    Olcott 5/26-5/29

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    For those not on the pm train.... :)

     

    went out of olcott for part of the day. Very slow. Lots of grumpy fisherpeoples!

     

    Had a few hits, 2 jumped off before getting to boat, but at least we didn't come back empty handed.

     

    Most marks were in close, 80-125ish. No rhyme or reason on hits, most were smaller.  Temp varied from 58 to 62 (later) at surface.

    Wilson 9/1

    TONS of marks at the bar. Maybe they were too far west for you.


    Good luck catching any though.... been a real rough year on this end for me at least. Last year was totally different, not sure why.

    Attached screen out at Niagara bar today. About 50 boats on the water. Fished 8-1, saw maybe 4 nets move. One guy landed a nice one and belly flopped it right back onto water after hauling it in from deep, cormorant was on it within ten seconds as it floated at surface after not getting a chance to recover.

    Best was some guy with planer boards out 60 feet on either side beeping at all the other boats to get out of his way :-) guessing he was having a rough go and sun was wearing on him.

    Anyhow...marks are everywhere at the drop. Good luck figuring them out though.

    Maybe I’m just not in the know enough, but i’m not seeing any recent reports out of Wilson, or anything substantive out of Olcott…has it been slow? Wanted to head up tomorrow preferably to wilson but would do olcott if it’s noticeably better! 

     

    Thanks appreciate any input whatsoever 

    Had a handful of small kings on the bar today.  Threw them back. Had 2 big hits, one broke 30 lb leader (nicked?)  Another got loose quickly.    Seems slow on west end of Lake.   Caught one in 320, down 80, others were in 90-120 fow, depths from 50 to 80.   Seems real slow this year compared to years prior.  Not sure what's going on.   Keep thinking about just going for walleye on erie at this point....

    "Z WINGS"

     I have a pair of the Z-wings. My observation, they work well in setting depths 50' or less. Below that setting, they put too much torque on my Scotty's.  In the spring, and late summer, they are quite effective.

     

    I've got the 250 model and it pulls pretty hard.   My walker downriggers will handle it, but they didn't seem very happy to do so.   As a result it mostly collects dust and serves as a spare for me at this point.   I like the fish shaped weights the most myself.

    You should be fine most days.   Keep an eye on forecast, maybe stay nearer to shore in the flats if it gets too rough for ya.   Lots of boats that size out at the dropoff on good weather days.  Even some on 2ft'er days.   I can't say i recall many in the 16 ft range out there when the forecast calls for 2-3 ft waves though.

     

    Worst case, bring some walleye lures and fish the river!
