I tried leadcore on Otisco last year with a worm harness with 4 to 5 colors out no eyes but plenty of browns believe it or not!

The reason they are so hard to catch is because of all the bait in that lake.

Thats a good idea I never thought of running clip weights that way. I tried runing fast after catching that hog in the mud puddle during may never got another one. I must have run that rouge inches from his head that day.

Yeah I was on to this (reation bite) one day, may before last. I got to the lake late and wanted to troll in front of the causway for a quick musky or brown I had a 5 horse kicker on my Grumman cause I had the lower unit in a million peices at the time. Anyway I had the 5 at full throttle trying to get out to the main lake and my wife said why arent you trolling so I threw a silver and blue rattling rouge out at about 4 to 5 mph. Right before I got to the causeway bam a 7 pounder nailed that floater. Thing was so fat I knew that lure had just pissed it off, no way that fish was hungry. I was though!

Last year when the lake was real low we trolled the harnesses. We caught a lunker probably every 2-3 hours from june thru august. Some windy and cloudy days we could get a limit quick.This year all I could catch were browns although we didnt fish much cause I had to work on the house. Anyway Ill try to attach some pics later. I use braid with a 7 ft. 15lb mono leader and snap weights usually 1 oz. at 30 ft of line and troll at 1-1.5 mph. I remember seeing the pontoon "fly" by me when we were both trolling. BTW Justin there's always a cold beer or twenty in my fridge at the lake!

My wife and I have a camper on Otsico and fished a lot last year. We saw Justins boat almost every weekend. We would troll worm harnesses for a couple of hours. The big pontoon was always out before us and still going strong after we had enough. I remember thinking damn that guy burns a lot of gas. Justin you deserve every fish you take. Its a shame some gluttons keep more than the limit, its the greedy ones that give the rest of us a bad rap. Its been said before but at Otisco you have to work for em'. That lake will never be short on walleye population.
