2013 LOTSA Salmon School Announcement

[tbromund]

As Part of our 2013 LOTSA Salmon Spectacular Weekend, on Saturday, February 23, 2013, the day before our Expo and Flea Market, The Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association is proud to sponsor two of the finest and most successful fisherman on Lake Ontario, Captain Pete Alex of Vision Quest Sportfishing and Tom Allen of A-Tom-Mik Manufacturing, for a full day Salmon Fishing Clinic. Captain Pete and Tom have consistently won or highly placed in many Tournaments, all over Lake Ontario, on both the New York and Ontario Sides of the Lake.

As guys that are like most of us, Pete and Tom are NOT full time Lake Ontario Charter Captains and can offer a unique perspective on the challenges of getting to a strange port and successfully locating and getting on the fish as needed to successfully fish tournaments, based on only a day or two of Pre-Fishing, similar to the challenges all of us recreational weekend warriors face as we fish the numerous Derbies and Tournaments, or just travel to the hot fishing ports around the lake as the season progresses.

Pete and Tom are sure to bring you an outstanding and informative presentation, specifically geared towards being successful on OUR lake, regardless of the port you fish out of.

The Seminar will be at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, 4H Building in Lockport, NY. 4485 Lake Ave (Rte 78), Lockport, NY 14094, approx 2 miles north of Lockport.

The cost of the School is $70.00 and will include lunch and a Goodie Bag full of effective Lake Ontario Tackle.

Seating is limited to the first 100 registrants and is first come first serve, so this Seminar is bound to sell out quickly. For more information and Seminar Registrations got tour website www.lotsa.org

LOTSA is excited to announce the addition of Scotty Richardson, better known on Lake Ontario as "Hammer" to compliment Pete Alex and Tom Allen as the instructors for our Salmon School on February 23rd.

Scotty brings a tremendous amount of experience from both the Canadian and the US sides of the Lake on King fishing.

He is going to focus on how he successfully incorporates the use of bait into his spread for Kings throughout the year.

also a correction to the post above the address is 4487 Lake Ave, not 4485.

Thanks,

Tim

Unfortunately, We have just learned that Scotty Richardson (Hammer) has a conflict and will not be available to instruct at our Salmon School. Pete Alex and Tom Allen have been working at structuring the class over the past two months around the topics/questions submitted by the attendees. It's developing into another very detailed Lake Ontario based class (thanks Bob Cinelli and Vince Pierleoni for the detailed class the last two years) diving into the details that make both Pete and Tom so successful fishing Lake Ontario.

The class is currently about 70% full so if you are planning on attending please don't wait too long to sign up as it will sell out soon as it does every year. We would also like your topics/questions soon to make sure they get incorporated into the class material. We apologize for the "Hammer" conflict and still plan on covering the area of running bait successfully in your spread that He was slated to cover in the class.

For those of you planning on coming in from out of town for Pete Alex and Tom Allen's Salmon School on Saturday Feb 23 and/or the LOTSA Expo on Sunday Feb 24 (or both), We have attempted to secure some sort of Show Special Rate at the local Hotels.

Amazingly enough, none of them were willing to make any kind of real deals with us. You would think they’d be falling all over themselves to fill rooms in Lockport NY in late February, but it is what it is.

There are 3 hotels nearby: Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn and the Lockport Inn and Suites. All are available to book rooms through Travel Sites such as www.travelocity.com or www.orbitz.com. All three of the local hotels’ rates are fairly close on both of those sites ($75.00-$86.00) and all are approximately 5 minutes or so from the Venue.

Quite honestly, It looks like you’ll get a better rate going through one of those sites than dealing with the hotels directly.
