    We found some nice sized fish this morning to the west between wilson and olcott. Anywhere between 250 and 310 was best for us.

    Olcott 7/27

    Went 3 for 5 this morning. Ran west towards wilson, set up at around 830am just a little east of wilson in 250 ft. Got three hits right away and only landed one of them, about 17lbs. Broke one off on a minion rigged meat rig on a dipsey out 150ft. and lost another on a rigger 50 ft down. Moved out to 310 ft and caught two out there. One 21 lbs on a minion flo bot and uv SD on a dipsey 200 ft out and another, 17 lbs on a rigger set at 55. Rigger fish was a chrome and black SD and minion night fury fly.

    Not sure if it’s open? I kinda doubt it, the water hasn’t gone down that much.

    That's what i figured but wasn't sure if that changed. I would gladly take you up on the offer on sunday if it was too windy for my boat but my wife wouldn't appreciate it if i left her behind i'm sure, she gets sea sick pretty easy.  If i was to do that she would probably take my truck and boat for ride back home while i was out fishing.  She has this habit of reminding me on occasion that she is part owner of my rig.  All kidding aside, thanks for the offer.

    Were heading up Thursday to Sunday, from the looks of it Saturday afternoon might get a little interesting but other than that should be good to go 
    Sunday is not looking very good right now. The forecast has been pretty consistent the last few days with the winds picking up Saturday afternoon thru Monday. My wife and I are heading up Saturday morning thru Monday. I wish someone with experience up there with south or southwest 15 to 20 mph winds would give us an idea of what the lake might be like. I know that on Erie I would not be fishing in those winds.Screenshot_20190724-133023_Windfinder%20Pro.jpeg

    Running meat and spoons

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    I also have a fish hawk and wasn't aware there was a difference.  The day that i ran the meat at a slower speed i caught a few bigger fish on the meat rigs and  flasher/fly rigs and only caught a couple of smaller 5 lb fish on the spoons i was running.  Maybe i will try to speed up a little bit and or run smaller/lighter spoons in the spread the next time and see what happens.  Thanks

    I just started running meat rigs and was advised to run the meat at around 1.9 to 2.2 mph on the probe and no faster. I'm sure people run meat along with spoons in the spread at the same time, so what speed do people run at if mixing both in the spread?  I figure the spoons wont have much action going that slow.  I usually run a 6 rod spread which includes 2 riggers, 2 wire dipseys and 2 lines off of boards and i like to mix it up. 

    Copper and wire

    It is said that 19 strand torpedo wire has the same sink rate as weighted steel when it is used combined with steel. It also said that weighted steel has the same sink rate as copper. So can I use 300 copper +200 19 strand instead of 500 copper? It would mean less weight, smaller reels and fewer copper related birds nests.

    That is the jist of what maker of torpedo weighted steel claims. There is a long thread on here from over the winter where we discussed this exact topic. I have a couple of reels set up with 200ft of weighted steel backed by 19 strand. They work well.

    I'm heading up to olcott tomorrow morning with my wife and daughter.  I have no idea where to begin trolling for the day, I havent been up there in over a month.  If someone  would give me a little guidance on where to start I would greatly appreciate it.  Shallow or deep, east or west?  Thanks

    I would look at itroll system. I looked at several and this is the one i purchased...works flawlessly for 3 years now and very easy to install. 
    I would suggest the itroll also. It is infinately adjustable unlike the others which allows you precisely dial in your speed if you want to. It is very well built and very easy to install. I heard the customer service is great if you ever need it. I have had mine for 4 years and have had zero issues and I use it a lot. In regards to the hunt mode, you get a free trail period with it when you buy the unit. I tried using it and it works well but you can not adjust it in the fly which I did not like so I did not purchase the feature at the end of the trial period.
