    The fish are coming this Friday at 11:00AM, but the DEC crew normally shows up around a half an hour early so if you can make it and want to experience the fish arriving try to be there by 10:30AM or even a little earlier. At the worst we can shoot the breeze for a bit. Also, we are purchasing a high grade food for one of the pens to see if there is any significant difference in the growth of the fish. Hope to see you Friday.

    Fair haven fish scheduled to come this Friday. We received notice from Scott Prindle that the FH fish are scheduled to arrive this Friday. Werner secured the wheels and Scott of Bayside Marina is helping Werner get them in their dock spaces supplied by Bayside Marina and Turtle Cove Resort and Restaurant. The exact time has not been given yet, but it is usually in the morning. A big thank you to Bayside Marina (Scott) and Turtle Cove (Brian) and their families for supporting this effort. When we are told what time they are expecting to arrive in FH it will be posted. Thank You

    Thank you to everyone who was able to make it or made an attempt to make it to the "work day" for the net pen project. Fortunately the pens were in much better shape than we had anticipated, net-wise, and with the hands available the nets were firmly secured and we should not lose any of the little guys. The wheels are on and just need to be secured (don't quite fit, but with Werner's ingenuity they will be secure before the fish arrive. The fish should be coming around the second or third full week of April and with the weather more than likely the second (it is water temperature dependent so that they do not get shocked). We will post as soon as any of us receive word (it may be short notice - as little as a few days but usually almost a week). We also had a short meeting as is normal after the pen work is done - going over the state of the lake information, pen project information, expenses, and balance. Thanks again and it was fun catching up with familiar and new faces alike.

    Fair Haven Net Pen Work Day If there is anyone available to help out on the net pens - we will be having a work day on Saturday, April 1st at 1:00 on the northern side of the Bayside Marina property where the net pens are stored. Please bring an upbeat attitude and wire snips. We need to replace up to six wheels and have over 1,000zipp ties available to help secure the nets. Right now the weather looks a bit damp fr Fair haven, but it is still seven days out. This will be a rain or shine even and any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Phil of the Fair Haven Fishing Association

    Awesome time seeing many familiar faces and meeting some new Lake Ontario fishermen. Of course the buying and selling was fun as well. Thank you to everyone who made this possible and to the captains who not only gave up their time to answer every question asked but gave information freely that was gained through many years on the water.

    Combat Wounded Veterans will be fishing with local captains on this day. Any information would be greatly appreciated to try to get additional fish on the rods for these servicemen and women. All captains will be monitoring channel 72 and will have the veterans on the water from 6 - noon. More detailed information can be found on the open discussion page. Thank you in advance.

    Fair Haven will be hosting Wounded Warriors on June 17th and 18th out of Anchor Resort and Marina. It is run through the All Aboard Fair Haven Fishing Association. This year Fair Haven is anticipating 24 combat wounded veterans to participate. The veterans coming this year will arrive Friday evening and be escorted through town at 6:00PM in honor of their service to the American Legion for a family style dinner. Local businesses are playing a big part in this effort with donated facilities, rooms, and cabins for them to stay in and helping to supply meals throughout the event. Turtle Cove is hosting the captains' dinner for the captains of the boats to plan for the next day and share information to help ensure success for all involved. Friday evening the veterans are able to wet a line, cook marshmallows, and relax at Anchor until they retire for the night. On Saturday they are greeted by the captains prior to 5:30 and depart for a day on the water by 6:00AM to try to hook a "big" one. Breakfast is donated by local establishments and some of Fair Havens home bakeries (like grandma used to make). Upon returning to Anchor they are thanked for all they have done and given in service to the country and protection of our freedoms here at home as well as treated to a pig roast and picnic. We need your help / what you can do. If you will be in Fair Haven Friday evening try to make it to the parade through town on Main Street to show support for these soldiers. If you are going to be fishing out of FH on Saturday you can be a real asset tot he success of the day for these folks and help put additional fish on the lines by sharing any information that is giving you success that day. If you happen to get a program working (speed, depth, direction, color, etc...) please share it on channel 72. Last year we had people help out and it made a tremendous difference for some of us and the success rate on the water that morning resulting in many more smiles. If you are thinking about heading to FH to fish this would be that other reason to do so. We will be out with the veterans from 6 - noon'ish. If you are not able to fish on Saturday, but want to help out in an additonal way, money is needed to secure additional rooms and gifts of appreciation for these veterans who have served us all. Any checks can be made out to AllAboard FHFA (just as it is typed without a space) and dropped off at Screwy Louies Sportshop or Anchor Marina and Resort, or mailed to: AllAboard Fair Haven Fishing Association PO Box 566 Fair Haven NY 13064 Thank You wounded warriors on letterhead 2016.pdf

    The Fair Haven 321 tournament top place three fish weight went to Team Fin-Angler with a total weight of 63 pounds 12 ounces. The biggest fish was 23 pounds 8 ounces (king) also taken by Team Fin-Angler and the largest trout taken was a 15 pound 8 ounce lake trout by Team Flash Five. Of the teams entered half would not crack 25 pounds with their three fish weights - the good news is it is getting better. Thank you to all who participated and to team Fin-Angler who donated an additional $100 to the net pen project. Those who fish out of Fair Haven in passing may want to extend a thanks to Fred at Screwy Louies who acted as weigh master in between customers on a busy Saturday and Sunday, Joe and Sue Grondin who acted as our spotters on the break wall both days (Windtunnel), and Turtle Cove for keeping their doors open for us after hours so that we could stay cool while waiting for the results to be announced.

    We fished Friday through Monday and found fish each day but it was tough fishing to say the least without any single presentation being consistent. The fish for us were divided into two active groups 60-65 feet down and 110 - 120 feet down with only one fish coming in the water between the two zones over the last 4 days. Again color did not seem to matter much at all, nor did bait (present or not present). The one thing outside of the two active zones for us was speed - we got most of our hits when we were moving a bit faster 2.7-2.9 (fish hawk X4) even with meat (including lakers). The most up to date I can give you is that yesterday we fished for 4 hours and went 3/5 with better quality fish outside of 200 feet down again 60-65 and 110-120 meat, spoons, and flasher fly. Orange, green, black and white, and UV Glow yesterday (if you see a pattern please share - I cannot). The Fair Haven 321 tournament top place three fish weight went to Team Fin-Angler with a total weight of 63 pounds 12 ounces. The biggest fish was 23 pounds 8 ounces also taken by Team Fin-Angler and the largest trout taken was a 15 pound 8 ounce lake trout by Team Flash Five. Of the teams entered half would not crack 25 pounds with their three fish weights - the good news is it is getting better.

    Here are some other pictures from this weekend. There are quite a few more with descriptions on the Fair Haven All Aboard facebook page and the Fair Haven Fishing Association facebook page. There were a total of 15 boats that participated over the 2 days and another that was ready to go, but unfortunately had an engine issue. All of these pictures were taken at Anchor Resort and Marina. Again there were a lot of people and businesses involved in this effort and Alan will be listing them in the local Fair Haven paper with an article about the past weekend.
