Niagara Pro Am - Where can I get a slip and hotel?

[stoutner]

Finally firming up my Niagara Pro Am plans and need to know where I can get a slip for the weekend and also suggestions for reasonable motel/hotel in the area. I would probably prefer to fish out of Olcott. Doesn't look like the marinas in Olcott and Wilson are very big???? Will they have slips....or is it too late to reserve?

There is already 2 boats in olcott named balls deep. Call the marina and see if they have any transient slips left.

Gotta love the Lake O guys. Can't even get advise about logistics let alone speeds, depths, colors, etc...

You have the internet....

3 minute search and I did YOUR HOMEWORK for you....

Newfane Marina (716) 778-5462

McDonough Marine (716) 778-7665

Wilson Boatyard (716) 751-9202

Sunset Bay Marina (716) 751-6466

Harbor Resort (716) 778-5190

Lighthouse Motel (716) 778-7270

Lake Ontario Motel 1-800-446-5767

Lakeview Motel (716) 791-8668

That should get you started? or should I call and make reservations for you also?

Once there and fishing, go 17 miles west and fish BIG DROPOFF , use green spoons, some days purple, put them down 50-80 feet, troll 2.1-3.0 mph....

Best of luck to you in the Pro-am.

Go easy on stoutner ,he ant the britest bulb in the box and thats pretty bad in these new days of florescent bulbs....doing open?

[stoutner]

Thanks...

My fault for phrasing the question entirely wrong. I wasn't "looking for a motel" but instead was looking for a few recommendations. I wasn't concerned too much about finding a motel. I know how to use Google. My other question was meant to ask if the slips "sell out".

In either case thanks for the info...except you Buffy

[Capt Vince Pierleoni]

Yes, the Newfane marina slips sell out for Pro-Am. They will take phone reservations I believe. Otherwise the overflow goes to McDonoughs or Hedleys. The sooner the better.

[stoutner]

Thanks Vince. That was what I was looking for.

Ray, We are fishing the open out West and probably Proam in Sodus and Oswego. How about you?
