How did the Salmon tournament go this week end? Looks like there was some rough water. Are the salmon biting?

Good coaching always helps. We will give it a whirl tonight.
If you go to Fairport - Fairport Fishery is the easiest launch site, Ranguette's is hard to get out of. Harbor Master Dave!

Went to Fairport with Andrew. Launched at the Fairport Fishery. Got on the water about 4:30 and fished until after 11. Put 9 fish in the boat a few nice ones. Knocked one off with the net for my buddy in an awkward move at the boat. I think I will look for a very long handled net to net off the back of the boat as I see Fin from Cedar R. do in one of his videos. Nothing like watching the pros to learn something.
The water was calm, the fishing productive, the sky was filled with shooting stars and the company was good.
Thanks everybody on this site for the helpful advice and direction.
Thanks to the Fairport Fishery guys for leaving their facility open for cleaning fish and providing ice and a launch!
