for Austin Passamonte, "New York Super-Trapper" to ready His Red 15 Foot Unsinkable Coleman Canoe to make His Final Death Run Down The Mighty Black River. Austin can Embark on his Ill-Fated Journey at the VanDuzee Street Bridge and the Rescue Crews can Extract His Frozen Corpse just a short Time later at the Pen Stock Debris Screens at Glen Park Hydro Plant before the start of the Gorge above Brownville. I figure Austin will meet his Untimely but Spectacular End just northwest, and Just Downstream of the Route 81 Bridge in The Giant, Impassible, Non-navigable, Bone-Crusher Hydraulic Canadian Folksinger Gordon Lightfoot Could Write and Sing another Famous Ballad about: "The Wreck of the Austin Passamonte" It would go Viral on Trapperman.com and YouBoob in less than 24 hours. Holly will be the Rich, Eligible, Single, Widowed, Million-Airess Of The Passamonte Fortune. Stay Tuned Trappers. w

[quote author=" austinp" Bullheads aren't high on my list of eating fish, but I love to catch them. If it were still legal to sell them to restaurants, I'd make it a part-time job every spring [/quote] Duh, Austin, They are legal to sell up here in Jefferson County from Lake Ontario Waters. Get your Poles, your buckets, your Lanterns, worms, and leeches, and get up here The run is about to start. w

Duh, Austin, They are legal to sell up here in Jefferson County from Lake Ontario Waters. Get your Poles, your buckets, your Lanterns, worms, and leeches, and get up here The run is about to start. w yes, I bumped into some guys running hoop nets in March two years ago while spring rat trapping. But I'm thinking with the price of gas, might cut into my profits a wee bit if I have to commute that far to fish.

Awoke to four inches of heavy wet snow covering everything and coated in freezing rain. 75% of my Floats were sunk with snapped traps in Raging torrents that were small brooks yesterday. Reset and relured everything and added two castor mound sets and a Beaver bank den hole covered by a MB 12x16 Mega-Bear. Picked up two more rats in some out of the way Bottom-edge sets. Stepped over my Hip waders more times than I can count. The water was Icy cold and so were my feet. w

Stopped at my First Check at the Dairy Farm Brook and saw I had a chain down. Scrambled down over the Icy Bank and pulled up this puppy. Crossed over The North Branch of Mighty Sandy Creek and noted it was cracked open and ready for Austin Passamonte's Death Run. Checked the Bridge at Mud Brook where The Dwarf sometimes deployed floats and had another chain down which resulted in this second rat. Found another Rat waiting in my Duke #160 Bottom edge set, the Third day in a row that this set has produced. Same rat pulled up on the downed willow tree. Check out the mink tracks running this flooded Brook bank in the snow, and up over the road, avoiding the culvert walleyed had guarded with #160's. Did not score in any of my three beaver sets. tomorrow is another day. w

nice catches and pics, walleyed... thank you for taking the time to photo & post. That's the extent of muskrat trapping for many of us until next season. I can almost smell the melting ice runoff, mud and muskrat musk from here!

I threw in a New Float Set at the Wiffle-Tree Farm in the Flooded pasture where I caught a few two years ago along the electric fenceline Post yesterday. Today I had a Chain down to greet my arrival. The Catch. I had another Chain down under a NYS Route #3 Bridge on a brook that drains a Beaver and Muskrat Sanctuary where I was refused trapping permission. The Brook's Outlet, However, is on The property of a Big Local farm where I have done a lot of Nuisance Beaver and Coon removal during trapping season. The Beavers have just about completed a total eat-out of the available food supply at this sanctuary, and each spring the Two year old Beaver disperse down this creek into Black Pond WMA about a mile to the west. There's been No beaver dispersal down this brook yet this spring as the pond is still Ice-covered as we speak Apparently the Male muskrat are doing the same thing as this location has produced a Boar Rat three days running. The catch That dispersed from the Forbidden "Sanctuary". Thanks for looking. w

Walleyed,your getting rich,reminds me of SD.I took several motion pictures of those bait stealing fur balls. LMAO, Definitely NOT getting Rich, Ever. I hope to cover my gas over the next 13 days, but with so much Ice left up here and not many rats moving through open areas, It's just a way to get exercise. Phil, Load Brutus and your floats and get up here for the Gold Rush. You can team up with Passamonte. Unlike South Dakota, Non-Residents are welcome here. w
