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.

You should when the hooks not in the mouth!

Yea, they are a tough fish, but when YOU catch the same one 30 times over the course of a Winter it takes its toll on them!

Head unit has about 600hrs on it. Transducer has less than 20hrs on it. Comes with everything. $800 pick up between Sodus and the Oak. http://www.humminbird.com/Products/1198c-SI-Combo/

I have a Humminbird 1198 available for $800.

That fish was fresh out of a river. The tail was bleeding on the deck.

June 4th - Morning What a tough day! We covered a lot of water and burned a lot of gas to get the fish we had. We fished from 20′ out to 200′. Lake Trout saved the day for us, and we took some studs! Nice to see a few Steelhead showing up as well. Dreamweaver Blue Bubble was our best spoon for the Steelhead, and Hammerhead Lake Trolls took our Lake Trout. These guys from Pittsburgh enjoyed a nice day on the water with great weather. June 4th - Afternoon A little better tonight. We had a mix of silver fish (Steelhead and small Salmon) and some good Lake Trout action. Dreamweaver Blue Bubble and Blue Lagoon were our best spoons in the Super Slim size. Hammerhead Lake Trolls took our Lake Trout. June 5th We got a nice start on a foggy morning. Surface temps dropped 13 degrees overnight, and a slight roll from the NE was left over. We hit a nice 20lb Salmon on a Dreamweaver Sea Sick Waddler fished off our Cannon DT10s, and lost another on a Carbon 14 on a 100′ diver. A Northern King C5 5 of Diamonds took a nice Steelhead on a short Stealth Core as well. Once the sun came out the bite died. We headed to Lake Trout land and went ½ on them before the 30mph+ gusts of wind kicked up.

Familiar Bite just started shipping last week. Had trouble getting bait this Spring. Most shops should have it soon.
