First trip the guys decided to show up at the boat at 7 instead of 5 So I went Brown trout fishing for there 4hour trip we managed to put 5 in the boat. The browns were all very high in the water. 30ft mono divers were the ticket they were probably fishing around 14ft down. Super Slims were the bait of choice. We worked about 45 ft of water east of the harbor. The BTs were high in the water column all weekend. Saturday afternoon- Good customers of mine so I wanted to try for some salmon. Got a few decent reports of a few being caught west of the harbor. So we set our sights for 250ft of water about 8 miles to the west. I set down on a vapor screen...Nice call Capt... So I set the autopilot on a northwest troll. We got to 387 and the diver takes off. Lesson one for the day "DONT SET THE HOOK ON THE DIVERS"!! The picture there was ok but not what I was looking for so we kept trolling. 435 the same diver takes off again.. AND AGAIN WE TRY AND SET THE HOOK Ok so after we had fishing lessons again we are still on a Northwest troll got to 622 and all heck broke lose we doubled diver and core take off ok we got 1 out of 2 well its a start. After that we did well catching steelhead and kings for the next 2.5 hours until we got there limit. All range of age class kings from 5lbs to 27lbs and a bunch of steelhead in the 4 to 9lb class. Our stud was the Blood Run wire out 180 and 220. And 300ft Blood Run Coppers pulling Chrome chips with B flys. Hot spoons were Warrior green dolphins on the riggers down 30. Kings are there they just higher in the water column then we are used to. The temp would break over at 37 ft. When I turned for home I was 16 miles northwest of Oswego. Good Luck to all fishing the last week of the derby. I am off to British Columbia to the Campbell River for some salmon fishing.

I stripped all mine off and threw it in the trash. 2 sharks and 2 probes to the bottom of the lake was enough. If you are running it on the new HP scottys beware.

I will take Lot 4. Will you be around sunday?

I love my 585! I dont really see the new 587 as a huge step up. You maybe able to get a 585 on close out at a great price.

Big Thanks to Bob Cinelli for a GREAT SEMINAR last evening! Lots of info on catching Steelhead and very interesting on his take between both ends of the lake when it comes to catching them.

http://www.history.com/shows/great-lake ... rs_Content Looks like it may be pretty good.

Please join us Wednesday Night at 7 pm at the Mexico VFW for our monthly meeting and seminar! The VFW is on rte 3 headed north out of town. There is large helicopter in the parking lot. The meeting is under the pavillion. This months seminar is by Bob Cinelli of Bob Cinelli's Sportfishing he wil be talking to us about locating and targeting Offshore steelhead. Bob runs out of Olcott NY and has been in the business for 25 plus years this should be VERY interesting!!! See you all then. Brian

No, only 27 that were in the Pro-Am. One had to drop out. The Oswego Pro-Am was fun but the odds were stacked in favor of the the teams with the big fast boats. On Saturday many of them raced off to fish in front of Sodus and they got their 12 fish limit and raced back. The smaller and slower boats could not make that trip and as a result they ended in the bottom field. Sunday was hard for everybody,but again the teams with the most advanced electronics could go searching for fish at a relatively high speed. Yes, participation was fun,but I got away with the feeling this new setup is stacked against the weekend warriors. Noting that only 28 teams signed up, shows that a lot of last year's participants voted with their feet. It is also interesting that a few weeks ago we got an e-mail informing us about the price money based on forty participating teams,while never mentioning the actual number of participants at the time. I think that next year we will also vote with our feet. There was not one limit of kings brought to the scale so that is false. There also were maybe one or 2 teams that went to Sodus and did not get the job done. The bite in Sodus was to unpredictable. It was an offshore bite. Weekend warriors did very well cashing checks. Yankee One and Finders Keepers just to name a few. Also my $128.00 thru hull transducer works very well marking fish while running 27 mph... As far as the email it did not state that there was 40 boats it was showing you what the potential was. There is a lot more here then meets the eye and I am sure going forward there will be some discussion but all in all it was a FUN tournament by all and well run, so my hats off to Dave Turner and Oswego County for putting on a great tourney once again and if you missed it, well your loss.

Nice job! It was Good fishing in the Eastern basin over the weekend! The steelhead limit in the lake is part of your salmon and trout limit. Only in the tribs is one. Took this from the regs for you. "3 in any combination not to include more than 1 rainbow trout (or steelhead) in the tributaries" I could have waited till after you fished the A TOM MIK Challenge this weekend...

TTT just a heads up guys also cant return into the harbor until after 11..

Thanks for your effort Rick!

I still haven't seen the data that says they will raise the water 18in. They are raising it to "mean" water depth earlier and later. There is a tremendous amount of inaccurate data floating around on this issue. You need to look at the entire chart Longline posted not just a yr or 2. [ Post made via Android ]

They're talking 2 1/2" higher in April and 2" higher in October, nowhere near 18" overall level. The water level is still regulated. It's not going back to the unregulated era. We had a presentation at our ELOSTA meeting recently and that 2.5 in of water is what Save the River is saying. Can anybody find it in writing about the 18in increase. That is one of the reasons I posted this question in the thread as I am trying to educate myself on this.

Does anybody have a link to the actual proposal? Thanks

Please correct me if I am wrong because i am just looking at this the last week or so but all BV7 does is keep the water at its normal level earlier and a bit later in the season. Which to me means a longer boating season. So for instance the water will come up a little earlier and stay up a little longer. It by no means increases the level over "normal levels". Save the River is all for this plan but organizations like Save Sodus is against it. Please explain your position. Like I said I am trying to educate myself on this issue not start a war. Simply "fact" finding is all.

Same, made 2 claims with them last year and I was very happy!
