In the 49th Annual Greater Niagara Fish Odyssey Derby that ended last Sunday, some impressive fish were measured through the Fishing Chaos app. For the adults, first place catches were a 40-inch salmon by Doug Updyke; a 28-inch brown trout by Matt Vogt; a 31-3/4-inch rainbow by Roy Leising; a 21-1/2-inch smallmouth bass by Gabby Geiger; a 37-inch carp by Dan Kelsey; a 31-inch walleye by Mike Pinkham; and a 39-inch lake trout by Mike Freeman. Getting the kids out there is important, too, and the winning Odyssey youth catches this year were Emma Flaherty with a 35-1/2 inch lake trout; Logan Wilson with a 20-inch bass; Marshall Beck with a 35-1/2 inch carp; Aiden Wilson with a 9-1/4-inch rock bass; Trevor Wilson with a 27-inch sheepshead; Connor Flaherty with a 28-inch walleye; and Josh Wittkop with a 38-1/4-inch salmon.

Upstate and Western New York Fishing Report- August 29, 2024

New York City, NY

The Eastern Long Island Fishing Report is compiled and written by writer/blogger and fly-fishing industry professional, Jack Larizadeh (@jack.lariz). Jeff at Whitewater Outfitters in East Hampton reports, “ There are still fluke in the bay, action isn’t too strong in the ocean which is strange considering the amount of large ocean fluke over the past several seasons. In other news, hand sized bonito and blues invaded the inlets and jetties. It’s only a matter of time before albies flood inshore. That said were seeing a ton of false albacore offshore, any day now they should flood inshore and chew! For albies, 3 inch clear to white to pink jigs and albie snax work best. Finally, offshore were finding plenty of tuna in the 30 to 50 pound class fish 10 to 15 miles offshore”.

WHITE MOUNTAIN—“That’s a lot of horses,” lamented Cheyenne resident Robyn Smith from a high-desert ridgeline. It wasn’t her first exasperated exclamation. “Argh, oh crap,” was her immediate reaction to learning a federal judge had given the Bureau of Land Management the OK to proceed with plans to fully remove two wild horse herds from the landscape in southwest Wyoming.

Tsunamis are (often) giant ocean waves triggered mainly by earthquakes. These waves, as we often see them happening in Asia roll ashore and cause loss of life and devastation. Did you know that tsunamis are not just a West Coast or Asia event? Tsunamis can happen pretty much anywhere where the ocean’s floor moves. Larger tsunamis are caused by an earthquake near a subduction zone as the leading edge of the overriding plate breaks free and springs seaward, raising the sea floor and the water above it. This uplift starts a tsunami. Meanwhile, the bulge behind the leading edge collapses, thinning the plate and lowering coastal areas.

What is a tsunami? Can they happen along the East & Gulf Coasts?
