  1. Pro-Am Deadline Dates:

    Niagara Pro-AM Update

    The all-important Niagara USA Captain’s Meeting (including observers) will be held Friday, June 3 at the Sunset Grill, 3 Oconnell Island, Wilson, NY 14172 (Phone 716-751-6868). Just like last year, the doors will open at 5 p.m. for captain/observer check-in. Because of limited space, only the captain (team leader) and observer should attend from each team. There will be some neat appetizers that will be available starting at 5:30 p.m. (again, one of the reasons for only captain and observer to attend). The actual meeting will start promptly at 6 p.m. This is a mandatory meeting, allowing us to review the rules and conduct the pairings for the observer swap. PLEASE show courtesy when the announcements are taking place and listen to the rules. Last year, we had disqualifications because some people didn’t listen, couldn’t hear or didn’t understand the rules. Pay attention! Thank you and good luck to all involved.

  2. The Captains meeting will be Friday, July 17th 6:30 pm sharp at the Sodus Point Fire Hall... On the right side of the road on the way down the hill to the Point. Can't miss it. Park across the street in the field.

    Weigh-ins and all the action will be at Abe's Waterfront under the tent. There will be a special parking area for Pro-Am teams, located at the north end of the Sodus Yacht Club parking lot. There will be two signs directing where to pull in. It's right off the main Street (Greig St) Almost directly across the street from Abes. Please use this area as Sodus Point doesn't have many places to park. What we want to do is keep the trucks and cars off the main drag. This is the same location as last year.

    Thanks

    See ya Friday

  4. Wayne and Oswego Counties are working on their tourneys for the final Pro-Am trail. As if we haven't been working the entire year!!!!!We are trying to add to the pot with additonal sponsors. Applications are on line at lakeontarioproam.com Just print them out and mail. I will be in Oswego for late sign-ups. If you are making a check out for Wayne, make sure they are made to Lake Ontario Charter Boat Association. (LOCBA)That was listed wrong in the original brochure. In Wayne County we are enlisting sponsorships to cut the overhead cost. The Tourism Office (me) is helping with many of the expenses.

    Teams can certainly help by buying our raffle tickets. I know it's a pain to come up with more bucks, however the money does go to pen rearing and other trout and salmon projects, and that's the best way to keep the fishery alive.

    I think the sponsorship from Brookfield Power states the whole concept of the Pro-Am Series. They are giving $1200 to each port. Six hundred goes in the prize structure and $600 goes to the pen-rearing projects in each of the four ports.

    See ya soon, and let's hope the gas prices plumment.

    Chris
