  1. It's news to my ears. Was there really violators on the no communication rule during the Oswego and Sodus Pro Ams? The blurb in the picture was written by Bill Hilts recently. I hope it's not true, but would like to hear from the tourney organizers. Sent from my Droid Maxx using the Lake Ontario United App.
  2. 41#'s on a calibrated scale? I know two were caught on the North shore this year on a calibrated scale over 40lbs, so there is no doubt they are out there. Especially with the amount of food out there. Not for nothing, but if I caught a 41lb Salmon the last thing I'd be saying is "Sorry for the bad picture." Congrats!
  3. I started doing this on some of our cores, and I think I'm gonna do it for the rest of them this off-season.
  4. Willis Knot is a great knot for core to leader. For backing to core I prefer the Albright.
  5. Tuna Toms Tourney drags are very good!
  6. If you want to make a 20 minute drive head West down Rt18 to Bandanas! Great food! Otherwise, head south on Rt 78 (I think) to Cafora's.

  8. Quite possibly the last Salmon to hit the floor of the yank for 2013. Thank you to everyone who fished with us. http://t.co/APqdOXHBJs

  9. I guess I can't get anything passed you! Your right....it is the blue LED lights doing it, but the post was made to be funny.
  10. Finally figured out how to catch one! What an amazing fish! Sent from my Droid Maxx using the Lake Ontario United App.
  11. Looks like a chinook, but the picture is bad.
  12. We had a great season on Salmon, but we also fish where the Salmon live most of the Spring and Summer. One thing to take into consideration for this past season was the amount of wind we had. It seemed like it never stopped! It would come from one direction one day, and then swing around and blow from the other. Our "inside water" at the Oak never set up. We fished 25N-32N all of July and August. It was the most stable water! There probably are other factors, but I'm blaming Mother Nature!
  13. Congrats Glen! Hanks a good dude! Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. It's not new....The finned flasher is called a Pro Chip, and the one without is a Hot Chip.
  15. Not a problem Chris! I enjoy writing them, and our clients enjoy seeing themselves on the net! Next season can't come soon enough....until then expect cabin fever to kick in and guys 'tudes on the net to fly off the rocker every once and a while.
  16. I disagree Bri....The East end of the Lake tore them up this spring due to a lack of Kings and clear water, which made the BT fishing tough. It's all they had! Not to mention you still have guys in the middle of the Lake who would rather set-up on those things rather than using them as a last resort. They still take a HUGE beating! Then there is this guy named Brian Gamble. This kid goes out and power fishes them FOR FUN!!!!
  17. Have a good Winter and we'll see ya next season!
  18. Photo: August 6th - We headed out and had to weave through the boats doing harbor patrol. Too many for our... http://t.co/b0WlEpGUxu

  19. Oops! Sry guys.... I see it now. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. One date was off.....We fished this past Thursday and Saturday. I don't get it bud....I remember fishing right into October as a kid.....
  21. September 5th - Fishing was tough today! We had a group of six out for a Bachelor party. We ended the day going 3 for 6. We were able to put two small Salmon in the boat and a Steelie. Fishing has rally come to a halt out on the big pond! September 7th - We headed out and had to weave through the boats doing harbor patrol. Too many for our liking, so we motored out to 100’ of water and set lines. The picture was amazing, but we never turned a rod, and as the sun came up the fish sunk to the bottom. We pointed the boat North and trolled out to the 26N line, and still not a rod moved. There was so much bait out there it’s no wonder the fish weren’t eating. We told our guys at 8am we were going to cut the trip short and finish at 10am because it wasn’t worth the effort. Talking with captains all over the lake it seemed the whole lake was shut down. Anyway, we pointed her South and got back into the 130’ range around 9:45, and the picture looked good so we leveled out. No sooner did we do that and our 300’ diver takes off with a Marv’s Big Fatty Stinger E-Chip/A-TOM-MIK Glow Blue Hijacker. We put that gal in the boat, and no sooner our 130’ Cannon downrigger fires and it’s on! This fish fell for a Stinger 2 Face E-Chip/A-TOM-MIK Glow Hammer. We stuck to the plan, and headed in with a happy crew under the tough conditions. They understood how tough it was out there, and were willing to give it a go in 2014 when the Lake is back on fire!
  22. There are a lot of charter operations out there that lack class, common sense, and fishing ability. However, don't hate on the whole fleet.
