    I've been out half a dozen times since August. So far I've landed two steelhead, one brown, and 20 lb King. Lost two kings on rips fishing by myself and couldn't handle all the rods. Free bird 18 is correct in that the salmon seem to have a lot of Lamprey marks on them this year. Still hoping to get out yet on a couple more trips.

    There have been no reports in a week. Where is everybody? What's your excuse for not getting out? Mine is that after 37 years of faithful service the clutches gave out on both downriggers within weeks of one another. Waiting on my new Scotty 1106's to be shipped.

    Fishing was tough today. Fished 8:30-2:30 covering water from 80-250 feet in every depth we were marking fish combo of spoons, flies, flashes and dodgers, riggers and dipsey. Got skunked. Saw many boats out there doing what we were, wandering around aimlessly looking for fish in al depths. Marked the most fish from 125-145 either hugging the bottom or at 40-60 down. Was very rough this AM with waves 3 feet, settled down to >1' later in day.

    Fished 4:30-8:00 covering 95-165 with spoons on the rigger and Dodger fly on a dipsey. Marked plenty of fish 130-165 top to bottom with alot of fish hugging bottom just below the 115 thermocline. Worked the 60-125 depth range. No takers. Be back in the morning.

    I manage to catch a few walleyes every year. Got a couple trolling around Burtis Point early in the summer. Bunch of boys got this beauty off the dock this summer.

    Are they putting landlocked salmon in Owasco again? They used to years ago but I haven't caught any there in 20 years. Live on owasco.

    Been itching to get out again after several earlier attempts in the season resulting in only Steelhead and browns. An hour north of Auburn and I'm launched in fairhaven. Set up at 1:30 p.m. and fish to 3:30 p.m. weather was iffy so we stuck in close which is where I believe the fish to be based on reports. Started trolling in 75 ft with riggers at 65 and 55. Worked 95 pretty good and that was the area I was marking the most fish. Worked out to 105 and back into 75. Decided 95 range was the best Target area and work that in the last hour. After 2 hours we had nothing to show for it and a storm was coming in from the west. Decided to pack up and told my 10-year-old kid to grab and pop the rods and bring up the downrigger. He just got the first rod in and put away when he was reaching for the second rod it popped and we had a screamer. Fish hit on the 65 down carbon 14 spoon. Fought that bugger for a half hour and every time it got close to the boat it would peel off line again. By this time we were in the storm and anxious to get out of there so I put maximum pressure on the fish hoping for the best. The kid netted it and lifted that 20-pounder into the boat by himself. We were soaking wet but happy as hell. Needless to say my boy is anxious to go at it again. Great memories!
