This thread has been a very interesting read. The following link is another interesting perspective in a blog by Shane Thombs, an Ontario charter boat operator on the south shore. Shane has also been a long time member of the Lake Ontario FMZ20 advisory council. http://fintasticsportfishing.blogspot.ca/2016/08/in-march-various-newspapers-both.html Our views on the stocking cuts in Ontario maybe be a little different from our friends on the south shore because we have experienced a decline (crash) in the sports fisheries on Georgian Bay and Lake Huron.

Great job Chad, great to see the young lads get in on the action. Al

Good choice bud. Al

Really looking forward to the ATOMMIK Invitational tournament. Long trip across the Lake but Oswego is a great fishing town. Great people and anglers. Fantastic job Tom. 1st class. Al

Good job Rod, keep at it. Looks great !! Al

Tony, that weekend the best location is inside the gap to Prinyers Cove and maybe a little farther west even down to the little house on the north shore. I'll be out that weekend, give a shout on the radio - channel 16 or 71 Big Gene was right on with the baits we use then. Bring some 5 to 8 cores. Al

We have no problem with an increase in money. I agree with Rod, if the tournament is kings only then Friday should also be for chinook whether 1 big fish or a 3 fish box. We also like the one day format for the fact that I have about a 7 hours journey through Toronto traffic to get home. Congrats to the committee on a job well done this year. It was a very well run tournament. Later Al

Great report Rod, congrats on the 10th place finish. It definitly was a tough bite. Hopefully things will pick up in the next few weeks.. Later Al

We are pumped. Will be great to see everyone after that very long winter. Can't wait to get those new ATOMMIK rigs in the water. Al

I pulled it off Spoonpullers. KOTL website not done yet Yvan said next week. Al

Copied from another site. 1 - St Kitts - April - 29-30- May 1 2 - Whitby - June - 24-25-26 3- St Kitts - Sept - 2-3-4 In addition to this the overall King Of The Lake Champion will be determined by calculating the scores from 2 of the best scores in Ontario+ the score from the Wilson Invitational. If you fish all three you get an additional 10 points for showing up and you can pick the best 2 out of the three.

My first trip to the LOTSA event and definitly will not be my last. It was well worth the 4 hour drive. Big thanks to Captains Vince & Bob for the seminar on saturday. It was an excellent presentation and by far the best I have ever attended in over 30 years. It was non commecial and very well planned. Congrats. Also got some great deals at the tackle show and some valuable info on fishing spring browns. Thank you LOTSA, I'll be back. Al

Great job Mike. Hope to see you when you get up the next time. Al

Dynomite for steelhead in the summer. Al

Happy birthday Rod, Hope to see you in the spring. Al
