Yes were form the lakes region. We mostly fish winni in the spring and then when the crowds show up we fish champlain and several other lakes. Lena and I try to go up to Oswego three weekend a year. The kings are fun. Saturday or Sunday I heard someone yell at ya on the radio. My ball for the speed and temp weighs 18.5 lbs because of the currents. Sunday there was a current coming from the west at almost 4mph. Needless to say if you wanted to catch fish you must fish going west. Anyway good luck.
