Nearshore Olcott Bite

[overthelimit]

Hey guys,

Thinking about trying the inshore waters this week if we get a really nice day. I spend most of my time in Lake Erie in my 16 ft tiller chasing walleyes and looking to try something different. I thought targeting browns might be an option.

I have two riggers and a couple dipsy rods. From everything I read finding where the thermocline intersects the bottom is a good starting point. I dont have a speed and temp unit buy my Lowrance will sometimes pick up the thermocline, probably looking for bait on the bottom is a good idea to.

I'm guessing 60-100 fow? Any advice / pointers would be great. I have some NK 28's, Stingers, Contenders, and DW SS's.

There are kings inside as well.

If you start in 60 fow you'll probably drive over most of the browns. We regularly catch them in mid summer in 30-45 fow out of Olcott. I would work 30-60 east of port before you move out to 60-100, you will very likely also get kings in that 60-100 zone.

Sounds fun, thanks for the info

Check your lures for weeds often as the inside water off Olcott has been loaded with Niagara tossed salad.
