Paul, Thanks for chiming in and clarifying the payouts from the last weekend. Jeff

Outcast, The payouts change from event to event some because the number of teams changes. We took 6th place at the Niagara event it was worth about $1000.00 in cash and prizes. Maybe someone involved more in the tournaments will chime in here and give you a better answer. The entry fee for AM teams is $265.00 and $105.00 for the challenge cup. Hopes this helps a little. Jeff

The legal size for the DEC is 21 inches. The tournament gives the captain a 1/2 for shrinkage. If it is over 21.5 you must keep it as there is no culling. If it is between 21 and 21.5 it is the captain's disgression to keep it or not. Jeff

Congrat again Glen. See you next week. Jeff Lucky Enuff

Good luck to all and have a great time. Be up Friday before the Captain's meeting. Can't wait to get back on the water. Jeff

Ray, Couldn't agree with the guys above more!!! What a great story. Brought tears to my eyes!! That towel wasn't really that bad. Probably a good thing that you burned it though Rod. Hope the rest of your fishing trips are as much fun. Jeff

Couldn't agree more with the people above. Heck of a port, awesome tournament, and the Salmon Slam was great. Look forward to doing again next year. Hopefully the weather will be a little better. Thanks to all who were involved in all the events!!!! Jeff

Rodney, Melissa, and Bob, Thanks so much for a terrific weekend!!! Matt and I had a great time with you guys and look forward to doing it again some time. Rodney, I appreciate your compliments and send them right back at you!! Can't wait for the ProAms. Jeff & Matt

RR Thanks for the info. I'm going to wait and see what happens this weekend, if anything, and proceed from there. Hopefully nothing comes from this. Good luck to all who are fishing this weekend and next week. Jeff

Good luck and have a great time. Word of caution though, you will be hooked for life!!! Jeff

I agree completly with what Paul said. The ProAms are and awesome time and experience. Highly recommend them!!! Jeff

Hope that doesn't mean another sudden stop in the tub!!! HaHa1 Can't wait for May to get here. Gettin the itch real bad. Jeff

Rick, Hope it was a good one. Happy B Day. Jeff

There is a listing on glangler website under the swap meet that might work out for you. Jeff

This is a sad day for all of us that fish on lake O. Joe and Shirley are a wealth of information for all of us that live far from the Oak. My deepest sympathy to Shirley and the rest of the family and all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Heres hoping that the fishing is as good in heaven as at the Oak. Jeff

Thanks Joe and Shirley for your wonderful site. I look at it all the time here in Erie and can't wait for summer to come so we can come up and fish. The oak is a great port and has some great fishing too !!! Thanks again. Jeff

Melissa, Happy Birthday. Hope it was a good one. See you in the spring. Jeff

Happy birthday guys. Hope it is a good one. Jeff

Tom, Happy birthday!!!! All down hill from here See you in the spring. Jeff

I have sent 2 messages from the contacts section of the kingofthelake page and have not gotten a response. Does anyone else know of another way to get in contact with Yvan and get entered? Thanks in advance. Jeff

I like to run a flasher fly combo when running copper. Jeff

STEELERS all the way Jeff

Chowder, I think Bill is talking about using big boards. We have not had any problems ruuning copper off the big boards. I agree with most above and recommend getting a 600' set up and marking every 50 or 100 feet. You can run whatever length you want and don't need as many setups. Jeff

Thanks Rod they sure do bring back some great memories. Won't be long and all of us will be at it again. Jeff

Rick, Awesome. We all need to be reminded every so often. Thanks, Jeff
