  1. We headed east again and we were fishing the IBFG club tournament.

    Big kings eluded us yesterday , we lost a mid teenager at the net, lost a major on the 400' copper and had a another when a 50lb leader broke on the 300' copper.

    We ended up 22 for 26 tons of lakers , managed a couple browns and a nice steelhead.

    We ended up with 1st place steelhead,3rd place brown as well as 3rd place laker.

    Big Weenie meat rig on the 400 copper was hot all day as well as Stinger Frost Byte and UV Gator on riggers and dipsys

    Fished 120-200 FOW

    Fleas are still awful !!!

    Good Luck

  2. Headed east this morning. Things started slow but picked up. We finished 12 for 14 with 2 kings,2 browns a Steelhead and the rest lakers. Spoon bite, haven't been able to get a FF to fire since last week.

    DW NBK,DW gator, green alewife and Stinger frost byte took all the fish.

    Fleas are as bad as I've ever seen, even getting on 30 lb sea flea, rigger cables and hooks on the lures.

    Check your lines every 15 to 20 minutes or you will have a mess! Fished 100 FOW to 200 FOW fish came from 65-90' down

    Good luck and good fishing!

  3. Slipped out around noon for a solo trip out of I bay. I headed east and set up 3 rods in 100 FOW, 2 riggers and a dipsey. I only got in a little over an hour before storms started rolling in .

    Took 2 quality fish a nice steelhead and fat brown.Steelhead put on a show jumping 6' out of the water 4 times before I finally remembered to turn the Go Pro on.

    Steelhead came in 100fow down 73' on DW gator, the brown came in 85' fow down 75' on DW NBK

    After I landed the brown it was time to get out of Dodge as the lake was capping and lightning in the distance.

    Good Luck and good fishing!

  4. FYI Cabelas is opening next week in Buffalo,I received an invitation for a before the general public opening for Aug 6th

     

    The party is over already though I just placed an online order and was charged NYS sales tax 

  5. We started out friday fishing Big Fish Friday and trying to get a program ready for Saturdays shoot out.

    It was a short crew just 2 of us on Friday and we headed west.We set up in 100fow and had a good screen but couldn't move a rod so we started a north troll. We picked up a few skippy kings once we got over 200fow. Temps down were up high as had been the case all week.When we hit 400fow we took a hit off the rigger down 80' on a white green dot spinny and an MC rocket crazy fish and shortly boated a 13lb coho.We worked betweeen 400-450 fow and boated 4 steelhead between 4 and 7 lbs. We took a good hit on the dipsy with a spinny and fly but the leader broke and we lost the spinny and fly set up as well as the fish.

    We decided to troll south east and work back in. Things were dead for quite a while but when we hit 260fow the rigger rod fired 45 down with a DW gator, a nice steelhead that put on a show and weighted in at 10lb 5oz.. We landed another small steelhead and continued to troll in. When we hit 150fow the rigger down 45' with the DW gator fired again the rod bent over and as soon as I grabbed it it started screaming out drag. We pulled in the 300' copper  and dipsey along with the other rigger rod from that side of the boat. After a couple more runs I started getting it to the boat. With about 60' 0f line still out I look to the starboard side and see a sail boat heading right for us. With just the 2 of us on board I tell my net man/driver you have one chance get him in the net and grab the wheel. I get the fish to the wash and he slips the net under the big fish, He then hands me the handle and grabs the wheel and turns hard to port. As I hoist the fish into the boat the sail boat pass by at 30 yds waving and smiling saying "hello". If we hadn't cleared the lines we would have had a mess.

    The king was a good one we put it on our digital scale and it was bouncing around at 23lbs.

    We pulled evey thing up as it was 1;30 and headed in

    The fish weighted in at 22.25lbs at weight in we took 2nd place just shy of 1st which was 22.43lbs

     

    Saturday was a diffent story we were done as soon a we left the creek we headed west instead of east and that was a big mistake. We landed 2 small browns and some skippy kings . Warm water started rolling in and we just couldn't put anything good on the deck. We finally went to our laker program landing lots of fish but only one good one and at that point it was late so we didn't even put it in our box.

     

    Big congrats to Matt and crew of the Jakey Baby they had a great day and earned the win!!!

     

    We are looking forward to next years shoot out

    We can't complain it's been a great season so far for the Double D,9th place salmon in spring LOC, Summer LOC 2 salmon on the board (one fell off) both won fish of the day,21.5oz Lake trout 9th place and  won the video contest.

     

    Good fishing and good luck to all
