That's a great picture

A great resource for the the "golden bonefish" is https://www.youtube.com/user/catfishandcarp This guy is the best!!! I've reached out to him from his website and he responds quick to help with questions. I get all my gear from www.bigcarptackle.com They are prompt and have the best stuff. I highly recommend the delkim alarms!!! I've caught many more fish using these over the other "roller" detection. These alarms have a little ceramic "v" that will not be set off by current or wind, only takes and even draw back bites. This week's hottest bait has been a basic cornmeal dough ball with a little bit of hazelnut coffee creamer added. They hit that more than the anise or straight up dough. Corn was second. Tight Lines!

I love this!!!! They are my favorite fish to go after and I am proud to admit it. I love the prep, the gear and the methods used. Half the fun is making the bait. Rochester is hosting it's first derby where carp are one of the main targets on September 10th. Lure For A Cure. I have prizes from FishUSA, Northport Nailer, and many others. Look under the tournaments for more details.

The Lure For A Cure derby is a go. We have been supported by FIshUSA, Northport Nailers, LOC Derbies and much more. Please pass this on to friends, family etc. I love carp fishing and got a nice 32 lber last week. There will be kings accessible off the pier too. I've been chumming the spot for days. I will also be bringing students down. We have volunteers to help teach beginners. Who's in???? This event can showcase our awesome harbor!!! Let's put Rochester on the map folks. Everyone talks about wanting a derby here. This small derby can grow and we have The American Cancer Society wanting us to do this. The town of Irondequoit wants us to do this!!!! Please let me know if you're interested. It's for a charity and you can win stuff. If you have suggestions, let me know them. I know it's last minute, but that's just how it came about!!!!

Wow! Thanks Sarah and LOC Derbies! I will email you right away. Larry

Hello all. Eric Carlson just contacted me about the derby. He is going to extend weigh in times for afternoon charters. Please try to attend this charity event and fish. Let's get a lot of kids lined up on the break wall at Summerville. Captains, sign up your guests to win a prize and some cash. Capt. Larry

Hello everyone. The Port of Rochester has a small derby! I've been working with some very nice folks from the American Cancer Society. This is a small derby but should be fun and is for an amazing cause. The ACS has asked for more prizes and would love to have a charter donated to use as a prize. You can p.m. me if that is something you could do for them. For you shore anglers, there may or may not be kings around the Summerville pier at this time (I'm hoping there will be). I'm a teacher and will have volunteers lined up on the breakwall at Summerville between the O'llies and the Sheriff Station to help kids. I will chumming the area for carp all week without fishing for them at different times of day to keep the carp interested and coming back for this event. I got a 32 lber this week just across from there. We can also have a side thing for big fish. Let's try to participate in this event and offer them our support! I've been meeting with the Town of Irondequoit and others to plan a bigger event for the Port of Rochester next year. The ACS offers us a very nice umbrella to make that happen. Please try to fish this event! Captains are welcome to have clients sign up. Lastly, can we borrow someone's scale set up? Any volunteers? Captain Larry Hammond Lure For A Cure.pdf

Right on folks. Thanks.

Thanks folks. I am lucky that a great friend of mine happens to live in Nantucket and has arranged to take me striper fishing and maybe a tuna trip. I really want to try that canal from shore. I saw how the current rips through there. It may be a good lesson on jigging with heavy stuff. I'm going to bring downrigger rods and 4000 size reels. I leave on the 20th for a 3 day trip. Tight Lines! Larry

I will go, thanks Les!

I was hoping there might be someone that knows the area and can put me on some fish either from shore or via boat. I will be there for a few days. Can you suggest gear to bring, lures, terminal tackle etc.? Thanks! Captain Larry Hammond

I just ordered some tape for paddles/ spoons from Carl. I had questions and they were answered promptly and the ease of ordering was terrific. I read the report from Pap and he was right. Carl does a fine job! I highly recommend Mad River Sports. http://stores.ebay.com/Mad-River-Custom-Fishing-Tackle It's great to have him be "local" for us. The next shout out goes to Northport Nailers http://northportnailer.com/ If you haven't fished these for a few years, start! They are great running spoons and the paint is outstanding and highly resistant to chipping and abuse. I found that I can just call them and they send my spoons out right away. These spoons are extremely speed friendly. I know because I suck at speed control. You can run them slow with meat and even cowbells. They run great fast too. Tell them you saw it on LOU if you order! I'm trying to get them to distribute/advertise more to Lake Ontario. Hat's off to Captain Mike Pastore who is the one who taught me the magic of the Northport Nailers among a million other things! Tight Lines! Captain Larry Hammond

Great job! Larry

This is rare animal "footage"

It's a Larp. Lakers like corn too!
