    Observations from the Water - 4/25/2021

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    The last section of your blog post is a direct pitch for booking a charter. That's probably what the other posters are referring to. 
     
    If you read most reports on there, they give information on port, location (line #), depth, baits used, color, trolling speed, down temp, etc. Compared to other reports posted on the board, yours lacks in terms of actionable info, other than you caught a king and some lakers likely in the bar area.
     
    Yankee Troller puts out some of the best reports on the board. Maybe check out his reports and compare them to yours.
     
    I'm not criticizing you. Overall, I'm indifferent. I'm just explaining what others might be taking away from your post compared to the posts of other members. 


    That’s exactly what I was looking for, Colin. I’ll be sure to post that info from now on.

    For this last week - lakers and kings were caught on 4” chartreuse and gold spoons - I use moonshine lures but that doesn’t matter. Trolling speed was 2.5mph. Depths were 80-100. Area was between 4mile and 12 mile. I launch from Lewiston and Wilson - never any further east than that.

    Thanks for all the constructive feedback. Unlike on Facebook or the other outlets all people would be doing is casting hate.

    As a guy that’s on the water near daily, I’m all about providing info on whatever I see to help others. Sure, I’m a captain and take people out all the time but I don’t consider myself an expert - I don’t know what an expert is when it comes to dealing with Mother Nature.

    After re-reading my post - I’m trying to figure out what makes it seem like a promo - the last sentence? Where I’m encouraging folks to book trips if they haven’t already? Like I said before - that doesn’t apply to people on this forum - you all have your own boats so you aren’t going to book me anyway. I’m not trying to sell you on booking me - I’m trying to provide helpful info so if it isn’t helpful - let me know what else you want to know but try to recognize that a small part of what’s in my posts are directed to a larger audience outside of LOU. I don’t have the time to edit content for every platform so I hope you understand and can ignore what isn’t relevant to you.

    Does it seem like a sales pitch because it’s a link to my site and not a direct post of 800+ words and dozens of images to this page? As I mentioned before - this platform isn’t conducive to posting a lot of content in a single post - it takes forever to load a couple images let alone dozens. So I guess if you think it’s problematic/unsightly scroll past and don’t click.

    Bottom line - I want to provide useful content to help the community of anglers and be at least a little entertaining at the same time. If you think I’m accomplishing neither - please let me know how to improve/what else you want to know.

    great pics but your posts seem less like a fishing report and more like a link to your site geared to get you more charters.
     
    either way i sure do love salmon pics

    That’s a fair observation, Kevin. I try to strike a balance since those Observations go out through all my social media outlets as well as to newsletters to all my clients. I spend too much time on the water to develop separate reports for each venue. With respect to LOU and LEU, I realize that pretty much everyone on here has their own boat and gets after it on their own so I’m hoping if anyone on here wants more info - they can comment or message me. Thanks for reading!

    Every week, I publish blog about what I saw on the water while guiding - what we caught, where we fished (no exact details), what we used, etc. Hopefully readers will find it useful. It’s also full of pictures. I’d post the photos here but it’d take way too long as there are a ton and this app only lets you upload one at a time. Enjoy!
