Nice to see you are keeping it to the surrounding counties and not open to the entire lake. Should make for a more interesting/fair tourney. Heck, anyone can charter a boat at the oak and whack majors....

Where can you sign up and how much it is?

Thanks

In addition to the prizes A-Tom-Mik and Elosta, we also have prizes from Great Lakes Angler, Ridgeback Rattler, R&R spoons from mytackleboxcom and The Front Porch Gift Shop. We also will be raffling off a half day charter from Trophy Nuts Charters compliments of Captain Bob Geis. There is more on the way, I’ll keep you all posted.

Don’t forget to renew or become a member of Elotsa to qualify for their big fish prize!

Just in……got a phone call from Ron Jacoby of Beginners Luck, there were more prizes that arrived late for the LSRC that the manufacturers would like to pass on to us! Amongst them are products from Walker Down Riggers and Big Weenie. I’ll keep you posted on the full list soon.

Oswego is also included; 15 out of the top 21 salmon on the Fall LOC are out of Oswego area compared to 2 from the West end; seems like Oswego way has the advantage.

I travel from Binghamton NY and have been fishing from Sodus to Sandy Pond ports for the last 11 years. Am I missing something better out of "Oak Orchard"? What's your opinions Guys?

You can't beat the oak for it's summer fishing but a lot of big fish move East this time of the year.
