  1. I am very interested in fishing out in front of Olcott for Steelhead, Coho, and immature Kings. Anyone have reports or recommendations for going out in 100 or 200 FOW? Or deeper? How long into the season can they be caught out there? Are the Browns along shore in Fall like they are during Spring? Any thoughts appreciated.
  2. I'm hoping to head out in front of Olcott again this afternoon. Waves are supposed to be 1' or less. Anybody have any reports?
  3. Yeah. The 1st King was about 18 lbs. The next two were just shakers. Maybe 2 or 3 lbs. All the fish were nice and shiny. I prefer shiny, fresh fish to salmon that are in the marina or up the creeks and turning black.
  4. I ventured out yesterday late morning in front of Olcott. I set up my downriggers in 80 FOW and got my first hit before I hit the 100' mark. 60' down I got a nice fat Steelhead. I started marking bait pods near the bottom so I set my rigger to 80'. As soon as I picked up my speed....Bam. A nice King. About 17-18#. Working 90'-110 FOW I caught 2 more very young Kings and lost 2 B-I-G hits. All on blue/black spoons. I was home before noon.
  5. It's nice to see some taken off the Olcott pier!!!! I might try trolling near shore Wednesday afternoon if the waves cooperate.
  6. I worked 50-80 FOW and had no luck with the browns. I did very well just a few days ago. Oh well.
  7. I do not have down temp or speed electronics yet. So I do a lot of trial and error. I was shut out for 3 hours before finding the fish. Then bang, bang, bang.
  8. Tuesday afternoon was calm so I took my 16" boat straight out to 350 fow. Set the green Spin Doctor down 90'. Got 4 Coho and 1 mature King. Wednesday morning I had intentions of heading back to 350 fow but the waves did not cooperate. So I worked 90 fow with Spin Doctor and fly. Nothing. So I decided to go for browns. I found browns in 50 fow trolling east. 7 browns. Some small. Some medium. Some big.
  9. Yes, it is me. I'm heading out today with a friend. I hope I do well. I'm surprised I never see you in the harbor. Or do I see you and not recognize you?
  10. The problem was that fog. It was thick and showed no signs of letting up. I have an electronic GPS compass and my trusty Boy Scout compass on board, but I wasn't about to travel miles into the fog. I'm just hoping the fog clears up. Thanks for the tip! If the fog clears I will venture out.
  11. Lake turned over. Went out Wednesday morning 7/4. It is FOGGY out there. Water temp is 47 degrees. No fish for me.
  12. Started out in front of Olcott at about 7:00 am. Fished 100-300 fow, anywhere from 30' to 80' down. Funny thing was the only hits I had were 30' down. And between 200'-220'. Those Coho hit my spoon and were in the air before I could even reach for the rod. It was awesome! I went 4 for 6. The two I lost had shaken the hook in mid-air before I could set the hook.
  13. I missed the meeting. Is there a site that has a summary?
  14. Like magic, as soon as I got to the steps........wham. Landed a couple. Lost a few. Jaime
  15. Didn't they change state law for bass? You can catch them before opening date, just not keep them?
  16. You can TARGET Lake Trout. You cannot KEEP Lake Trout until Jan 1.
  17. Anybody have a report for the Niagara Bar? Are the Lakers in yet?
  18. Just wondering if anyone has been fishing the shoreline at Olcott for browns. Also, I've seen a report that steelhead, browns, and immature kings are out about 100' - 170'. Can anyone confirm this?
