Congrats to Maine Endwell, just incredible. Cool Pap that your girls compete at a high level. I have three kids in college this year and all three are playing sports. No wonder I hardly ever get to fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

The "channel " moves, and has minimal temporary markers. Can't remember an August when you couldn't walk across it without getting your butt wet. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I live on the bay and keep a 15 foot boat docked there. The mouth of the bay has always been sketchy, and it always will be. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

With twenty kings on the board, one over 33, 10 over 30 and 10 Browns including a 15, the fishing isn't that bad. History doesn't lie. Most good kings come in less than 200 feet of water in the fall LOC. Most are caught on spinny/dodger fly/cut bait. Temp and bait become less important. Given the chance pound it out inside.

LOC Summer Derby!

Love to see it change. Dave (and now Sarah) has done a great job with the derby. Other contests have come and gone (still waiting for a check for a thousand from the thousand dollar a day derby circa 2003) but I have to think that one change would greatly increase ticket sales.

Never understood why you couldn't weigh the fish in the following day by a reasonable pre set time. The last hour of daylight is some of the best time to be out. A fish caught at 8am can be weighed in at 8pm but a fish caught at 8pm cant be weighed in at 8am. I don't get the logic. LOC is a great event, my family has enjoyed great success and excitement fishing the derby over the years. Would love to see that one rule change. -

unless you get to a weigh station before they close on the day you catch your fish it doesn't count -

LOC Summer Derby Winners!

Its actually a good thing. Back in the day youth was separate from the other divisions. Theoretically you could catch a grand prize fish and cash zero. In 01 my son won youth bow. No cash but if it was an adult fish would have cashed. Wasn't a big deal, wouldn't have been top 5. Pic of him I have at the ceremony with Patsy Destaffen from NK is awesome.

Of the ten fish in the dead animal room, six different taxidermists. Some are definitely better than others. Take good pics and share them with your taxidermist. Think about how you want your fish posed. Also discuss how long it will take to complete. I brought a big bow my then 6 year old caught only to get it back when he was almost 9. Good conversation will hopefully avoid disappointment. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Just had a pretty red coyote in the backyard food plot. Wife saw a big gray the other night. As much as I look forward to bow season I can't wait to seeing some fur fly!!!! Killed a dozen (ish) yotes last year and I bet we get as many this year. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

And to think 30 years ago a radio direction finder was the high tech gadget. Loran C and VHF were soon to follow. Next thing you know graphs were paperless...... How many here remember and miss the smell of a paper graph. Good news is I still run a lot of the spoons from those days and they still produce.

Really cool.
