Rich, Good or tough (I never say bad because fishing is fishing and no guarantees), you tell it like it was ! Respect that a lot from you.. Save a few toad LT's for me this weekend at the Oak Orchard Open ! Great start to the tourney season BTW... Capt. Pete www.visionquestfishing.com See us on Facebook

Rich, VQ is in for both brackets. Thanks for organizing again. Pete VQ

Yank, Great start to the season and thanks for the report. That was a great avg. for 6 fish and the fish are definitely larger than last two springs (milder winter). I would have guessed all deep fish for you guys... Congrats. to all of the top 8 check earners. Saturday, we were just 2 for 4 on kings and 2 for 5 on coho bites. All of our king bites came deep 110-120 in 230-260 FOW. Coho bites top 50. Our best king day that week was 7 on Thursday but we fished a long day. Could not repeat it tho See you this weekend. Capt. Pete www.visionquestfishing.com See us on Face Book

News: FishUSA; located in Erie, PA, has assumed the 2016 KOTL "overall" sponsorship due to their acquisition of Great Lakes Tackleshop.com (the prior 3 years overall sponsor as well as sponsor to several other tournaments on Lake Ontario) FishUSA will assume the majority of GLT's wide range of salmon/trout products that it sold over the years. The GLTS webstore is still open for business until the official transition is made. Good News: I am looking forward to working with FishUSA in the salmon and trout field for the next few years. Some exciting things to happen in the near future from FishUSA. GLTS would like to thank all of our past customers and welcome new FishUSA customers. The KOTL web site has been edited to reflect the change: www.kotl.ca http://www.kotl.ca/index.html ENTRY REMINDER: Entry Deadline: April 1st, 2016 Late Entry Deadline: April 2nd-22nd. Add: $100.00 No Entries accepted after the 22nd. Capt. Pete www.visionquestfishing.com

Hijacker-PC, Does the One LT apply to the 10th only or the two day event also? Are there going to be any other rule changes? Thanks Capt. Pete www.visionquestfishing.com

Pete L., George and I are all very excited to be part of this year's Salmon School this month. We have the opportunity to meet new anglers, see some friends and talk fishing for a day in January. Good Stuff ! In 2013 I had the privilege of being part of the School along with another passionate "salmon head" from Oswego; A-TOM-MIK Tom Allen . It was a great experience for both of us and like many, I learned a few things from the whole experience. The best part besides being able to talk fishing for several hours was being engaged with anglers (new-young-old) in a variety of topics and techniques. This January, I have the chance to share the stage again with not one but two very good, dedicated and skilled Captains. See ya on the 23rd. Capt. Pete www.visionquestfishing.com

Greetings fellow anglers and tourney competitors: I am looking forward to seeing many of you guys again this January at the LOTSA salmon School in Niagara Falls, NY. George Freeman from Ludington, MI has a lot to say about meat fishing and what they are doing "over there" to grind out boxes when fishing is tough. He's an old salt but has a different approach to fishing and fishing meat ! I have had the pleasure of having a beer or two with him and "picking" his brain over what the MI boys do to "produce". Why? because none of us are to smart or to old to learn a new gig ! Many of you know "Prime Time" Pete Lahosky from O'Town (Oswego, NY) Maybe some do not? but if you fished the Niagara Pro AMs in the 2000's (it is likely he mopped you up like he did me). Pete I.M.O. is one of the best and stealthiest-tactical anglers on all of Lake Ontario. I won't say that about to many guys but this guy has earned the respect of many! My part is simple: To help dial you guys in to catching fish and catching kings! North or south shore, doesn't matter to me. Kings are Kings and they have some tendencies, weaknesses and can be caught when in the right neighborhood. It is not luck that guys can consistently catch fish or kings. Like many of you, I don't fish every day on Lake O but I love to fish this Lake and want to get better at my game. I have a real job, family and life things to deal with. Sound familiar? However, there are basic things we do and have learned to help us find and produce fish. That opportunity to hear it will be this January. Remember: None of us will ever know it all but knowing some things will make every one of you a better angler or tourney guy and may help you grind those two or three extra fish! All of the speakers at the 2016 Salmon School are excited about this years event and are excited about supporting LOTSA. Furthermore, clubs like LOTSA rely on memberships, support and your participation to be a voice for us. This event is another way to support them and your interest in The Lake Ontario fishery ! Looking forward to seeing you there. Captain Pete www.visionquestfishing.com On Saturday January 23rd the Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association (LOTSA) is once again hosting its Salmon School. This highly successful School, in its 9th year, boasts six hours of instruction taught by three expert Charter Captains; Pete Alex (Vision Quest-Port of Wilson, NY), Pete Lahosky (Prime Time-Port of Oswego, NY) and George Freeman (Free Style Charters-Port of Ludington, MI). These three Captains have very successful Charter businesses along with a proven tournament track record of high placement over many years. They are a much diversified set of instructors and will provide a class full of insights and details that no one single instructor would be able to provide. They are all skilled educators with significant experience giving Seminars over the years. Each brings their own unique set of skills and knowledge to the class. Given the depth of the knowledge base of these instructors and their proven ability to educate Anglers, we expect this School to be the most comprehensive, in depth, information packed event ever presented at the LOTSA Salmon School. for more information and to register for the School, please visit the LOTSA Website at www.lotsa.org
