I presented the question, and it looks like you can only fish from the Oak for this series.

Starting with this Friday's Condor event we are bringing back the popular 3 fish tournaments. There will be 5 tournaments in all, and it will be called the King of the Oak Series. The other tournament days will be Saturday July 13, Saturday July 20, Saturday August 17 and the Series finale will be the Annual Johnny V Tournament on Sunday September 1. The rules are the same for all---sign up at Lake Breeze, Four C's, Captains Cove or Narby's with $100 cash ONLY, and then bring your best 3 fish to the weigh station at Lake Breeze by 3 PM. Payouts will be 30% of the field. After the final weigh in for the Johnny V we will have a picnic at the Lake breeze pavilion. Please bring a dish to pass. At this picnic we will also crown the 2013 KING OF THE OAK based on a cumulative score from all 5 events. Tournament Dates Recap: June 7th July 13th July 20th August 17 September 1st

I think you owe Rob some love for showing you where the fish were and how to catch them! I also hope your putting up the money to fish the Pro-Am and not the Open division this weekend. They shouldn't allow people who hold Captains Licenses and run charters in that division! Oh, by the way congrats on winning Saturday buddy!

Even in a big boat the big stuff isn't fun!

I tweeted a picture of the score sheet. It wasn't great, but you can blow it up and figure it our.

Thanks guys! I'll get a report up after this weekends event. Dick Dennie and crew did a great job! I think they were the only team to box out on both days! Heck of an accomplishment during some tough fishing conditions.

OK, I take it they are semi-local?

Our team pays $75/day. PM me if your interested.

Nice report!

I tried reaching you on Channel 16 Skipper. I saw you and was curious if you were doing them. We fished every afternoon this weekend, and it was decent. Sunday morning was a slaughter!

We weren't planning on running any trips this weekend, but we made an exception, and boy are we glad we did! We met this nice family from Colorado, and they had been on numerous charters all over the US. Most of those taking place in saltwater. These charters have gone so bad for them that they didn't bother bringing a cooler for any fish to take home! We left the dock around 5:30 and headed out to a lumpy Lake Ontario. We set down in 130’ pointed her North into the waves and set rods. Fish were coming fast, but given the rough waters holding onto them was a challenge. A nice mix of King Salmon and Coho Salmon. Our big guy of the day hit a 400 copper pulling a Green Smartfish/A-TOM-MIK Green Crinkle. I believe each person on the trip took two turns bringing that fish to the boat. Other good lures today was the Dreamweaver Sea Sick Waddler down 60’, and the new Dreamweaver DUV Lemon Ice SS on a free slider. We worked the waters right out front from 150-300 on N/S trolls. Lady O picked up as the day went on, but we were fortunate enough to get our limit early and be back for lunch so we didn't get pounded any more. Needless to say, these guys had to go into town and look for a cooler so they could bring their catch back home with them!

Let's hope it's not the case, but it is that time of year where the fishing goes to crap for a few weeks. Usually it starts the week of the Niagara Pro Am. Time will tell. However, you can't catch much from the couch, so anytime on the water is better than listening to the 'ol lady or working.

Thank you from the Yankee Boyz for everything all veterans, and current active military personal, have done for this country!
