Good thing she was fishing and not out swimming.....

Hey Brad - Thanks! We were very excited about all the recent press that LOU has got in the D&C. Last Sunday we were the featured article in the back of the sports section and Thursday there was another article in the "weekender" part of the paper that talked more about our Tweets project. We are pretty excited about it and hope its early success continues through the rest of year. Thanks again for the kind words!

Hey Troutman, Had a bunch of people call me today to let me know of the article! Pretty exciting stuff for us. There was one article in Sunday's paper and another article today: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/app ... 0105130325 Thanks again to all the captains that have given the LO Tweets project such early success. Can't wait to see in full swing as the season progresses.

Haha - I'll be sure to pass along the message Vince! You listening Uncle? Now if we could just get some fish to slide down to the Rochester area... Thanks again everyone for all the well wishes! I was stunned to see 3 pages of responses and nearly 400 views for a birthday.... wowow! I guess I will have to keep the site up and running for another year See you on the water! Chad

Hahahaha You guys are too much - thank you ALL for the birthday wishes!

Awesome day out there Bill! I was loving it today at work watching your live tweets come as I got to sit at my office living vicariously through all the action going on out there Great report and pics as always!

Hey LOU, Just added an additional field to everyone's profile titled "Boat Name". Click below if you wish to fill that information in along with any other information to display in your profile: ucp.php?i=profile&mode=profile_info Cheers, Chad

Fishing enters new age with instant fishing reports via Twitter Article by Leo Roth - Democrat and Chronicle, May 9th 2010 Lake Ontario offers world-class fishing in our backyard Article by Leo Roth - Democrat and Chronicle, May 9th 2010 Special thanks to Leo for the great article and all his support over the years of the world class fishery here on Lake Ontario. This year is shaping up already to be a memorable one judging by the size of the fish in the Spring LOC.

Thanks for the report Paperman! You never really know what you might catch when your out there

I second that

Awesome video Dave! Very well done as always

Might try Alex Bay up in the 1000 islands... one of my favorite spots to go with the family every year

Welcome Mark/Brad. I have a great time going down to Sterling for the Renaissance Festival each year

Welcome aboard Keith! Glad to have you

Congrats Larry! That is great to hear How many participated in the event last year again? Refresh my memory...

Hey Lineguy, That is how the twitter page is suppose to work. Every time you see it flash, the system is checking for any new tweets posted by the captains. If there are new tweets at the time it checks (once every 30 seconds), then it will automatically post up there the new tweet. If there are no new tweets, then nothing will happen and it will check again 30 seconds later. Hope this helps. Enjoy! Chad

Wayne, I added the homeport information directly to each tweet as well. You can see this right under each of the main tweets. Hope this helps! Chad

Are you trolling Slimyfish? If so, I like 6" - 9" sledgehammers trolled on a flat line for getting in tight. They are floating lures but have a nice rounded face that pushes weeds aside easily. A good rattle with a mild side to side swimming action (nothing erratic). You could also run a leader (3-5 foot) up connected to a swivel that will help snag any weeds running down the line before they get to the lure. I can run the unweighted sledges between 1-3 deep. http://www.sledgehammerlure.com/nine_sledge.php

You have come to the right place Eric! Always good to see new guys getting into the sport. Sit back, relax and enjoy the site - lots of great guys here

Hey Wayne - I think that if you let your mouse hover over the captains images on each tweet it will give you a little more information about their HOME port. This might not be exactly where they are fishing that day, but that will be the case I would think more times than not. For example, Jerry (Rebel Charters) has the home port listed as "Sandy Creek". Other than when he is fishing tournaments around the lake, you can guess his location to be somewhere off of Sandy. Some captains willingly share exact GPS cords and some don't wish to disclose any location information. To each their own. Enjoy the Tweets! I can hardly sit here at work knowing what is going on live on the water right now...... Chad

Happy Birthday Rob! Power to the Pony Tail
