SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

A LOT different than a couple weeks ago...

Friday night, squeezed a couple hours in out in front of the 'cott. Fished 120 to 180 looking for some sharks - got 6 rods in and the starboard outside at 200 with a Mag DW Habanero takes a shot - nobody home. Got 8 lines in and port outside takes a ride from 325 out to 790...commence program tear down - 45 minutes later, 22 1/2 lb Shark comes to the net. Great start! Never moved another rod that nite sans for a 4 lb Steelie off the probe rigger in 49 degree water.

Sat am - headed out in search mode 200 fow off the red barn and put it on a hard NW power troll. Picked fish all the way out to 350 with 325 to 350 seeming the best. Beat up on the Steelies and Cohos along with a couple teenagers and younger kings in the mix. Bloody Death w/ Purple Mirage HOT out 325, outside diver, Frampton took quite a few as well out 350 on the opposite outside. Wires contributing a few back 200 and 250. Deep rigger quiet, probe rigger contributed handily with a MAG SilverStreak UV Blue Dolphin. Caught a bunch, but not the fish we were looking for.

Sat PM we went east looking in the 180 - 100 fow range and found a few more Coho, a few Steelies and 1 teenager. Not much happening. Beautiful night on the lake though!

Sunday am, went west again. Worked the barn to just passed Wilson in building seas from E wind. Picked fish from just east of the red barn to just past Wilson where we did 3 nice flurries with a few immature Kings a steelie and a Coho. Tried trolling back into them and picked up 3 more coho and what we thought was another major that turned out to be a 32â€, SKINNY 8lb steelie hooked in the back – boy did it make a run when it hooked up! 300 ft out quick! Picked a few fish here and there all the way back to Olcott going into them in the 200 to 250 range.

Sunday pm, decided we would try the deep water bite again. Happy Daze (the Hans clan) and friend from LOU Richard had both taken majors in that 200 – 250 range down west on meet on 100’ rigger. We set up about 6:30pm in 200 and worked out to the NW. About 250 fow, the screen lit up…from 150 to the mud (have the screen shot on my phone a couple guys got sent)! Worked around picking a couple immatures and coho looking for some “higher†fish, but couldn’t find them. Dropped the deep meat rigger to 178 and the probe to 150 to see what we could get going and found a nice, big King temp of 42.6 at the ball. As we marveled at the temp and depth of the sharks, the meat fired. Locked! Then the probe fired. Locked! Then the starboard wire fired. Locked! Then the 10 color with 5oz Torpedo fired. Locked! Another 45 minutes of chaos, salmon dancing, rod moving, boat turning and sweating and 2 teenagers, a 2 yr. old, and a skinny, skinny, skinny, 39 ½â€, 24 1/2lb King hits the deck. 4/4 – that’s a first. Worked that water hard for the next 45 minutes til dark and picked another nice ho and immature Kings while of course missing a couple good rips too…headed in to a steady and increasing south blow…hmmm.

Monday am, we set up in the same water with some anticipation of a great morning only to find the screen virtually blank and ice water down 90 feet. 41 and some change down 90 feet. The lake upwelled on the hard south blow from the night prior! We worked out to 300 without much on the screen and turned her south heading back inside as far was we could before our 10am curtain call. Only managed a couple swings and misses as well as a couple nice coho on high divers and 2 teenagers, one on a wire and the other on deep meat.

Be back Labor Day weekend looking for a derby winner...

Great report. Thanks for sharing. We had similar high bite results on sat and Sunday. Guess I should have thrown a couple deep deep to test the marks.
