April LOTSA Meeting and Seminar

[Tim Bromund]

On Thursday April 12th at 7pm the Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association (LOTSA) will be sponsoring a seminar on Trout & Salmon Fishing from Wilson Harbor. Captain Mike Johannes has many years of experience fishing out of Wilson, which he will share in this seminar. The timing of this seminar is excellent as the area between Wilson and the Niagara Bar without a doubt is the best area in the Great Lakes to catch King Salmon in the spring.

LOTSA is a group of mainly weekend recreational fishermen who are dedicated to the enhancement of the Lake Ontario Sport-Fishery including the pen rearing project at Olcott. Each meeting also features a sharing of information the current fishing conditions. So come join us and become more successful at fishing Lake Ontario!

The seminar will be held at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, 4487 Lake Avenue (Route 78 two miles north of Lockport), Lockport, NY 14094. The seminar is open to the public with a $5 charge for non-members. Call 636-0519 with any questions.

Just a quick report on the LOTSA Seminar last night given by Capt. Mike Johannes.

Topics covered: Current and wind effect on fish staging, effect of river water ploom, start of day depth of water, lure selection, lure set settup, lure size and colors.

Mike fishes out of Wilson. His boat's name is On The Rocks. He mentioned that he monitors Channel 19 and does not mind if he is contacted on the water. He seemed to be very willing to share information.

See you all at the West end!
