Owasco 5/10, 5/11

fished owasco the last two days. yesterday i started on the south end. did a little pike fishing then off to troll. marked a ton of bait in 70-90 FOW with some fish on them. worked hard and only managed to go 2 for 3. all lakers on riggers with spoons. took a break and with the perfect weather i couldnt resist going out for the afternoon shift. launched at the north end and after covering quite a bit of water found some fish from 60-80 FOW. went around 7 for 10 on lakers. mostly average size fish but i did get 2 or 3 nice fat fish. hooked most of them on copper with a michigan stingray spoon. couldnt get bit on flasher/flies. fish were feisty and did fight hard. talked to a guy at the ramp who got some lakers in 20 FOW on boards/sticks in the same area i was fishing so there all over. today i fished the north end again and dialed them in pretty good. got fish from 50-100 FOW. around 9 for 12, all lake trout, still no browns. found some bigger fish deep and finally got bit on a flasher/fly combo. dipsies with flashy spoons were the trick today. outfished the rigger with same spoon easily. didnt think that was too bad with a 2 rod spread. this nice weather has been relaxing. but i saw the first jet ski of the year today. best, mark
