SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Never being out this early in the season, it was gunna b kind of a crap shoot for us on what and where to start. We say boats shallow and deep, so why not start between them and see what happens?

Started trolling west out of Olcott, picked up a small 'bow and small coho right away.

got west of the Red Barn, deep rigger goes of, pulls a little line, and in comes the first king of the year for us, (just a little guy, around 6lbs.) A few minutes later, pull in a decent brown off the shallow board. A little while goes by, shallow rigger goes then deep rigger goes, bring in a laker on on the deep, lost the other. Since both came off firetiger sticks, up came all of the riggers, and on went 4 firetigers. while lowering the port side rigger, the top stacker releases (buddy is notorious for having weak release sets), so grab the rod to bring it in and the reel starts screaming!! After about 10 minutes of fun, we boat our first good king of the season (22lb). From then on, action was pretty consistent for us, picking up a few more kings in the mid teens and couple more lakers. I just wish we picked up an Atlantic to get the good ol' Ontario Special.

Thanks for the report! I'll be up that way in the next few weeks and hope the fishing is as good. Can't wait for the first spring king. Firetiger was hot for me there last year also.
