LOTSA meeting in Olcott
If you are looking to improve your salmon and trout fishing skills on Lake Ontario, the next meeting of the Lake Ontario Trout and Salmon Association (LOTSA) could be your ticket to a better year on the lake. Starting at 7 p.m. on June 3, LOTSA members Marty Polovick, Steve Olay and Joe Yaeger will begin a roundtable discussion at the Town of Newfane Marina in Olcott. The meeting location is new for the group for the June gathering.
The trio of recreational anglers have a solid reputation for catching big fish, and they will be talking about how they consistently catch contest winners in the club tournaments and local fishing events. After they have finished speaking, attendees will be able to ask questions on specifics for fishing the waters of the western basin of the lake. The public is invited to attend, but it is only $10 to become a member. Check out lotsa1.org for more information.
Don Johannes/Pete DeAngelo Memorial Contest June 3
The Don Johannes/Pete DeAngelo Memorial three-fish/one-fish contest from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 3 is the perfect warmup to the Niagara County Pro-Am Tournament June 4-5.
You do not have to be entered in the Pro-Am to compete in this friendly competition and it is a great way to see how your team can stack up against other boats. Entry fee is $100 per team.
The concept is simple. Fish on Lake Ontario targeting salmon and trout for the day. Bring your best three salmon and trout to the scales at Clark’s Park in Wilson before 3 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for the best three fish (total weight) as well as for the biggest fish overall. Sign up by 6 a.m. the morning of the contest at Bootlegger’s Cove Marina and the Gas Shack in Wilson, and The Boat Doctors in Olcott. Scoring will be based on 10 points per fish and a point per pound. For more information, call Mike Johannes at 523-1727.
