LOTSA 2024 Salmon School Tickets on sale now at https://niagarafishingexpo.com/lotsa-salmon-school/ The Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association (LOTSA) is proud to host its in-depth Salmon School on Saturday, February 17, 2024. This highly acclaimed school, now in its 14th year, has become the premier Salmon School anywhere in the Great Lakes. What started out as a local event now attracts many experienced salmon anglers from around the Great Lakes and Canada. This intense school is hosted during the Greater Niagara Fishing Expo, February 15-18, 2024, at the Niagara Falls Convention Center in downtown Niagara Falls, NY. The 2024 LOTSA Salmon School instructors have been selected and include Capt. Pete Alex (Lake Ontario west end and north shore), Capt. Rob Westcott (Lake Ontario central & west ends), and Capt. Casey Prisco (Lake Ontario east & west ends). They have countless hours of on-the-water experience trolling for trout and salmon, along with a proven track record of high placement in the most prestigious fishing tournaments over the years. The LOTSA Salmon School is customized every year based on input and discussion from the previous year’s event. Each instructor will provide a thorough analysis into the specific tools and techniques they utilize to successfully chase Kings. The focus will be on the three main Lake Ontario Salmon fishing periods (May, July, and August), and dive into the more technical aspects for each of these months relating to location, the ideal water, deep-water king tactics, locating and catching offshore kings, meat fishing bait, and more. The instruction will also include some detailed video footage to assist with the learning process.

Lets get this thread started!!! The 2023 season is just around the corner. As always I'm looking forward to returning back into the deer woods. Lets see some of those trail cam pics! Last season's gun buck story as posted in the 2022 thread November 19 am 28 degrees SW wind 10-15 mph Cloudy Opening day gun season Well my archery season wasn't what I had hope for. Damn work got in the way of hunting. The last two days I was hesitant of hunting because of the wind. A steady light wind works for where I wanted to be but not a heavy gusty wind so I stayed out. And I'm glad I did. I got in stand about 610 or so and slowly got settled in with hundred layers. Before I even got my jacket on I had a buck sneak past me about 30 yards. It was too dark to tell which buck it was but of course I was convinced it was one of my target bucks. Ill admit... it screwed with my head a bit. Gun shots started ringing out about 639ish from every direction. Then about 715 I noticed movement cutting down the same spot cruising bucks have been using for 2 weeks. Things happen fast. It doesn't take long to realize he's a shooter. I stand turn to my right. Rest the gun on the tree. The deer just happens to stop at 30 yards and I pull the trigger. He dropped in his tracks but I got hit high. 9x scope at 30 yards I guess I should have held down on him. I had to finish him off with a second shot. If only the guy shooting was as good as the gun. [emoji38]. To my surprise i have no history with this deer. Big thick wide 9pt with split g2. I'll be patiently waiting on the late season to start!

8/20 Sandy creek Hamlin
Legacy replied to tenatureboy's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
When we have a wind episode like that (east or a west) the fish seek stable water offshore. East wind earlier in the week piled the warm water into the western basin and the canadian south shore. A few days later that pounding west wind blew it all onto the US south shore giving us an extreme amount of warm water. 165-180 of cable to reach upper 40s all the way out to the 28.5 n line. Kinda crazy. Fish and bait want stable water so the offshore fishery is a no brainer on days like this. We fished 30-35 N on Sunday and had an insane amount of King bites out there. -
Yes all good. Good luck!

Rochester wind tomorrow

-2023 Sandy Creek Shootout-
Legacy replied to Legacy's topic in Tournament Talk, Shows, Events & Seminars
Announcement... We have extended our registration until Friday evening! There has been a lot of questions regarding Saturday's weather. As most of you know our event seems to attract the worst mother nature has to offer almost every year. As per our tournament rules we will not leave the dock under a small craft warning. If a small craft warning is issued the tournament will be moved to Sunday. Spread the word! -

The probe rigger is always the first in for me and it is always my deepest rigger. It helps me find speed, current, temp all while dropping other things in the water. Once we get settled in we may make adjustments from there.
