Hello everyone.  The Port of Rochester has a small derby!  I've been working with some very nice folks from the American Cancer Society.  This is a small derby but should be fun and is for an amazing cause.  

The ACS has asked for more prizes and would love to have a charter donated to use as a prize.  You can p.m. me if that is something you could do for them.

For you shore anglers, there may or may not be kings around the Summerville pier at this time (I'm hoping there will be).  I'm a teacher and will have volunteers lined up on the breakwall at Summerville between the O'llies and the Sheriff Station to help kids.

I will chumming the area for carp all week without fishing for them at different times of day to keep the carp interested and coming back for this event.  I got a 32 lber this week just across from there.

We can also have a side thing for big fish.

Let's try to participate in this event and offer them our support!  I've been meeting with the Town of Irondequoit and others to plan a bigger event for the Port of Rochester next year.  The ACS offers us a very nice umbrella to make that happen.

Please try to fish this event!  Captains are welcome to have clients sign up.  

Lastly, can we borrow someone's scale set up?  Any volunteers?   Captain Larry Hammond

Right on folks.  Thanks.  

Thanks folks.  I am lucky that a great friend of mine happens to live in Nantucket and has arranged to take me striper fishing and maybe a tuna trip.  I really want to try that canal from shore.  I saw how the current rips through there.  It may be a good lesson on jigging with heavy stuff.  I'm going to bring downrigger rods and 4000 size reels.  I leave on the 20th for a 3 day trip.  

Tight Lines!  Larry

I will go, thanks Les!

I was hoping there might be someone that knows the area and can put me on some fish either from shore or via boat.  

I will be there for a few days.  Can you suggest gear to bring, lures, terminal tackle etc.?  Thanks!  Captain Larry Hammond 

I just ordered some tape for paddles/ spoons from Carl.  I had questions and they were answered promptly and the ease of ordering was terrific.  I read the report from Pap and he was right.  Carl does a fine job!   I highly recommend Mad River Sports.

It's great to have him be "local" for us.  

The next shout out goes to Northport Nailers   http://northportnailer.com/   

If you haven't fished these for a few years, start!  They are great running spoons and the paint is outstanding and highly resistant to chipping and abuse.  I found that I can just call them and they send my spoons out right away.  These spoons are extremely speed friendly.  I know because I suck at speed control.  You can run them slow with meat and even cowbells.  They run great fast too.

Tell them you saw it on LOU if you order!  I'm trying to get them to distribute/advertise more to Lake Ontario.  Hat's off to Captain Mike Pastore who is the one who taught me the magic of the Northport Nailers among a million other things!

Tight Lines!  Captain Larry Hammond

Great job!  Larry

If you plan on fishing Oswego, consider going on a trip with Captain Rich Demong to start your vacation.   http://www.nyguideservice.com/about-us.html    

Fishing with Captain Rich aboard Seaduction is safe, amazing and invaluable.  I truly believe, and I bet most guys will agree, the money spent on a good charter is smart money considering what we spend on gas and TIME finding fish and figuring out what they want.  Going in on a charter with a few other guys cuts the cost dramatically.  This guy catches fish and is a lot of fun to fish with.  He will take the time to teach and explain the tactics that are working to ensure that when you go out on your own, you'll be set.  

Give Rich a call and tight lines!  Larry "Henrybud"

Chamberlains are a very cool release. You can reef down on them vertically but yet have them adjusted for even the lightest strike horizontally.

This is rare animal "footage"

It's a Larp. Lakers like corn too!

The bait just came in today (6/3/16). S and R has it, South Bay will today today. Thanks folks! Tight Lines. Larry

S and R Bait and Tackle and B-E Fishing do not have it yet. Weird. Anyone know where to find quality strips?

I believe this great deed is contagious.  The Genesee Charter Boat Association is going to plan something similar.  Great job!  I will post on how it goes. 

My 3rd graders had their first "Worm Olympics" last week.  We conducted experiments to see who can collect the most bait in 30 minutes.  The use of mild dish soap and dollar store bucket/shovels was deemed the most productive and fun. Mr. Hammond got free bait for the weekend too!

A few years back, when I had 6th graders, we started our own bait business.  The students called it "Ghetto Worms"'- "tougher than your average worm" and we collected, packaged and sold the worms to local shops to fund a trip to Sea Breeze.

Keep up the great job with your club.  Larry "Henrybud"

Nice Mike!

Outstanding stuff!  Those kids are our future and I love to see this happening more and more.  Keep up the great work.  

We marked some fish that were down 50 to 100 over 190' but that was as deep as we got over the weekend.  We couldn't get them to bite.  Lakers, lakers, lakers, on the bottom though

B and E Fishing Tackle had some.  Pat can order them for you.  585 265 0416.  Larry

I had the pleasure of being the observer for Captain Scott and his crew of fishing buddies.  These guys are great fisherman and I learned more in 6 hours than I have by many times that on the water myself.  

I'm a new captain myself.  I have a lot to learn and being an observer is the way to do it.  Thanks to the guys for a great trip!  Captain Rick, thanks for your advice and help too!

Here's some pictures.

Truly, Captain Larry Hammond

Outstanding idea!  

No cheaters on Cowbells.  It's a tangled mess.....trust me.........I know the hard way!  

Northport Nailers are excellent spoons that can be run off another rigger at cowbell's speed and will catch other species.  Their spoons are really great and hardly anyone runs them.

Very nice fish!!!!  That's a hog.  Congrats

Nice work!

Check to see if Moor is still in business.

When the water is muddy, worms are the best in my opinion.  There's a great article in Lake Ontario Outdoors.  http://www.lakeontariooutdoors.com/stories/news-story/steelhead-fishing-with-worms

Good writing and great advice in that article.  

For worms, the red worms are the best.  Off of piers in the lake, a fat night crawler fished under a bobber has taken my biggest ever steelhead.  

Good luck!
