I've been taking a few kings out of Oswego, check out my FB reports page. In 7 trips have landed 12 total out of Ozzzzzz

Yes the Triple Crown will be taking place for 2015, the websites are in over-haul mode but all the same rules are in place and all is a go TYVM for the continued interest Tom

The political aspect of the entire operation will always leave skepticism, sure they don't know all the answers and sure there may be better ways to do this or that. I become a bit more involved in the "bio-process" each year and learn more about whats going on the more I go out of my way to stay in touch (which is tough as their agenda doesn't seem to put into the social medias that many of us are into). But if we look we can in fact find out what the bio's are saying and doing. To believe them or not to is up to each of us to decipher. I have my opinions as many of us do, but to stay involved is in all of our best interest, especially those who depend on our fishery to sustain in life. I know one thing and nobody can legitimately make a b..t..h about it, from the 1980's I have chose to have an interest in this fishery (more so on the lake, but have had my stream side interests thru the years) but the decisions made by the bio's for the last 30 years have at minimum kept our fishery alive. I am sure various attitudes from anglers thru the countless decisions made for the last 30 years have differed from that of the state, gov't or bio's or etc. I have been fortunate enough to carry out my passions on this great lake with successes, successes that may not have been available if decisions made differed from what they were. In other words we are all still catching fish, mother nature plays a big role and is next to impossible to counter. I have faith in the decisions in play currently by the DEC and these decisions have put us where we are today. This is just another way to look at it, could it all crash tomorrow: Sure, same as it could have when other anglers felt wrong decisions were made. We have survived it all from evasives to variables that have crippled other fisheries. Its easy to complain or think there are better ways but there are Kings swimming around as I type just waiting to thrill us yet again !!! Tom

Hey guys, thanks for the compliments !!! I have been wanting to address a situation for a while now and its my web-site, hopefully this message gets around. I am in my 14th year of this business called A-TOM-MIK, its been a great ride and my goal is to carry on. My site needs updating and a new look at navigation badly and I will be addressing just that in the coming months. A new re-furbished site is in the works, a lot less SKU's and a more manageable look. The site brings in a fair amount of income for me (THANKS TO ALL FOR THE MANY YEARS OF FOLLOWING) so it is worthy of upgrading. Keeping product stocked is a chore, staying conscious of inventory never ends, and most anglers have never met a more "non inventory conscious" person than me. If the perch are in come fall or the sunfish come winter and god-forbid if there are any Kings hanging out in front of Oswego.... Cause I'm there.... and trust me when I say I realize its not fair to you all, but its my drug, and my addiction in naive. So..... as my business stands now as a whole I have people who do just about everything, 6 people total keeping my little kingdom afloat. The new site will be easy to have someone take care of and ship orders more promptly. This so you don't have to drop me an e mail or a text and say "Tom, get off your chit" I burned out my old web designer with all the custom items I had her adding monthly and changing things continually. I apologize up front for the many popular items I will be deleting as the percentage of profit points in this business are so staggering low it actually cost $$$ to stay in business selling some items. I plan on letting all those entities who are willing to work on rather low profits to have at it. Thanks again for the comments and I hope the new site rewards everyone with better shipping policies. Tom

Well, hopefully these meetings will see the best turn out ever, which will bring more input than ever, lots of armchair QB's (did I say that right?) The poke n hope method of hoping LO's biology will be where we all want it cant last forever. I for one feel fortunate that it has so far,or at minimum has has a sustaining impact. Either way these meetings should be mobbed with interest, overwhelm them with the fact we care. Instead of allowing a decline to progress in interest due to a general feeling of our presents doesn't help. See you there !!! Tom

It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you...... Old Man

Would like to thank you Rod for your past sponsorships of trophys, greatly appreciated for sure !!!!
