WELCOME to the official site of the Lake Ontario Pro-Am Salmon Team Tournament Trolling Circuit - located in Niagara, Oswego, Orleans and Wayne counties. Located along New York’s south shore of Lake Ontario, the Lake Ontario Pro-Am SeriesThe format for the tournament is peculiar in that it’s a team event based on ten points per fish and a point per pound, stretched out over two days of fishing. The teams with the highest point totals earn some great prizes, as well as the prestige of placing high in one of the most competitive events on the Great Lakes.
The Niagara tournament, the longest running of the circuit, will be celebrating their 23rd event in 2007. The tournament is now named after one of its founders, Walter "Skip" Hartman. Oswego County has been around for 12 years, entering its 13th in 2007; Wayne is entering into its 4th contest. Orleans County is starting its second year.
In addition to the individual tournaments themselves, the four established events – Niagara, Oswego, Orleans and Wayne - combine to form a unique series. The winner of the series - based on teams competing in all three events and posting the highest total score in both the pro and amateur divisions - will receive special cash prizes. This year, a $250 entry fee is being added to ensure a bigger prize structure – offering 100 percent cash pay back. By the time it's all said and done, more than $100,000 in cash and prizes was up for grabs between the three events. In 2007, we are actively seeking new sponsors and looking forward to another great year. However, it's not the cash and prizes as much as the prestige of being able to lay claim as the top team on the lake for the year. These tournaments attract the top anglers from around the Northeast, a tribute to the tournaments themselves. Become part of the Lake Ontario Pro-Am Salmon Team Tournament Series.
It's starting to catch on in a big way and it's the perfect celebration to one of New York's greatest natural resources. Come share in the fun!
