We just got home didn’t fish today but yesterday did ok couple miles west of Wilson in 140’. Wasn’t the best action but we got a few.

What about the boat doctor guy in olcott?

Can anyone living up in Olcott give me an update on travel restrictions? I want to head up Memorial weekend. All I can find is follow CDC guidelines which doesn't state that travel is restricted just to plan your trip properly. We are coming from Ohio. Thanks

Thanks all! Yes it was crazy how many people were there from Ohio. Seemed like not after boat on 90 west. Yes I’m lucky the wife likes going and knows what she’s doing. She’s trying to get me to go back up there in the next couple weeks!

If u look close at that pic u can see it all chopped up! Had to hide to take the pic! Lol

Came up from Ohio to fish Olcott this past weekend. Saturday was a little bumpy...we started off in 200’ and worked out to 450’. We got one 18 pounder in 250’ on rigger 55 down with orange spoon. Also a couple shakers and smaller steelhead on meat. Nothing on flies for us. Sunday we got 3 nice ones. A 24 an 18 and 15. They were all on spin doc and no see um fly. Dipsy 3 setting 200 back. One 10 pound steel down 100. We stayed inside this time from Olcott to the microwave. Fished 100-130’. Best was right in front of microwave. Nothing on meat. We did have a few hits that came unbuttoned. Monday we fished same spot as Sunday. Lost one out of the gate but then landed a 30 pounder good enough for 8th place in the loc. That was on meat rig down 77. We had a few hits on flys today but they came off. We got one other on the same meat rig smaller but he ran right into the kicker prop and chopped himself up. Not it bad considering the wind was every direction the past few days

I care! Never fished this late in the year up there. Would be interested to know what's biting.

What size plugs does everyone use? 4"?

Sad for all involved and prayers to the families. I do have a question if anyone can answer. I fish lake o several times a year and I know boat traffic especially that far out is sometimes few and far between. My question is how did anyone know to look for them? It seems like it happened so quickly, were they able to get a distress call out? In windy and wavey conditions it's hard enough to spot anybody in the water.

Goodyear now makes a tire called Endurance. It's made in the USA. Google them. I don't have them but have heard good things about them.

I have a 23' Proline. Paid $18k us for it. I take it out in swells and pretty much anything 6' under. Now typically I won't go out it 6' but if it comes up I feel ok about it. The main thing is make sure your engine is well maintained and have backup to the backup Saftey gear and u should be fine. I have fished Lake Erie most of my life with a 20' boat and if u take it easy and don't drive like a manic u can do most days. I always try to plan where I'm fishing. If it's let say a good east or north east wind I will typically run east out of port so I can tell back with the waves in case I get in a pickle. That's just me though.

Trailer is sold.

Probably too small for ya.

23'. It's not on it anymore.
