    Current plays a huge roll. Trolling off Oswego this weekend my blowback on my riggers, bend in the dipsy rods, angle of diver wire in the water LOOKED like I was trolling much faster than my subtroll was telling me. Best guess was the upper water layers were crankin' but in the deeper water layers....not so much. I know I was not hitting my usual depths with my divers and I dumped a 300 Copper into a mag diver out 300'......that should never happen.

    I assume fish were coming out of temp up that high or did the lake roll?

    Just checked the temp transects page and it looks like the SE wind is opening up some cooler temps inside. You may want to try in close along the bottom. A lot of derby kings over the years have come from the water west of Wilson as the fish stage there before running the Niagara might be a good plan B.

    I refuse to reel in anything longer than a 300 Cu, so I just add a musky torpedo to get deeper.

    You don't need an LED light to catch kings. Big Weenie's glow beads glow for like eight hours.

    I have caught Kings with verts and a j-plug or a flasher/fly trailing fished close to bottom. Usually wait until fish have moved in closer to try.

    Had my Cannon manual riggers upgraded to electrics. The conversion was done at Screwy Louies and was 1/2 the cost of new.

    I don't know why the fish left ideal conditions on Sat. I was left scratching my head also.

    We crapped the bed Sat. on the inside waters as well. Marked a TON of bait with great water temps and current off Olcott. Only two fish in 5 hours of trolling. The inside bite for what ever reason did not happen this weekend. I thought for sure fish would be staging closer to shore but as usual, the fish dictate. Kings are staging offshore right now.

    Size #1 dipsy 300' out will get you about 80' down on wire or braid. A mag Dipsy with no ring 300' out will get you 110' down. A Mag sized Deeper Diver 300' out will get you about 118' down. Based on a flasher/fly trolled at 2.25 mph down speed. Depths are based on my own experience with tapping bottom.

    Untapped resource. I gaurantee there are a ton of browns in the water east of Olcott and you will have the place to yourself.

    Boat Doctors in Olcott will do it for you. Reasonable pricing. If you want the boat closer to home there is a marina on Campbell Blvd. on Tonawanda Creek that will offer the same.

    Capt. Samia .....I think had some underwater footage of flashers rotating and noted the opposite of what is logical. I believe he noted the tighter to the ball the flasher was, the greater the rotation. Don't know how you could measure the rotation only observation.

    Interesting mixed schools showing on these fishing reports 1/2 with adipose fins (stockers) with 1/2 nat. repro. fish. Looks like they are heading east

    http://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/glcfs.php?lake=o&ext=swt&type=N&hr=00 Bottom temps look cool inside. You may not have to go out far to get into fish.

    Actually, now it doesn't look too bad for tomorrow. Just sleep in a little to let the lake settle down a bit and you should be fine.

    Maybe 1-2' waves in the harbor...........
  18. Gill-T
    How big is your boat? With strong NW winds, expect large waves until sat.

    Pennyanboats.com A couple of nice freshwater boats on site.

    HOLY SOLO JOB!!!!! Bet you were tired.
  21. Gill-T
    When did you get the Pennie? Post some pics.
  22. Gill-T
    I don't think the blank has a specific name just a black/white/glow NK. Been around as a fish catcher since the 80's.

    Can't blame Tim for the blood bath. Funny thou. Dave tried his bow hook as a gill holder and it had a different effect......4 buckets of water later the deck was clean again.
  24. Gill-T
    Yes!!!! Between the microwave and the power-plant.

    This is Tim Bromund. Tim likes fishing. Today he caught a 31 lb salmon while on my boat . Utilizing the intel gleamed from fishing on my boat today....... Tim will be fishing aboard his 24' Thompson tomorrow in the same area......while I will be scraping my house siding. Tim loves having other boat traffic around to gage trolling speed so everyone should look for him on the water. He will be in approx. 180' FOW and fishing 60-115' down with flashers and flies. If you troll real close to him he might be able to show you how to properly bleed a fish or how to break dance/spinning on his back while going for a rigger rod that just fired .
