Yankee's Oak Orchard Open 2016

[Yankee Troller]

We tried to make it three in a row for this event (we've won the last two), but when you're fishing against the best teams Lake Ontario has to offer that's a tough thing to accomplish.

 

Fridays Condor event, which was also the first leg of the King of the Oak (KOTO) series, was tough for us. We just didn't put anything together. We fished from 150' out to the 29N line with only some small fish to show for. The screen never really looked good aynwhere. We did find a nice break on the 27N line, but we didn't pull much of any size off it.

 

Saturday, we choose to just go fishing, and it paid off. We got our 5 Salmon by 10:30, it took us 45 minutes to get 3 Lake Trout over 12lbs, but the last two Steelhead we just couldn't find to finish off our tournament box. We ended in 4th place on day 1, and that's where we'd finish because of the blow off day on day 2. 3 out of our 5 salmon came on divers out 225-250', one came on a 600 copper, and the 5th was on a rigger down 110'. 4 out of 5 were on Familiar Bite with the 5th taking a Carbon 14. Our LT came on Hammerhead Lake Trolls. We stopped in 3 different spots looking for some chrome, but apparently we didn't go far enough North or West.

 

Congrats to the teams above us, and thank you to all the teams who came out and fished the event.
