Now that my boat and summer residence are winterized and nicely tucked in for the winter the creative juices are flowing once again.

The traditional 2 day ProAms and the recently organized 1 day open Challenges. There are 4 ProAMs currently in play and at present in the Eastern Basin of the lake there are 3 Challenge events. What are the differences in the formats?

Lake Ontario Fishing is recognized for its world class status but the fishery just didn't happen by chance. Thu, 31 May 2008 04:49:43 EST http://www.captainexperience.com/Default.asp?ItemID=44 2008 CaptainExperience.com The world class fishery that exists in the waters of Lake Ontario did not just happen by chance. It is the work of dedicated NYS and US fishery professionals who have set and achieved lofty goals. These accomplishments have resulted in the creation of our wonderful world of trout and salmon angling. Thu, 8 May 2008 04:49:43 EST http://www.captainexperience.com/Default.asp?ItemID=43 2008 CaptainExperience.com In todays angling world, the philosophy and practice of catching a fish and then releasing it to hopefully live and fight another day is as popular as good ole Oprah and the Double Whopper. It is simply the in thing to do. While I agree that catch and release is a fine idea, I am not in tune with those who seem to have elevated the practice to some sort of mystical, uplifting experience.

Look at Al Gores global warming crusade and you find those that claim the sky is falling or should I say warming and those who offer scientific evidence to the contrary, although that evidence is often hard to find unless you really look for it.

Actually I should say the "goings on" of our wonderful politicians as they try to solve what is "going on" with the economy as they attempt to determine what is actually "going on".
