OK, thought there might be some salmon and browns around the piers as I have heard the fish aren't to heavy in the creek yet. Hoping I might pick up a hen first light before heading out, need eggs for steelhead season.
With the long weekend coming up I'd really like to get out fishing at least once this weekend. Haven't fished in over a month. Thinking of trying out of Olcott, staying in tight early trolling plugs then maybe heading out a little deeper as the sun comes up.
Any insight or info? Relatively new to Lake Ontario.
Thinking of heading to Olcott tomorrow, not targeting mature kings around the piers but heading out a little deeper or looking for browns. Anybody have any recent info?
Couldn't even tell you how many I caught last Friday. Gave up on meat and power trolled with sticks, didn't help matters. Some of the silvers were the same size as the sticks I was trolling.
Looking for a black Cannon Econo-Rigger. Mine somehow ended up on the bottom of Lake Ontario this weekend as I was lowering the ball down. Still not sure how the heck it happened. Let me know.
Went east of Olcott to get away from the traffic towards somerset in hopes of getting a brown program going. Worked 40-120 without a single brown trout bite. 3 shaker kings and a nice 7 pound domestic. The domestic had 28 gobies in its stomach, just crazy. Just couldn't find the browns. Didn't mark much in the way of fish or bait. Left me puzzled.
What are the temps like from Olcott to the Oak? Was thinking of fishing browns in the morning. Did the strong NE wind this morning screw things up again? Browns or walleye... Decisions to make.
Yep, as rule of thumb it's 2 up 2 down. Whatever the buoy says I double it. Also there's a motion sickness chewable called bonine. Works pretty well and is non drowsy for someone without sea legs.
I believe he said he's not sharing location and I don't blame him one bit. Nice haul and props to putting time in on the water and being rewarded with a great day. Also, he did post what kind of sticks he was pulling if you read his post.
