Wolfhound

I entered for sat at Narby's....was the only one to enter there so far.  I am guessing guys are entering at the marina...?

I was kind of shocked when I saw the lake trout was removed.  I think the format should include them for the grand prize....30 plus pound laker!  Come on man....why? Just as good as a 30 pound salmon in my book... Just sayin...

Hate the rule too...BS

I've had a good year so far....the fish are not jumping in the boat like last year.  Just have to work for them and find them   Over fished NO!

Nice!  Sure is a lot of hungry lakers the last couple years

!

Great video!  Got to be a little tougher with a 20# king headed for Canada!  Too cool!

Just curious who was fishing....Bear Creek Bandits are in!  Looking forward to the old school format.  

Thanks guys...

Congrats!  I still remember observing on your boat for Spoonfed years ago! Come along way since then!  Awesome job!

We started at 500am with a real foggy lake and ice cold water....ran west(very slowly) of port and set up in 75fow water and worked 75-100 fow for the first 3 hrs without a touch...45-46 deg on surface 39 down 50ft. Missed a small fish on dipsey over 150fow... Started to work out to 300 fow and went threw way points from last years open without a touch.  Water was 44 on surface at 300....now its 9am and we don't have a fish....What to do...deep or head inside...I decided to go back to the old way points throw a bunch of meat rigs on and boy did it pay off...We hit a 16#er at 210 fow on a golden retriever and twinkie rig 220 out on dipsey.  Then went back threw  the same spot and did another 16#er on a super bait/slasher rig.  Then took a laker on a spoon off boards with a couple splitshot.  Then missed another good rio on dipsy....had to leave to make weigh n...ended up in 1st place on sat!  NEVER GIVE UP!  Would like to have tried the spot today to see if they were still there.....Thanks to all the people who put this tournament  together it always a great event!

100 fow max...

Beak Creek Bandit for sat....

We caught most of the lakers on a green e-chip and hammer fly...also a few on spinny's.  We fished from Olcott to the plant in 85fow.  Just look for the hooks on bottom and target them...they were hungry.  300 copper was taking fish...coho's came on a stinger spoon from the Onieda lake series off the boards with a couple split shots.  

Fished Olcott Thursday Friday and Sat....We managed 12 Lakers and 4 coho and 1 brown for the 2 days we fished. We got blown off sat and ran the boat back to the oak.  Yes we did run meat without a hit.  Salmon bite was pretty much not there.

Took boat out for shakedown cruse and a little fishing.  Got set up around 7:30 and hit a good fish rite out of the shoot. We ended up breaking the fish off but I am pretty sure it was a king on stinger glow frog SS.  We ended up 5 for 7  with two 10# browns.  Fished 15 to 25 FOW in the stained water.  2 fish on spoons 3 on  j 13's. Only one off rigger. Had to cut trip short as my wife got rear ended on 104....Boat ran great and fish were there! 

Always have one out in the spring....these lures also have surprised me in summer when nothing is working. My tackle box would not be complete with out some these lures.

We fish a lot of am events...our boat is 26ft.  I would be interested if the size was reconsidered.  Sounds like a good tourney.

All is good Glen...Like the your sportfishing page! If you ever need a mate let me know! Put the big boat in the OAK last year and really killed the fish.  We will have to get together this year and fish.....Jim

Fished 8-12 ft of water with plenty of hungry browns....lots of bigger fish in the mix.  Natural colors were the best....water was 39deg.  Cold snap this week going to shut things down for a while....

We were out too.. We did in 11 fish with a mix of coho's laker's and kings. The lake got pretty rough around 11....fish were biting though!

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

We left port around 5pm hoping to get a couple of guys from FL there first king. Started in 100fow with a few marks and bait worked 100-120 until 7 with no hits on those fish. Temp was down around 100... Pointed north and worked out to 200fow...first fish came at 180 on 300 dipsey with meat. The next 3 came over 200fow on 100ft rigger with white spinny hammer fly and on the same diver. I was a little worried I was going to get the first skunk of the year....turned out to be a good night! What a year so far....fishing has been great!

Congrats on the win...was nice to met you at the weigh in. We were happy with second...When we saw your big fish we knew you got us! Hope to see you in Sodus!

I have the insurance too for the oak....38.00 per year. Good piece of mind...

I just ordered a couple....will let you know how they do!

I will be fishing both days...Looking forward to it! First year with the boat in Oak Orchard. Its been a great year so far...lots and lots of fish! I like the open divison because it doesnt have all the B.S. of having a Observer. I just do it for fun with my dad and his buddy's...if we do good great...if not we just have fun.
