Anglers fishing the 2017 NYS Winter Classic Fishing Tournament can visit three local businesses – All Seasons Sports and Salmon River Sports Shop in Pulaski, and App’s Bait and Tackle in Cleveland – to weigh in their catches. Considered the largest winter fishing tournament ever conducted in NY state, the NYS Winter Classic Fishing Tournament continues through the end of February.
Winning pictures will be featured in the new Oswego County Fishing and Hunting Guide, which is due out later this year. The contest is open to residents and non-residents, as long as the photos are taken in Oswego County. Each person can submit up to five color photos; either vertical or horizontal. Only digital photos will be accepted.
On Tuesday night, city officials took the next step toward making the Oswego River a safer place for fishermen. They hope to have Brookfield Power, operator of the Varick Dam, help pay the costs of whatever solution is implemented, the mayor said.
Several dozen fishermen participate in a meeting to find ways to make fishing in the Oswego River safer and prevent mishaps like the one last week that has claimed the lives of two anglers. Local and state authorities will now review all the information and a second public meeting is being planned to update the community.
Mayor Randolph Bateman has announced that a meeting will be held on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the EconoLodge to enable the community to discuss ways to improve fishing safety on the Oswego River.
When it comes to fishing tournaments, consistency is the name of the game. For the Lake Ontario Pro-Am Salmon Team Tournament Series, consistency must be combined with a sound strategy for big fish … and a little bit of luck.
